I walk away and let it airdry.

I've never used more than a squeeze and a shake.

I sit, squeeze and preferably wash with water afterwards. At the office I sometimes sneak into the disabled toilet because it does have a sink behind the locked door.

Toilet paper is the second option, but it leaves traces sometimes.

Shake is all you need. Whoever claims otherwise is not good at the shaking game

...if you're wearing underwear to catch the bit that clings to the tip, because of how liquids work.

Or uses the toilet after “a proficient shaker” or worse yet, has to clean said toilet after group of “proficient shakers” have done their business.

[–] unnamed1@feddit.org 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

In the few instances in my life of ever losing a drop in the seat I cleaned it away. It’s not hard. It’s just about not being an asshole to others

[–] MolochHorridus@piefed.social 4 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Microsplatters though. It may seem the stream is solid, but it ain’t.

The simple act of peeing makes a cloud of microsplatters on its own

[–] unnamed1@feddit.org 3 points 4 days ago (4 children)

But that’s a peeing problem, not a shaking problem :D

¿Por qué no los dos?

[–] pmk@piefed.ca 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

If I'm at home I wash it at the sink faucet before washing my hands.

[–] observes_depths@aussie.zone 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

But now it's more wet and the question remains

[–] pmk@piefed.ca 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Wet but clean, so my bath towel works. Or the small towels my girlfriend use to wash her face, whatever is closest.

[–] observes_depths@aussie.zone 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Fair enough. Does your girlfriend know?

[–] pmk@piefed.ca 4 points 4 days ago

Yes, but she has lots of them. Ok, to be honest, I do this maybe half of the time, after considering if there is a chance my penis will end up in her mouth later, I want to be clean. She puts her diva cup in the sink some times and forget to rinse it, we just not easily grossed by natural body things I guess.

[–] Pirtatogna@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Same, or in fact any sufficiently private space. The wetness (from water) isn't a problem, piss (or other bodily fluids, depending on what I was up to and with whom in the bathroom) is the problem. I have unreasonably sensitive skin and get eczemas easily, so I need to keep my basement squeeky clean.

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 2 points 4 days ago

Squeeze then wipe, shake if toilet paper isn't available (urinal)

[–] zout@fedia.io 2 points 4 days ago

Yes. It depends on the when and where.

[–] Mantzy81@aussie.zone 2 points 4 days ago

Depends on the time and place. Whether standing or sitting and whether I was wiping anyway.
