How to Avoid Getting Those Last Drops of Urine in Your Pants (for Men)


Guys: tell me if this sounds familiar. You're going to the bathroom, everything is going fine, and as soon as you've...stowed everything, your body decides to rebel and release its last few drops of urine into your pants. Next time, try this trick.

You'd think this shouldn't be a problem but for some of us, things just don't (ahem) shake out the way you'd like. So, from now on: every time you urinate, after you're finished, press on your perineum—that is, the area between your testicles and anus—and then shake. This will ensure the last bit gets out before you put everything away.

I don't know if there's a female version of this (though my coworkers tell me this sounds like a gender-specific issue), but if you have any of your own tips—male or female—share them below.
