    I've yet to have anyone make a smart remark or even pass me a kilt compliment while in a men's room....let a lone hit on me.
    On three separate occassions I've given out UK cards in men's rooms when some poor fellow realized the obvious advantages of the kilt and asked where he could get one.

    I almost always do the urinal. Just move the sporran to the side, lift, and go. Just make sure you're dry before you lower the aprons.

    Urinal, unless they are all full. And I don't even bother to move the sporran aside, just grab the bottom of the apron, both inner and outer, and lift up, catching the sporran with the palms and lifting it as well. If you are not regimental, you can use a finger or two to move aside your undergarment of choice as you lift. Then when done, let go, with a slight outward motion from the fingers to keep the apron from getting hung up.

    Well put!

    My thoughts exactly!

    Really, this is a problem? I learned to pee a long time ago, and it didnt take much to figure out how to adapt it to the kilt.

    I have never peed on my kilt, had it fall in a urinal, had anyone else ever pee on it, been hit on by a gay man (in a bathroom), been mistaken for a women, exposed more bits than were intended, nor any of the other problems people tend to worry about.

    I doubt many others have ever experienced most, if any of those problems either.

    At the root of it the kilt is a practical, functional garment. Think of what method seems the easiest to you, and thats probably it. No bells, no whistles, just a few yards of pleated cloth wrapped around your waist. Lift it up, pull it to the side, hike it up over your hips (in a stall) or take it off (in a stall). The kilt will work with you.
    Lots of drunk Scots have gone to the bathroom in it, and we dont see too many yellow tartans...

    Great posts guys! I figured as much, but hey I'm still new to this!

    Code Warrior, that's my technique at home, I'll probably keep that when going out. It just seems the quickest way to get down to business.

    I perosnally use whatever is more convenient at the moment. Now , since co one else has mentioned it, urinials take a little practice because there can be a splash back factor not usually noticed in trowsers.

    Gonna go with "stall" on this one...

    ...when I was a wee lad (no pun intended), we were so poor that we couldn't afford a urinal so we all had to pee in the toilet...old habits are hard to break.

    Best
