AVOID INFECTION

Get your clothes and underwear out of the way. Not only are wet clothes uncomfortable, but staying wet can lead to infections. Once you have gotten your skirt, dress, shorts, or pants out of the way, pull your underwear down until it is half-way down your thighs.
If you are wearing a skirt or a dress, pull it up by the hem until it is at waist level. If the dress or skirt is full, with a lot of fabric, bunch everything up in front of you. There should be no fabric hanging behind you.
If you are wearing shorts or pants, unbutton and unzip them first. Then, pull them half-way down your thighs. Do not let them go past your knees, or they may get wet. It may also be a good idea to roll up the cuffs of long pants.

Choose a soft ground, rather than a hard ground. Soft surfaces, like grass and pine needles, absorb fluids more readily than hard surfaces. This will help reduce backsplash.

Keep privacy in mind. You may not mind if someone sees you while you go, but other people could be offended. Try to find a bush, large tree, or a boulder that you can stand behind. Avoid trekking into a large bush; plants often house insects and spiders.

Avoid slopes, if you can. If you do find yourself on a slope, turn so that you are facing downhill. This way, your urine will drain away from you, and not back towards you.
