Sorry, but I don't know a polite way to ask this. How do you urinate while on a squat toilet without peeing all over your pants?

Found the answer to my own question: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toilets_in_Japan#Squat_toilet

Turns out, you only pull your pants down to your knees, so the area between your feet is unobstructed for peeing.

You've ideally got two independent flows occurring. Aim them in the same place... preferably not in your pants.

This i found to be the biggest drawback of squat toilets . When you pee from standing position you pee all over the steps .

Take your pants off?

You have to take your pants off, or you will poop right in them ;)
