   Otherwise you can use a seat-liner or tear several strips of toilet paper, lay them on the toilet seat, and sit.
   
   Make sure you have pulled down your pants and underwear or lifted your dress or skirt before sitting down.
   
   Squeeze the muscles around your urethra (the opening through which urine exits your body).
