Thanks goes to sunah of my Beloved Prophet Muhammad(SAW) According to bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-24820279 Techniques to reduce splashes Getting as close as possible - a smooth unbroken stream is better than droplets Angling the stream - aiming sideways or downwards instead of straight at the toilet water/wall Placing toilet tissue in the bowl to soften impact Hydrophobic coatings for toilets Being a sitzpinkler - sitting down instead of standing His advice? The closer you are, the better. If you can get stream impact with the porcelain, its a lot less chaotic. Of course, in a domestic bathroom, distance from the toilet is governed chiefly by one variable: to stand or sit. People are always arguing over which is better. Because when you sit close, youre also closer to getting wet, said Prof Truscott. In Germany there is a derogatory term sitzpinkler for a man who sits down to pee. It means hes kind of a wuss. So we wanted to look at whether sitting down is really effective. What are the splash differences? To compare the two positions, the scientists gave rulers to their friends and sent them into the toilet. It turns out you are five times as far away when you stand up - and thats a pretty significant difference in impact velocity for those droplets of urine, said Mr Hurd. Impact with the toilet water is captured in a video by the team. You can see the droplets create a large cavity in the water, which then collapses, causing even greater splashback. The amount of splash is considerable, Mr Hurd explained. It seems that sitting down is the best sure-fire way to avoid unwanted splashing in a traditional toilet.
