I've never used a FUD, but it seems like it would be easier to be discreet in a squatting position than an upright one. To use the device one still needs access to the area so the pants would have to be at least partly undone. If I can't make it to the next privy, I go off trail behind a tree, which serves the dual purpose of some cover and something to hold onto for stability. Other hikers are usually looking down the trail, not off to the sides, unless you're crashing through the underbrush!
I once went hiking in an area with waist-high grass, but no trees. The women in my group were able to crouch behind the tall grass and disappear. The men, who peed standing, were very exposed and embarrassed!
If it's a surface we would rather not make contact with, we kind of hover while holding onto something; for instance, port-a-potties usually have a door handle to grasp.
Thank you for your service as well as your helpful advice for those personal, awkward moments on and off the trail. Best wishes...... AX
Thank you! Glad it was helpful.

You go girl
If you have to pee and there’s an outhouse, would you stand and pee using the gogirl or just sit?
