Physicists have found a way to avoid splashback when urinating.

The Brigham Young University team used high-speed cameras in a 'Splash Lab' to "present the splash dynamics of a simulated human male urine stream" in order to put an end to harsh and repeated criticisms from their family members, News.com.au reported.

The physicists, who will present their research at an American Physical Society meeting, found that a "narrow angle of attack" was the best way to avoid a splash back.

They also found that detergents on toilet bowls can also increase splash by reducing the surface tension of the water and have recommend standing slightly to one side, and aiming downwards at a low angle of impact.
