My pants are around my ankles. I simply lean the gun inward and it is out of sight.

Use the one at the end that is up against the wall on one side and you only have to worry about 1 side instead of 2.

Grab a hand towel or two on the way into the "throne room". Instant cover.

Take off the pants entirely, like George Costanza. The shirt for that matter too.

Then walk out into a party.

To the OP, many on here place the gun in or on the banana hammocks and sort of

Wait until you're at the Post Office or a honky tonk then you won't have a gun to worry about. :mrgreen:

Another idea would be to go before you left the house.

I haven't used a public restroom for #2 since the 90's....and that was only because it was an urgent situation. :???:

tips....
You need to practice more drawing/reholstering. If it takes you a few minutes to find the "sweet spot" then you haven't practiced enough to build muscle memory when it comes to drawing from your IWB holster.

To answer your original question......walk in the stall, look around and figure out your options for this particular stall, then pick the most desirable/least objectionable option and go with it.

I carry IWB and I always loop my boxers over my gun on the way down.
