Something you can do is look into the water pressure of the faucet, if you can regulate the faucet pressure and ease it up a bit then the direct hit will be less intense and less likely to splash. Good luck!
I agree with Hillela! Slowly turn the shut off to reduce the flow till the water doesn't splash.
the faucets now days have a screen in them so it aerates the water making it comes out softer
What a great opportunity for that sunken country sink you've been dreaming about! Not an option? Your utility company probably offers a program for free where they will come out and install a washer that allows less water to pour per minute, thus saving energy and why it is free. However, be prepared, less water pressure equals less water and it can be irritating if you are used to a more heavy water flow. Also, how about considering a faucet that doubles as a sprayer? I find sprayers more convenient in targeting the areas I intend to get wet.
It's called a flow restrictor. I think my husband bought one at our local Home Depot. Get the kind that just screws onto the end of your faucet -- easy peasy!
Buy a rubber tap extender that will slow down the flow and you will be able to direct it!
Tighten down the flow underneath the sink and try it to change the amount of the splash back. Another idea is a deeper sink or more inexpensively is a pressure regulator screwed onto the faucet head.
One approach is to adjust the water flow to a lower pressure to reduce splashing. Additionally, using a sink strainer or splash guard can help contain the water and prevent it from splashing back.
Sounds like you have a lot of strong water pressure. You could try another faucet, they do make low flow ones, or you could try a restrictor that you add on to the existing faucet. If all else fails, you could replace the sink.
