to wee in the shower?

Have NC-d in case this isn't normal. Naice ham, gluezilla, yoni etc.

Do you wee in the shower? I never used to and would have thought it pretty disgusting. But since having DC things aren't as they used to be & now if I need to, I just go.

AIBU?

Always.

WandaDoff · 09/08/2013 00:10

I pee in the shower if I feel the need to, it just gets washed down the drain anyway.

I don't pee in the bath though, that would be minging.

soontobeslendergirl · 09/08/2013 00:13

Why don't you all just go to the toilet before you get in the shower - that's what us normal people do and I am rarely in the shower long enough to need again....and surely by that time it would be time to get out as a, you'll have run out of hot water and b, if you are like me you'll be getting light headed.

reelingintheyears · 09/08/2013 00:13

Yup.

Not up the walls or over the taps you know, just on the floor of the bath, then it all gets rinsed away.

Sometimes I even give it a squirt of bath/shower cleaner stuff. Grin

slendergirl - you've made a very valid point that I forgot in my rant.

So let me capitilise on your very valid point:

Peeing in the shower isn't only dirty, it's not even necessary!!

Not as a rule but I have done . I am the only one that uses my shower. My piss does not overly disgust me . I do aim for the plughole rather than the tiles.

kreecherlivesupstairs · 09/08/2013 00:39

I have sudden urges to pee. Our water doesn't run out and DH is happy to clean the shower.

bedhaven · 09/08/2013 01:29

Totally normal, saved yourself quite a few litres of flushing water so green too! so long as you don't leave DC's toys in the bath if over bath shower

Faezy · 09/08/2013 01:34

definitely feels better in the shower

ravenAK · 09/08/2013 01:38

I think it's fine. I vaguely assume dh & the dc also do so, tbh.

Dh or I clean the showers, but then, we also clean the toilets, & they won't have had lots of nice hot soapy water down them post wee-ing.

AHandfulOfDust · 09/08/2013 01:38

Of course.

I also piss in the bath.

TheYoniWayIsUp · 09/08/2013 01:44

I love weeing in the shower! Some of you are hilarious!!

mummymacbeth · 09/08/2013 01:47

Yuck, who knew such folk existed? Really, the toilet can't be that far from the shower, just go to the toilet surely.?

ihavenonameonhere · 09/08/2013 01:48

I love weeing in the shower too, it actually feels strangely good!

squoosh · 09/08/2013 02:13

Yep, prefer to save my first wee of the morning to expel it in the shower.

thecatneuterer · 09/08/2013 02:28

Some of my cats wee in the shower too. (In the shower tray that is, not while they're showering - that would be bizarre). I don't teach them to do it, but it certainly doesn't bother me. I just turn the shower on for a few seconds to wash it down.

MuswellHillDad · 09/08/2013 02:31

Am I being unreasonable to have pee'd laughing reading this thread? Loving it. Grin

FairPhyllis · 09/08/2013 02:58

Urine isn't sterile outside of the body btw - it is only sterile until it reaches the urethra.

I suppose blood frequently ends up in the shower but I still think weeing in the shower is grim - I had never heard of it until I had male housemates.

AHandfulOfDust · 09/08/2013 03:13

Surely it goes straight down the drain - sterile or not??

AHandfulOfDust · 09/08/2013 03:14

Grim is shitting & poking it down with your big toe.

Surely?

Poppanicolino · 09/08/2013 05:31

I do it! Even if I've just been to the loo I can't help it. There's just something about being in water.

It's actually a nightmare when I take DD swimming; I'll go before getting in the pool, then I'll need to hop out mid swim for another, then I'll be bursting for another while I'm getting dressed. No idea why Confused

daisychain01 · 09/08/2013 05:32

It is fine having a quick tinkle, if its at the start of the shower so there is plenty of time for the water to wash it away, especially if you are washing your hair anyway and the shampoo and conditioner goes down the plug hole. Cant see any problem at all with that.

And I belive there is a therapy originating in India using urine for curing things like chill blains.

Lets not beat ourselves up over something that is totally benign and much mor convenient that having to faff around getting out of the shower, if you suddenly get the urge, slop water everywhere and risk slipping over!
