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?

I had explosive diarrhoea in the shower last week.

Now that was dirty.

squoosh · 09/08/2013 18:06

I just don't feel people are sharing enough. Stop being so coy ladies. Wink

I need to block this thread soon - or order in a big bottle of brain bleach.

limitedperiodonly · 09/08/2013 18:31

Has no one ever idly wondered how much wee a bursting bladder can hold?

I've never done this, because the only measuring jugs I have are for food items.

I've got a 7 pint stock pot, but honestly, I'd never do it. I'm just putting it out there for scientific or Guinness record purposes.

peanutbuttersarnies · 09/08/2013 18:36

I am amazed people think this is normal. I wouldnt consider it- the toilet is right there?

MrsKoala · 09/08/2013 18:47

Yes but peanut, why would you get out of the shower half way thru, soaking wet, have a wee, then get back in when you can just do it there with no fuss. And why would you waste a flush of water before you get in the shower when you can just do it at the same time. I consider it my gift to the planet. You can thank me later Grin

Limited - that was my point with the pint pot. I was desperate (hadn't weed for over 24 hours) and couldn't get up the stairs so thought 'i know i've got an old pint pot, that'll do' i remember saying to my friend, 'that'll be alright wont it, i mean, who wees more than a pint?!' and she agreed. But as the wee was flowing it was obvious we'd massively underestimated my bladder and i couldn't stop. I reckon i weed about 2.5 pints. It just kept coming!

People don't think it is normal, clearly by the number of people who do this it is normal.

Exactly mrskoala the human body is a fascinating thing. Though I wouldn't piss in my pudding bowls unless I had to. Wink

volestair but I've always wondered. I've heard 600ml. As I said, I wouldn't put it to the test but enquiring minds...

It's like lung capacity and free diving. Divers wee in their wet suits, though probably you don't need to do it in the four minutes or so it takes you to surface.

reelingintheyears · 09/08/2013 19:29

Piss isn't poison and no one's saying you should drink your piss, well, not that I've seen.

Jeez, just clean the shower after you as normal.

How the frig did the human race become so many when even fairly recent previous generations didn't always have bathrooms and only had a tin bath in front of the fire and shared the water between numerous children and parents!

elfycat · 09/08/2013 19:49

I haven't yet wee'd in my wetsuit though I know DH does. By the time I could have a wee it's too late in the dive to ensure a thorough rinse. The warm fluid helps keep you warm for longer Grin

I do wee in the shower, have done ever since I started getting cystitis from even mild soap products, but a small wee towards the end of the shower seems to be the fix and I'm sorry to all of you who thinks this is gross but I'm not going back to cranberry juice and antibiotics with a bonus thrush episode just to add to the misery for you.

I wipe the shower down after every use but that's more to keep the screen clear.

McAvity · 09/08/2013 20:27

Given how widespread shower peeing seems to be, and how dire the warnings of the hygienic anti-shower-pee people are, there must be literally thousands of MNers and their loved ones dying each week from fatal diseases contracted from shower pee.

tiggerpigger · 09/08/2013 20:57

I piss in the shower.

Im not proud of this, but I also once had to curl one out in the kitchen bin when I was cooking risotto and had to keep stirring it constantly. However, I stirred with one hand and wiped with the other, then washed it thoroughly so although not ideal I don't think it was that bad.

Solari · 09/08/2013 20:57

When I was growing up we used to run one bath (a week) and then the whole family would bathe in the same water, one after the other, starting with the eldest first.

Often by the time it got to the youngest it was almost black. Never occurred to me there could be urine in there too though! How to make a fairly bleak memory even bleaker! Grin

TiggyD · 09/08/2013 21:13

And before anyone tries it, you shouldn't shit in your fridge either.

limitedperiodonly · 09/08/2013 21:16

I'm intrigued and horrified tiggerpigger

Risotto only takes 30 minutes at the most even if you're using the most robust arborio. I know all the cook books tell you to stir constantly but really, I'd take a loo break and risk the texture.

What happened?

ZingWidge · 09/08/2013 21:17

voice of experience? Grin

ZingWidge · 09/08/2013 21:19

come to think of it shitting in the freezer is probably riskier!

(whole new meaning to ice cubes?)

CleverlyConcealed · 09/08/2013 21:19

Peeing standing up is a good way to fully empty your bladder. So bearing in mind I like to keep my loo floor dry, the shower is the way to go!

TiggyD · 09/08/2013 21:20

Don't piss in showers. Don't shit in fridge. Don't blow you noses on curtains. Don't vomit in fish tanks. It's basic etiquette.

McAvity · 09/08/2013 21:20

I don't think peeing in a wetsuit can really keep you warm. That heat was inside your body before.

UseHerName · 09/08/2013 21:27

limited i dry my cups on my -grubby dressing gown too

i've pissed.on neither

have peed in the shower but the smell of it rising up in the steam was enough to put me off for life Grin

UseHerName · 09/08/2013 21:33

pmsl laughing at this thread

who bokes in the bath¿¿ seriously¿¿ you can flush it away in the loo¡¡¡¡!!!! Shock

MrsKoala · 09/08/2013 21:36

Tiggerpigger - ewwww seriously i've found my line and that is it. Now i LOVE a risotto, but you only have to stir while on the heat, you could have taken off the heat, run to the loo (if you already had the turtles head it wouldn't have taken long), then got back and the risotto would have been fine.

UseHerName - if your wee smells you aren't hydrated enough. It should be pale gold and mainly odourless when it emerges.

MrsKoala · 09/08/2013 21:42

UseHerName - since having ds the force of throwing up also releases the other end too, so if i'm going to yog i do it in the bath while sit on the loo.

After i had the norovirus (6weeks after having DS and still struggling with continence) we had to have the cream carpets professionally cleaned. There really is nothing like the sweet surrender of crawling on all 4s to the bathroom, and upon realising with horror you aren't going to make it, you make the decision to just let go.
