It all gets washed away anyway and you can clean yourself straight after Confused how come some people see this on a par apparently with dirtiness Kim+Aggie would faint at?

I do sometimes, but I crouch - at beginning of shower with the shower on - so the wee goes straight into the plughole and is washed away at the same time

It's piss not a massive poo , some people are so over the top.

You can safely drink Wee you know

foxyliz26 · 23/05/2018 23:59

Having represented a number of women for soliciting in court, you would' be surprised how much they can get for piddling on their male clients !

that puts a whole new spin on taking the piss ! ha ha

This thread is making me need a wee, off to the shower I go!

Celticrose · 24/05/2018 00:13

Yes need to stop reading and go for a wee Grin

HappenedForAReisling · 24/05/2018 01:33

the idea of numerous guests in hotels doing it before I get it makes me feel ill

And if you think guests haven't turned the bedside lamps on or off with hands that have been fondling their own (or someone else's) genitals then you're living in a fantasy land.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 24/05/2018 07:59

I don't believe anyone who says they don't do it

Oh I believe that there are people that don't do it (germophobes etc) however I cannot believe the people who say the thought has never crossed their mind and that it's never occurred to them.

BrownTurkey · 24/05/2018 08:24

The shower at the pool stank of wee yesterday.

GladAllOver · 24/05/2018 08:25

Having represented a number of women for soliciting in court
Sorry but I had to :) at that.
Didn't know that soliciting in court was a thing!

ciderhouserules · 24/05/2018 09:17

After my (3) Caesarians I was told it was easier to wee in the shower, rather than bending down and straightening up. I couldn't bend or straighten up anyway, so yes, I did it. And still do.

FluctuatNecMergitur · 24/05/2018 11:49

I always take my own pressure washer and full hazmat suit for the shower when I'm staying at a hotel or visiting friends. Anything less is just gross.

user1510568216 · 24/05/2018 12:18

I can't fathom how you get splashback. You must be pissing like a horse or a power washer. It's impossible not to pee in the shower. It just happens. Doing it while lying in the bath is a bit grim though unless you have a quick shower after your bath. Which I suppose defeats the purpose. I'm overthinking this now Smile.

pigmcpigface · 24/05/2018 12:22

Shock at this thread. I never pee in the shower. I do a wee just beforehand in the loo!!

Weeing in the swimming pool is absolutely rank!

BlueSapp · 24/05/2018 12:24

YABVVVU yuck!!!

bringincrazyback · 24/05/2018 12:27

Although urine is technically sterile, the thought of it is just gross IMHO.

MrsDilber · 24/05/2018 12:29

No problem with peeing in a shower but those of you peeing in the garden or horse she'd - I'd absolutely end up peeing down my leg or on my jeans, 100%

odig · 24/05/2018 12:48

The poster who said that wee isn't lumpy must have read the thread where the OP went into the bathroom and caught her partner using his foot to wiggle something "lumpy" down the plughole.

Now that is disgusting.

Lockheart · 24/05/2018 13:39

If you think urine in the shower is gross you’d have hate to have seen the (slightly lumpy) bloodbath around my feet yesterday morning - second day of periods is always pretty dramatic.

I don’t think blood is any more gross than urine. My shower doesn’t smell of blood either!

Mousefunky · 24/05/2018 13:41

I do it too. I think it’s more hygienic than getting out all clean and immediately doing a piss.

GummyGoddess · 24/05/2018 14:49

So I assume the people who think it's revolting also wouldn't empty their mooncup while in the shower? Grin

pigmcpigface · 24/05/2018 14:59

I clean my bath religiously, every day. And I live in a really soft water area where limescale is not an issue. There is still sometimes a slight build-up of soap on the side of the bath, in a spot I've missed. You can't see it- you can only feel that the bath isn't 100% smooth. I am absolutely certain bits of wee would get stuck to that if I peed in the bath. Envy

KittenBeast · 24/05/2018 15:01

I had a piss in the sea last week. I should be shot.

ciderhouserules · 24/05/2018 15:44

I am absolutely certain bits of wee would get stuck to that if I peed in the bath - Bits of wee? Bits of wee? The liquid, you mean - that is being diluted by the shower of water coming down into the exact same spot?

Wee just trickles down the leg, and down the drain. It doesn't gush, or splash, or spray, - and how would it attach itself to the wall of the bath? And even if it did, in a minute, dilute droplet, how badly would it smell? I suspect you are a gf, or a complete clean freak - who cleans the bath every day? Why? That is not normal. Being so afraid of a drop of urine is not normal.

How often do you do your skirting boards? Hmm

Claire90ftm · 24/05/2018 17:21

Was potty training all in vain? I mean you're an adult for goodness sake. Urinate in the toilet, where you're supposed to. I think urinating in the shower is plain nasty. You know how to use a toilet properly so there's no excuse. What if it gets splashed on to flannels or sponges? Or, as others have said, ends up staying on the walls? Eugh!

pigmcpigface · 24/05/2018 17:25

ciderhouse - I'm not a total cleanfreak! I may possibly be slightly more clean than average, but I'm definitely not the cleanest person I know. Baths need cleaning every day, though! Otherwise you get soap building up. You can tell if you get into a bath and it's not clean because it's gritty against your skin, which is completely horrible. The idea of sitting in pee-infused soap scum is Envy

I have never weed down my leg either. Surely it falls vertically? Confused Which means splatter?
