To think peeing in the shower is fine?

Dh thinks it's disgusting. I think it's fine.

The warm water makes me need a wee and I'm not going to get out, soak the floor, dry off and all that.

It's environmentally friendly as less toilet flushing

The water washes the wee away and it's only wee

I thought everyone did it occasionally.

I realised both my sons were weeing in the shower when I cleaned the bathrooom and the shower curtain stank of wee, it was horrible. The whole room didn't noticeably smell but when I got near to the curtain it was really obvious. So for that reason, I wouldn't encourage it! You don't have to flush the loo every time you do a wee.....

I'm not sure on the should/shouldn't with a tampon but I don't.

ForalltheSaints · 17/08/2018 20:37

Not acceptable. I'm with the OPs DH.

Dermymc · 17/08/2018 20:37

I empty my mooncup in the shower.

PeppermintPasty · 17/08/2018 20:37

Not this question again?! Of COURSE it's ok, totally weird to object to it.

SheGotBetteDavisEyes · 17/08/2018 20:38

I am with your DH. Would defecate in the shower as well if you felt the need and though you could wash it down the drain? Or vomit?

First comment. It's just a race these days, isn't it?

Yes. It is EXACTLY the same.

StarfishSandwich · 17/08/2018 20:38

Shower pissing is fine. People are ridiculous Confused

NoFuckingRoomOnMyBroom · 17/08/2018 20:38

Ahhh now the pissing in the shower isn't the problem pink , the fucking shower curtain is-will not entertain those vile things...

AmIRightOrAMeringue · 17/08/2018 20:38

I thought wee was sterile when it's fresh anyway!?

AdultHumanFemale · 17/08/2018 20:40

You have the people of Brazil on your side. A national campaign to save water was launched, and this is one of the recommended measures.
Of course it's fine.

Fleurdalys · 17/08/2018 20:42

Cannot believe the non pissers!
My shower, my piss.
Of course it's fine.
Hot water, soap and shower gel
Clean as a whistle.

Hushnownobodycares · 17/08/2018 20:42

However long are you taking in the shower that you have to give in to an uncontrollable urge to piss down the plughole? Confused

Just go before you get in. Taking a slash in the shower tray is uncivilised rank.

Sallystyle · 17/08/2018 20:44

It is fine, and my shower is above my bath, so I am peeing in the bath!

BlueberryPud · 17/08/2018 20:44

It literally washes directly down the plug and along into the same waste pipe as it would from the toilet. It doesn’t end up in the kitchen tap or anything!

I've seen threads about peeing in the shower before. Some posters think it's dirty because it splashes up the side of the cubicle!

Unless you're a horse or a fire hydrant, this doesn't happen. It just disappears down the plughole alongside several dozen litres of water.

Badcat666 · 17/08/2018 20:44

Oh! As well as washing off poo particles in the shower and having the odd tinkle I have puked in the bath as the loo is right next to it when we got hit by Nora-virus.

More uncouth than disgusting but each to their own.

DN4GeekinDerby · 17/08/2018 20:48

Not long ago I had a bad flare-up and needed my spouse to help me in and out of the shower so he would wait in the bathroom while I washed up. I recall getting really awkward one day as, like the OP says, the warm water made me suddenly need to pee. I told him and he was basically "You're in the shower..."

Later, we discussed that 90%+ of my awkwardness was because he was standing outside the shower curtain and he reminded me of all the other body fluids he deals with at home & work. So, in our house, on the gross scale, it's on the lower side. Not a habit, as others said, but when the need arises it does seem less of a faff and just as easy to clean up as anything else in the bathroom. I imagine the stories of guys doing it and it reeking has to do with lack of clean up.

JuliaRobbers · 17/08/2018 20:49

Can't believe this is even an issue at all. Of course it's totally fine (and strangely pleasurable) to pee while standing in a warm shower. Why would it NOT be ok?! Hmm

Fleurdalys · 17/08/2018 20:49

Shower curtains however are another matter.
Just no.
Whatever they are made of.

PinguDance · 17/08/2018 20:49

Lol it’s fine! I guess maybe men have more potential to aim it at the shower curtain? Kind of hard for women to wee all over the shower curtain unless you actually tried.

Confusicated · 17/08/2018 20:50

I ALWAYS see in the shower!

Sometimes, even when I am taking a shower

BlueberryPud · 17/08/2018 20:51

the fucking shower curtain is-will not entertain those vile things

Shower curtains stink and get filthy really quickly. Wouldn't have one.
You can fit a shower screen on almost any over-bath shower.

45redballoons · 17/08/2018 20:52

So if people stay at my house are they probably peeing in my shower ? 😳

sirlee66 · 17/08/2018 20:52

Wee in the shower, no probs.
Wee in the bath, absolutely not.
Wee in the sea, that's a god damn human right.

PinguDance · 17/08/2018 20:55

Crickey what are people doing with their shower curtains? Just leave them open so they dry off and they don’t smell or get mouldy. Then wash them every now and again.
