First of all, I am not a pee troll, I promise. This is following on from a conversation I had earlier this evening.
Friend and I discussing what we’ve packed for Glastonbury, and I asked if she had bought herself a SheWee, as I’d suggested it a few weeks ago. She said she had but wasn’t sure if she was going to use it as she’d tried it a couple of times at home to practise and hardly anything came out. I said that had happened to me too and the best way to get used to it is by weeing in the shower as you use different muscles when you wee standing up.
She was horrified! Made all sorts of comments about it being gross and unhygienic, and said that if she needs to wee when she’s in the shower she gets out, dries off, goes to the loo and then gets back in the shower. I thought that was slightly bonkers as a) wee is sterile b) it all gets washed straight off you and down the drain anyway and c) you save time and water by not getting out, going to the loo and flushing. She brushes her teeth in the shower which I find far more bizarre!
I always thought weeing in the shower was a fairly common thing. Am I wrong?
