To wee in the shower?

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?

I wee in the shower if I need to go just before or during a shower. As you say it gets washed away anyway and I clean my whole body in the shower.

You'll get a split vote on this but I agree with you.

Except Re shewees. I'm a travel John girl for in the rent and squatting for in the loo

Oysterbabe · 26/06/2019 00:01

I think it's fine.

Member869894 · 26/06/2019 00:06

Doesn't everybody??

TrixieFranklin · 26/06/2019 00:06

Yep it's fine

WhiteLightTrainWreck · 26/06/2019 00:07

Is supposed to be good if you have any bacterial infection in your foot/feet like athletes foot or varuccas.

Also better for the environment and your water bill as you're not flushing the loo and running the shower at the same time.

KevinKeegansPerm · 26/06/2019 00:08

Oooh yippee. It's time for yet another do you piss in the shower or not thread. We've not had one for at least a month now.

Whoops75 · 26/06/2019 00:08

No problem with the concept
Feels weird to me so I don’t

AngeloMysterioso · 26/06/2019 00:10

Soz KevinKeegansPerm.

I’ve never seen one...

If she thinks weeing under running water that runs into the sewer is gross, is she going to be ok at Glastonbury?

Sparkledot · 26/06/2019 00:17

I've not seen another thread like this either. I'm a wee in the shower type of gal

KevinKeegansPerm · 26/06/2019 00:18

Don't worry @AngeloMysterioso
All those who miss this one will only have to wait a few weeks for the next one to come along.

AngeloMysterioso · 26/06/2019 00:20

Ha TheInebriati well that remains to be seen! She’s done a few of the more genteel festivals before now but this is her first time at Glasto, I suspect her horror when she experiences the long drops for the first time will be heard around the world...

I thought everyone weed in the shower!? All the points you made make sense.

Brushing teeth is odd though as the water in warm.

WeaselMcWeasel · 26/06/2019 00:22

I always pee in the shower 🤷I do spray it with antibac after and rinse it away but that's for my OH's benefit.

TheInebriati · 26/06/2019 00:22

Sooo you are going to do the decent thing and warn her not to fall in, right? Right?

steff13 · 26/06/2019 00:23

How long are people in the shower that they can't "hold it" until they're done?

Bufferingkisses · 26/06/2019 00:24

Concept is fine. Not for me. Now more importantly, my oh "clears" his nose in the shower.... Envy

AngeloMysterioso · 26/06/2019 00:26

Actually KevinKeegansPerm a quick AS suggests that the last time someone asked this question was just shy of a year ago.

If you find the topic so tiresome there are other threads available...

AngeloMysterioso · 26/06/2019 00:27

TheInebriati and to look out for blokes in the pit playing pop-up pirate Grin

Bufferingkisses yeah... that’s grim.

KevinKeegansPerm · 26/06/2019 00:32

If only you would have commenced a search first hey @AngeloMysterioso.

Or even a better AS.
Still, crack on if it makes you happy.

AngeloMysterioso · 26/06/2019 00:36

OMG KevinKeegansPerm what on earth is your problem?

If everyone did a search to see if their thread had been covered before then AIBU would be a barren wasteland...

It’s far more boring to read repeated “Oh, one of these threads agaaaaaaaaainn” comments than it is seeing the same sort of topic pop up once a year or so...

Gosh, @KevinKeegansPerm, what a grump! Of all the things to get your knickers in a knot about.

Peeing in the shower just makes sense. But how long are your friend's showers that she actually stops to get dry and then return to the shower post-wee?

TrixieFranklin · 26/06/2019 01:32

Alright @KevinKeegansPerm who pissed in your cornflakes Hmm

Barchester · 26/06/2019 01:51

Anyone who goes to Glastonbury is a lunatic.
