To wee in the shower?

[AngeloMysterioso]

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 honestly can’t see why anyone wouldn’t. Wee is sterile anyway when it leaves your body; and it goes straight down the plug hole. So weird those people who think it’s disgusting! It’s not the same as weeing in the swimming pool (which is disgusting)

she's going to have fun, isn't she?

Pipe down and just scroll past if you don't like it

I wee in the shower virtually everyday, when ex lived here we showered together most mornings and still did a wee in the shower (as did he).

How will she cope with the toilet situation at glasto, or people weeing in cups and throwing it in the crowd?

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

WTAF?

misses point of thread entirely

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

I’ve never seen one of these threads in like 2 years on MN.

It’s totally fine to pee in the shower imo, doesn’t bother me at all.

How will she cope with the toilet situation at glasto, or people weeing in cups and throwing it in the crowd?

This neatly encapsulates the primary reason I have no desire to ever go to Glastonbury

What a very narrow view of the world

Can we stop with the "Wee is sterile" nonsense please? Wee is not sterile! A simple google search will provide you with the necessary research papers to prove that urine is not actually sterile.

However! I think peeing in the shower is fine. It goes right down the drain and you're getting clean in there anyway. Just make sure you wash your shower on a regular basis and what's the damage?

Oh Damn I think you are being too pedantic. Urine is essentially sterile. If you take urine from a healthy persons bladder and sent it to a normal lab nothing will grow in the culture.

Yes scientist have worked very hard and found some urine commensals but in normal life and even for the medical community urine is considered sterile.

I'm not being pedantic at all Lucked. Spreading misinformation that it's sterile could lead to a ton of teenagers doing really stupid shit with their pee and potentially getting seriously ill. Science is ever evolving and it's very important to correct our knowledge as we can. Urine is not sterile.

her horror when she experiences the long drops for the first time will be heard around the world...
But but long drops are soooo the better option than frigging typical portaloos. I'd poo in a long drop over a protaloo any day

I'd poo in a long drop over a protaloo any day Same! Long drop toilets are actually pretty okay!

That just sounds like natural selection.

I've never been to Glastonbury, why is it dirty? I thought it was just muddy?

I find the idea of brushing your teeth under a warm or hot shower utterly vom.

Weeing is fine .

There have been a few other threads about it before, but I don't see the issue.

The only reason I remember is because I learned the term "waffle stomping" which (quite rightly), unlike a quick wee in the shower was a definite no, no...

Glasto isn’t so bad for wee in cups and so as say, Leeds.

The compost loos feel positively luxurious compared with the long drops!

That just sounds like natural selection Can't argue with that!

I wee on my feet in the shower to keep fungal infection under control. I find treatments on their own do bugger all but if I see on them for a few days then use the treatment it works much better. It all washes away.

DH blowing his nose in the shower then not checking to rinse it off the tiles though is

This EXACT conversation was had on one of the morning chat shows last week (can't remember which one - I saw it on YouTube).

The wording was more or less exactly the same from the person who thought it was gross.
Are you sure you actually had this conversation?

Anyway, they did a poll and about 70% of people said they do pee in the shower.

'pop up pirate'?
'waffle stomping'?

Glasto isn’t so bad for wee in cups and so as say, Leeds guess which one I'm going to😂😂

Stripy you don't want to know, trust me...I'm traumatised by that thread I tell you!!

Better that than peeing up against the wheel of someone else’s car, as I witnessed a woman doing this weekend at a concert.

I've never seen a thread like this either, other poster just being unnecessarily rude.

I agree with you! Although I do brush my teeth in the shower too.
