To think that most people pee in the pool, on holiday? Do you?

[Blondiebeachbabe]

Just back from a hot holiday. Hotel had a lovely big pool, with a swim up bar serving all manner of cocktails, wine, beer etc. People would be in the pool for hours drinking, chatting etc. Surely everyone is actually peeing in the pool? And do you?

The idea of a swim nappy is it doesn't absorb any type of water - wee or pool water. Otherwise they'd just go in and pretty soon have a massive heavy nappy on! Not sure what swim nappies you are using if they absorb water? And if they do there is no difference to a normal nappy.

No, I haven’t. 😗

Oh you mean like a plastic type nappy?

Most swim nappies I’ve seen are basically normal nappies which pictures of fish on them 😂

No, I think you are in the dirty minority.

The Op didn't say she did it btw.

✅ Sea
❌ Pool

Yup. I think that would stop the problem.

It's not just pee though, it's deodorant and shower gel etc from people that don't shower before they use the pool.

@OhmygodDont you can't have seen an actual swim nappy. A swim nappy doesn't ballon up like a normal nappy does.

No!!!

When you think about it there’s lots of stuff in public pools.

poo particles
breast milk
wee
bits of sick
sweat
skin cells
sperm
vaginal discharge
hair
toe jam
spit
ear wax
snot
blood

I’m sure I’m missing some without stuff like sun cream, perfume, make up, medical lotions and potions.

Why on earth don't nurses go to wee? I would have thought it impossible not to wee for 12 hours

We just used to buy swim nappies at the pool disposal swim nappies they where sold as 🤷🏻‍♀️ my youngest is 8 so it’s been a while.

Wtf are all these people who think the pool is gross but it's just fine to do it in the sea. You're just as bad.
And 'well, the fish do it!' does not make it justified.

The op said she doesn't do that.

@OhmygodDont I've never seen swim nappies been sold by the pool on any of my holidays. Something essential as a swim nappy you would think you would take them from home?

Sea wee = yes. Especially in a wetsuit; keeps you cozy.

Pool = ewww no. Don't assume people are peeing in the pool, just because they are in for a while. I have excellent bladder control!

Not plastic, no.

I mean maybe they've changed (my youngest is 12) but they were like a nappy material but without the absorbing parts. So they stay on properly as don't swell up and so can catch a poo.

You could also get washable neoprene ones.

Really hoping I can wipe this from my mind before my holiday.

Yes and again I could buy a whole pack in Tesco or Asda etc like £6 back then. But if we ran out buy extras at the pool.

You're surrounded by urine from babies and toddlers in a pool, swim nappies don't hold it. Pretty sure many older kids pee in a pool too. That's enough, I don't pee in a pool myself!

What click baity bot generated esque message 😂

I’d be prepared to believe that more people than really ought to wee in the sea, but isn’t that because the loos are miles away, if there are any. Plus they sometimes charge a fee to pee and people don’t have any change.

The pool is a whole other set up and perceptions and expectations completely different

You're making me think of that Churchill speech, @OhmygodDont:

"I have nothing to offer except blood, sweat, tears, poo particles, breast milk, wee, bits of sick, skin cells, sperm, vaginal discharge, ..."

Perhaps he moonlighted as a holiday rep.

We don't have time! We have iron clad bladders! 😂 (I do sometimes get to wee, just not every shift!)

Good god. Is this for real?
