Do you pee in the shower?

[werepossum]

Depends. If it's a baby shower, then yes. If it's a bridal shower, then also yes.

Hmm. I suppose it doesn't actually depend after all.

Technically it uses less water to use the toilet, because the time you are spending doing it in the shower, the water is flowing, as opposed to a single flush

You obviously didn't read the article.

Still, that 0.875 gallon of water that will escape the shower head in the 21 seconds it takes for the average person to pee is still less than the 1.6 gallons—more in older toilets—used to flush urine away.

Now, if you have a shower head >> 2.5 GPM, then you could use less water with a low-flow toilet, but I'm sure the article is just looking at what the average person is bound to have.

You should, science has spoken. :biggrin:

they are only looking at water usage which is ignoring a huge cost: energy usage

the water a toilet uses is cold while the water in a shower has been heated up, often quite a bit (especially in winter)

if you get your power from carbon, i'm not sure the shower is the most ecological or economical choice (unless you're just free spraying while continuing on with the rest of your shower)

All day. If I hear a shower running, I make a pit-stop, quickly make do with my business, and carry on with my day.

 

[pcgeek11]

Of course I do, just like everyone else. Even those liars that say they don't.

 

[Torn Mind]

Gisele Bundchen admits to doing it.

 

[Captante]

i am really having second thoughts about ATOT at the moment

We have second thoughts about you all the time!

 

[waggy]

guilty.

 

[rudder]

Pooping in the shower means you will use less toilet paper.

 

[BudAshes]

Never, not even once. You are all animals.

 

[Carson Dyle]

Only if there are dishes in the kitchen sink.

So since I'm on hydropower my shower peeing is green since its a renewable energy source.

Pee while you're washing your hair or your face or whatever. Unless you're too uncoordinated to let 'er go with no hands.

Speaking of energy and water conservation, I...:

-don't use my shower heater unless I'm sick
-keep the water off when soaping up my body or dishes
-don't boil drinking water as it is already safe off the tap
-only use my washing machine waste water to manually flush my toilet. Using clean water for this is frankly stupid.

Jesus, no thanks.

The real question is has anyone taken a crap while in the shower?

Accident or Intentional?

 

[purbeast0]

lol @ saying women peeing in the shower will save 1 roll of TP every 50 days. yeah, cause women use 1 square every time they wipe.

 

[edro]

Yes
You can aim down the drain, and its 99% water, and it gets rinsed away immediately...

Why wouldn't you? Because it's dirty?
I wonder how some people make it through life when they are scared of such simple things.

 

[Thebobo]

sure

Funny thing is, unless you are riddled with infections, urine is actually quite clean.


Also, if you're peeing in the shower, you may as well aim at your feet.
There is evidence the power of pee can helps with fungal infections, which means it could even prevent them from taking hold.

Of course I was curious and looked this up, only to find one recommendation that the best way to use pee to treat a fungal infection is from the inside out. D:

I'll leave it up to your imagination what that means....

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

Using less water isn't a question. It's a no-brainer. It's not a hard concept to go while getting clean. You guys can't multitask? You don't even have to friggen aim.

 

[cbrunny]

Is it okay to pee into the shower while other people are taking the shower?

What's prison like?

 

[cbrunny]

Pooping in the shower means you will use less toilet paper.

You can install a garbage disposal in there too. Save a ton of money on Drano as well.
