Today we are going to tell you a secret, that you will never be concerned about toilet paper. Peeing in the Shower. Weird, right? But it’s true. I pee in the shower and I guess you should too if you don’t.
One more thing I want to tell you, during Covid-19 I was not concerned about stockpiling toilet papers when everyone was reacting to the early days of the pandemic. Because I knew this secret.
Do not think you are alone, above 60 % of American people pee while they are in the shower. Some of the famous stars have revealed this secret.
Peeing in the Shower Saves Water
Do you know that you can save water if you start peeing in the shower? Let me tell you some figures. Flushing the toilets can use up to 7 gallons of water on average and if your toilet is old, it may use even more. Each day we consume 60 gallons of water for an average peeing time of 20 seconds. Weir facts I know.
How much water is released if the shower is opened for 1 minute? 2-3 gallons. That’s a huge number. I am sorry for reminding you of your school day mathematics. So, practically, you will be using 0.8 gallons of water, if you pee in the shower. You will see the difference in your water bills at the end of the month.
I am asking of you to become completely a shower tinkler. That not practical and of course no one can be. And you also do not need to shower every time when you need to pee or extend the shower time for peeing. What I am saying is, you can be multitasking when there is an opportunity.
Experts suggest that you should be peeing at the first stages of the shower, or before washing your head. This is a passive cleaning process or technique. Because while showering, the soap and running water can clean you up, without having to do much else.
It is recommended to rinse the shower floor thoroughly afterwards. Hot water can create moisture and yeast can grow with other bacteria. So, rinse the floor with hot water once done with showering.

Talking about the sterility, as the urine passes out through your urethra it loses all its power. Good to know, urine is mainly water, with some other constituents like electrolytes, urea, and other wastes. Thinking about infection, urine doesn’t let any infection, but does have some bacteria in it, say’s Gupta.
