#1 Gross Behaviors
Just about everyone is guilty of doing something gross every now and then. There are some people who bite their nails and then spit them in the air. There are some people who will drink milk out of a shared carton or eat shared peanut butter right out of the jar using their fingers. In more extreme cases, people are known to leave hair in the drain, pee on the toilet seat, and leave dirty tissues all over the tabletops and counters. Each of these things is pretty gross.
#2 Peeing In The Shower
Compared to each of the gross behaviors mentioned, peeing in the shower is probably one of the grossest. Most people who pee in the shower on a regular basis will never admit it. It is a gross behavior that even the bluntest person won’t want people to know. Peeing in the shower is even worse when there are other people who use the shower. What you may not know is that peeing in the shower is not as bad as you think. If you want to know what happens when you urinate in the shower, read on. You just might be surprised.
#3 Are There Benefits Of Peeing In the Shower?
Peeing in the shower is not something that should be encouraged. This is especially true if you share the shower with other members of your family. If you have gotten into the habit of peeing in the shower regardless of who is also using it, don’t feel too guilty There are actual facts to prove that there are actually some benefits to peeing in the shower.
#4 Peeing In the Shower Can Be More Hygienic
This may sound like nonsense, however, peeing in the shower is more hygienic than you might think. This is especially true for women. After a woman pees, she uses toilet paper. While this is a great way to stay clean and dry, the shower is actually the best place to get clean. If you are a woman and you pee in the shower, it is the most hygienic way to get clean after.
#5 Saves Water
Each time you pee, you need to flush the toilet. It is the only way to keep the toilet clean and sanitary for each person who uses the toilet. Most standard toilets use 1.5 gallons of water each time it is flushed. If you are getting in the shower and you have to pee, you can actually save water by waiting until you get into the shower to pee. Since you are going to be in the shower anyway with the water running, you can kill two birds with one stone if you pee in the shower.
#6 Skin Care
Most people underestimate the power of their pee. You look at pee as something gross. Going pee often can also be inconvenient. What you may not know is the urine has healing properties. If you have a rash or eczema, your urine can actually help. It might sound gross but if you pee on yourself while you are in the shower, it can actually save you a trip to the dermatologist. Also, there are things in your urine that you cannot buy in the store.
#7 Cleaner Bathroom
This may sound like a contradiction, however, if you pee in the shower, you can actually keep your bathroom cleaner. This is especially true for men who have an issue with aiming when they pee. Rather than finding pee on the toilet seat and the floor around the toilet, you can pee in the shower. It will stay contained within the shower and it will wash down the drain with the water.
#8 Practice Makes Perfect
If you are a man and you have an issue with your aim when you pee in the toilet, peeing in the shower can help. When you pee, you can aim directly at the drain, improving your ability to get the pee into the toilet when you pee.
#9 Saves Money
As mentioned earlier, peeing in the shower can save water because you won’t need to flush. Not only is this great for the environment, it is also great for your bank account. When you flush less, you will owe less money each month on your water bill. Since most people are always looking to save a few dollars, peeing in the shower is a great option.
#10 Disinfectant
Most people find out that a family member peed in the shower and they want to disinfect it as soon as possible. What these people don’t know is that pee is its own disinfectant. If you were to pee on an open wound, which you probably wouldn’t want to do, the pee will sterilize the cut. It can also sterilize the shower after you pee in it. While it may sound disgusting, peeing in the shower can actually keep it clean.
#11 Prevent the Growth of Fungus
Fungus is the worst and it can easily grow in the shower. If you pee while you are in the shower, it can kill any fungus that is growing. Urine contains both uric acid and ammonia which can keep a fungus problem from becoming worse.
#12 An Effective Way To Do Kegel Exercises
Most women know that if they want to keep their muscles down there tight, they should do Kegel exercises. A great way to do this is to squat in the shower and pee. Each time you stop midstream, it will strengthen your muscles.
#13 Be a Rebel
If you always do the right thing and it drives you crazy, you can break a rule each morning without anyone knowing but you. If you pee in the shower, you will feel a bit rebellious so that you can perform as a perfect, upstanding citizen at all other times of the day.
#14 If You Ran Out of Hot Water
If you are the third person in line to shower, there is a good chance that you will run out of hot water before you have finished showering. Fortunately, pee is warm. If you pee in the shower, you will get a little bit of warmth while you hurry to finish your shower.
