Elissa,

The article references that those with diseases spreadable through urine shouldn’t do this. Also, whether true or not, shower wee-ing has long been a folk remedy to stop athlete’s foot, so I personally give a squirt whenever in a communal shower for fungal prophylaxis. Sorry to those who are grossed out, but it’s not at if it’s the last thing I do before getting out.

Wait only 1157 gallons per year? is this a typo? Even the really low flush toilets are over a gallon each where I live… So only 1000 people flush toilets in brazil?

Uh, I’m Brazilian and I didn’t know that. My cat seems to be aware though, has been a while, even though she didn’t grasp that the “while showering” part, and just does that anytime she feels like. I wish I could train her to use the toilet. :-/

I’ve heard ir read somewhere that most of the domestic conservation practices are somewhat futile, because the rice production, or maybe agriculture in general, often uses somewhat obsolete irrigation techniques that are not very good regarding optimization of water usage, but may be (a reasonable supposition) cheaper in the end anyway.

Not that I waste water anyway. I simply can’t understand how someone is capable of brushing his or her teeth with the faucet open the entire time, it’s insane.

‘Everyone Pees in the Shower’ is one of the most popular songs performed by the Stanford Fleet Street Singers, the a cappella group with whom I perform. Dude, I had no idea the song could cause a revolution in another country.

Check out this epic melody:

I always pee on the lawn as the nitrogen is an excellent fertilizer.

I suggest councils should go around putting up signs saying ‘Please piss on the grass.’

I’m not convinced that leaving the hot shower water running while I evacuate my bladder is going to be a win over flushing my low-flow toilet. Particularly if I close the lid and leave it ’til next time.

Composting toilets are a great idea where possible, as are toilets that reuse household grey water. Part of the problem is that we fill our toilets with potable water, into which we then plop excrement.

Instead of peeing in the shower how about reducing your number of flushes by not using the toilet as a trash can. Save 1.5 to 3 gallons of water each time you place sanitary products and applicators, condoms, dental floss, personal wipes, Q-tips, etc. in the trash instead of flushing. Save trees by not using wads of toilet paper to enclose these items, but use biodegradable, personal-size disposal bags to keep the bathroom sanitary.

Have you Idiot Liberals lost your minds? First of all there is no global warming. In fact it even snowed in africa last year which hasn’t happened in a long time in some parts of it which means there’s actually a global cooling. Next, im not going to pee in the shower to save water when its disgusting and second of all there is plenty of water. It covers over 75% of the earth you Idiots and that water can be purified to drink or bathe plus the rains replenish water anyways its an ecological natural replenishing system so its not going to run out you morons. Lastly you need to stop listening to your crazy liberal teachers who believe more about saving chickens and polar bears than they do about killing your own baby in an abortion. That should tell you they have everything backwards and should be called regressive instead of progressive. Please stop drinking the coolaid people and be normal you freaks.

Like Crystal said, “If its yellow, let it mellow, if its brown flush it down.”

If these people knew how long MY showers are, they wouldn’t bother asking!

Honestly, when people whine about conserving a single flush of water from a families home, I just want to shove a nail in my foot. ONE GOLF COURSE in Palm Springs uses more water IN ONE NIGHT than a family of 4 in a WHOLE YEAR. One… night. ONE.

Businesses are where the waste happens enmass. Until they clean up their act, I think I’ll use the toilet like a normal person. I already stopped watering my yard. Doesn’t do any good in Southern California anyway.

It looks like shadow…err shridhara… is a corporate stooge. The summer of 2010 was the hottest on record.

The earth may be covered in water but we don’t use it directly (it needs to be processed), and it is not always available where it is needed. Do you tell Africans that they should not complain about water shortages because the oceans are full of it?

Keep drinking that Kool Aid of yours…

LOL Things like this are the reason I have made my site! So far only 255 people have voted and 88% of them pee in the shower.

Using
low-flush toilets is a better alternative to conserve water rather than peeing
in the shower. Also, avoid throwing items into the toilet such as trash since
it can waste water by five to seven gallons of water.
