It's not openly talked about––but that doesn't mean it's not common.
Short answer to all of them: It’s fine to pee in the shower. That’s according to, MD, PUR Clinic urologist and Assistant Professor at UCF College of Medicine in Florida, who knows more about urine than most people.
However, if you do decide to pee in the shower, it’s best to do it in your own shower and not a public one—which, let’s face it, is pretty gross. “Generally speaking, urine is sterile since it has no 'living' organisms,” Dr. Brahmbhatt tells. “But this isn’t always the case, since someone could have a urinary tract infection. Also, the urine could pick up some bugs from the end of the urethra as it exits.”Since we’re already talking about pee, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty.
The fact that urine is basically just water with some added salts means it’s highly unlikely to do any damage to your shower tray or drain, if that’s a concern. “If you think about it, urine is probably ‘cleaner’ than what you wash off your skin during a shower in the morning or after a gym workout,” says Dr. Brahmbhatt. “It’s probably no different than the water coming from the faucet when it comes to its effect on your physical surroundings.
If you’re still grossed out by the thought of accidentally peeing on your feet, well, at least you’re in the right place for a rapid wash. And if you have a cut or other wound on your foot? “It’s probably not a big deal,” says Dr. Brahmbhatt. “There are people that pitch using urine as an antiseptic; i.e. when you have an open wound, you can pee on it to help avoid infection. But the science behind this theory isn’t particularly strong.
