We joke about it with our girlfriends, we half-heartedly admit it, sometimes we even claim it as a small "eco-friendly" gesture. Yet, peeing in the shower might have more drawbacks than we think. Hygiene, plumbing, self-image… what if we took a closer look at this seemingly harmless habit that deserves a little more attention?
Hygiene: Is this shower really that clean?
Let's be honest: the shower is our little haven of cleanliness. We soap ourselves up, relax, and recharge. So, is peeing in it really compatible with this quest for freshness? Not quite. While urine is sterile when it leaves the body, as soon as it comes into contact with air and surfaces, it becomes an ideal breeding ground for bacteria and fungi. Hello, little germs in an already humid environment!
And what if you have a small cut or skin irritation? This can make it easier for these unwanted microorganisms to enter. In short, not great for skin health…
