I usually pee in the sink to conserve water. I always clean up properly after myself, and the toilet flush will always use way too much water to remove a tiny bit of urine. Do many people do this?
Why not just pee into a bucket. Dilute the pee 20 to 1 and use it to fertilize your plants. A great source of nitrogen for your garden.
Why don’t you just go in the shower drain. And what if there are dishes in the sink, or people over? Seems like a unwarranted process, just to save a miniscule amount of water.
Not normal. But as long as you are being hygienic, cleaning up after yourself properly, and have made sure that everyone in your household is aware of and is comfortable with it, then it's fine by me. I won't be doing it anytime soon though lol! Also, make sure you get a new sink before selling your home. Regardless of how cleanly you are in your practice, it's only fair to replace the sink at that point for the new homeowner.
Its not the most sanitary thing to do. If your worried about water waste, try investing in a water-less toilet (yes those exist). Or you could just not flush the toilet until after several uses.
Yeah except its not.
According to science news writer ERIKA ENGELHAUPT, "Urine is not sterile, even before it comes out of you and gets contaminated by your skin. Bacteria are present at low levels in the urine of healthy people not suffering from a urinary tract infection..."
"Bacteria are present at low levels in the urine of healthy people"
Bacteria are present in at least "low levels" everywhere. It's been estimated that the digestive tract of a typical human contains about a litre of bacteria, and that's an unimaginably huge number of microbes. It has also been estimated that around half the cells in and on our bodies aren't human, but rather bacteria and other microorganisms. That doesn't mean we're all diseased; it just demonstrates that bacteria are ubiquitous. It also shows that, contrary to what companies who sell cleansing products want you to believe, it is not the case that all bacteria are evil.
Problems only arise when our immune systems have difficulty handling the wrong sort of bacteria in the wrong place.
If you have some sort of easily communicable disease and other people are in the habit of licking the sink or rubbing open wounds or their mucous membranes on the porcelain immediately after you urinate in it, then pissing in the sink isn't a great idea. Otherwise, it's not going to cause problems for anyone.
Just dont flush everytime, me and boyfriend dobt fkush it unless it stinks or theres brown buisness happening
This is not sanitary or entirely normal. Urinating in the sink is actively detrimental to society because the processing facilities normal waste water go to do NOT have proper treatment abilities for sewage (which is why it goes to a separate sewage treatment facility). If you are concerned about water conservation, you can either not flush the toilet until you urinate a few times or invest in a toilet with a separate light flush setting.
Whut?!?
You're saying that the sink in your bathroom is connected to a different waste line than the toilet right next to it?
I don't know where you live, but I'm familiar with plumbing systems in the USA and Europe, and I know for a fact that it all goes down the same pipe in every house I've ever lived in. There will be some primitive rural properties or places built by those wanting to be "green" who route their drainage separately (so the sink just goes out to a pipe ending on the ground, or it's routed into a container used for irrigating plants), but that is definitely not to code anywhere, and it's highly unusual.
I do that sometimes, but it’s more of a fetish thing haha, I have a piss fetish and I love to expieriment
just don't flush when you take a piss lmao, it ain't that hard you're fuckin weird bro
That's really very funny.
Infants can be adorable (particularly if they're your own) but the fact is that they are are squirming, shrieking little bags of snot, drool, piss and shit. Yet you think it's okay to wash your little germ factory in the sink, where it's almost certain to pee at some point, and very possibly will also release the contents of its bowels. However, some man urinating in his own sink and washing it away afterwards disgusts you.
Do you believe your infant is so pure that none of his/her bodily secretions really count? Or maybe what this is really about is you thinking deep down that men are dirty, disgusting creatures by nature? Or perhaps you're in mommy-mode, you've bought into the cleansing industry propaganda, and now you're seeing hidden dangers threatening your sprog lurking everywhere. If the last is the case, you might want to look into the research that suggests exposing small children to a wide range of non-pathogenic bacteria can have life-long benefits for them.
I cared for a terminal ill spouse while she was doubly incontinent for about six months, and then a few years later I was pretty much solely responsible for taking care of the hygiene needs of my infant daughter. Those experiences - along with a lifetime of dealing with the disgusting habits of a series of dogs and cats - have left me pretty blasé about urine.
Just dont flush after you pre in the toilet... wait a couple of times then flush. If you poop though then you flush. There's even an old rule about it. Yellow let it mellow, brown flush it down.
This is really pretty simple! Pee in the sink if you want to...just clean the sink when you finish! It ain't THAT hard!
I did this when I was younger, like mid-20s, when my mom would stay in the only bathroom for a long time. The other toilet was broken. And somehow, there was a fleeting, almost voyeuristic feeling to getting away with it? It was the kitchen sink. And with my height, it was easier and more level with my you-know-what instead of trying to aim downwards.
I tried doing it again later at a new place a lived, and figured I would stop. My brother did catch me once, haha.
I pee in the shower sometimes, but the sink seems a bit nasty. a little to close to your faces/hands.
You believe basic plumbing facts are "pseudoscience"?
It rarely happens, but words fail me.
Honestly, you do you. Only reason I would have against it would be it would be rude to do it in someone else's house and it would be gross if you accidentally dropped your tooth brush in the sink. DX
Please don't ever do this in a public sink. Honestly, what you do in your own home is your business, but that's really foul if you do it anywhere else.
Damn, these people who are seriously urine-phobic and apparently believe piss is a festering soup of disease organisms looking for their chance to infect any passerby. I guess their mommies must be so proud; they trained them really well.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with pissing in the sink. It ends up going down the same drainpipe as the contents of the toilet and a quick splash of water from the tap will wash away any dribbles and clear the drain of any urine so it doesn't smell.
Even if there are significant numbers of pathogens in your urine (which is unlikely), it's highly improbable that they will ever infect anyone else. Lots of mommies warn their kids that they can catch nasty diseases off of toilet seats, but there are few pathogens that can survive drying out for long, and even the ones which have survived that need to be in contact with a mucous membrane in order to cause an infection. So, basically, in order for someone to get ill from your urine in a sink, you'd have to be pretty damn ill yourself, and they'd have to come along and lick the sink immediately after you'd pissed.
If there's nobody in your house who has this habit, I'm sure your water-conservation measure is perfectly safe.
I personally have a sink in my bedroom (I know, strange but DAMN is it useful) and when I'm too lazy I do sometimes pee in it. Other than that though why not just not flush the toilet after peeing?
When I was at an English university back in the eighties, all the dorm rooms had sinks that were of the cantilever out from the wall type, with no support beneath them.
Every year, the rumour mill produced a story about how one of the new female students had broken her sink by putting too much weight on it.
It isn't normal, but as long as you take care of the sink and your hygiene, it isn't much of a bad thing.
So licking the sink is part of your dental hygiene routine? Or do you fill the sink with water and slosh your toothbrush around in it before brushing?
If you don't do either of those things, then how precisely are you imperilled by brushing your teeth while standing at a sink someone has urinated in some time before?
It sounds like you believe someone pissing in the sink creates a seething stew of disease-causing organisms in the drain, and they're going to fly up and attack you when you bend down to spit out the toothpaste.
How do you cope with using a toilet? Aren't you worried that shit-germs are going to swoosh up and infest your butt?
