No. No peeing and no nose blowing in the shower. That's disgusting. Neti pots are disgusting. It really blows my mind that people are okay with being so disgusting.

I use my sinus rinse bottle in the shower. Why would I put that mess into my sink? So much easier in the shower. And yep, it's gross but that's life. So much easier and my sinuses are so much happier!

Every time I read one of these threads, I seriously wonder how any of you ever survive in the real world! Don't you ever wipe your kids' noses? Haven't you ever gotten their snot on you? Or had to clean their poop or vomit up? Snot happens. Pee happens. Shit happens. I can't say that I pee or blow my nose in the shower on a regular basis--but come on--why are you so afraid of your OWN bodily fluids? Hmmm....snotty kleenex in a trash can for an indefinite amount of time, snot immediately washed down a drain with hot water...why is one SO much worse than the other?  I don't have kids. So yeah. I just find it gross. I don't care what others do. It is just something I won't be doing. Why is that so awful?

Of all the things that have gone down my bathtub drain, some urine and nasal mucosa are the least of my concern...
I've washed up babies after exploded diaper situations, dogs after a month of who-knows-what, myself when I have my period...sloughed off skin cells are pretty disgusting, too. Point is: it's a basin...with an attachment to a sewer...that's what it there for. THANK GOODNESS. Can you imagine if we didn't have it?? Now THAT would be gross! (Coming from someone who's very happy to be born during the age of indoor plumbing!)

I don't really understand why peeing in the shower is seen as so awful. Urine leaves your body and ok, goes into a different vessel but it's followed by hot soapy water on your body and down the drain which doesn't normally happen after peeing on the loo so actually you're cleaner in terms of personal hygiene. Is it that the shower isn't the normal place for peeing - is it just that that disgusts people when you break it down?

the germaphobe threads here I find so amazing. I'm 100% sure that there's a much higher percentage of germaphobes on 2peas than anywhere else. They need to do a study.
I've never blown my nose in my hand in the shower, but I've had to pick my nose when I wasn't in the shower which is really more gross if you think about it. Peeing in the shower doesn't bother me either.

As for showering when I have my period, I have always found that if it's a fairly quick shower and I use the bathroom ahead of time, I don't have any issues. I mean I'll see blood when actually washing that area, but none otherwise. I may just be really lucky in that regard, I don't know.

Well, you could say the same thing about peeing in the kitchen sink...or standing in the toilet after you've peed in it "it all ends up in the same sewer line" To me it's partly about bacteria but a bigger part is standards of behaviour. Even though I know my urine is 'clean' and I'm not going to catch anything...I'm still not going to pee down my own legs or stand in my own urine if I have any choice in the matter. If you are peeing down your legs there's something wrong with you. If you are standing in your pee, there is something wrong with your drain.

Yes. I blow my nose in the shower. I've been known to pee in the shower as well. There's no way I'm getting out while dripping wet to pee. Nothwithstanding the fact that I am a SUPERKLUTZ, I get up at an ungodly hour most days (4:30 in the morning, most days) so getting out of the roman tub (which I hate with a passion) and scrambling back into said slippery would result in instant death for me. Honestly, I can handle snot and pee much better than blood or blood clots in the shower---for those of you who still get their period. Did you abstain from showering then? For me, having my period has nothing to do with taking a shower or a bath because I'm plugged up.

I don't do either. I use my neti-pot before I shower and I pee before I shower....neither of those things happen in the shower. To each their own.

When my periods are heavy (**TMI alert**), I can see great big clots of blood leaving my body and washing right down the drain. I could get even more graphic but I'll spare you the details.

I don't make it a habit but if I gotta go when I'm in the shower I go. It does not touch my legs and goes straight into the drain that's centered in the floor. If any misses the drain it is followed by shampoo, conditioner and soap all with lots of water. How is that gross? I can promise I'm cleaner after my shower than right after sitting on the toilet. And yes, I've also blown my nose in there too if I was stopped up or congested. The steam does wonders to open things up.

I don't do that.
I remember when my sister was in high school I heard a weird noise coming from the shower and asked her what she was doing in there. Blowing her nose into her hand! I thought it was so gross, now that I am older it doesn't bother me but you better be sure it all goes down the drain!

Yes I do that, it's easier for me to clear my nose in the shower in the morning.
Not sure what is gross about it, you are in the shower washing anyways. Is it any grosser than wiping your ass clean with a washcloth in the shower. The yuck all goes down the same drain.
And as other said, when I have my period, blood is dripping into the tub, if bodily fluid grosses you out in there, do you were a tampon in the shower?

I feel like a lot of people on this thread have never had sinus issues. My nose gets super congested while i sleep and the shower helps loosen it up, sometimes it is the ONLY way to get it out.

AH-haa haa - I bet none of you have ever seen the "farmer blow".... You hold your nostril shut by placing one finger firmly on the side of your nose. Then you lean forward and BLOWWWW... Take a step back and switch nostrils and BLOWWWW..... You want to factor wind direction into this, and you want to have some velocity to keep it from coming back at you. This is not something done in public, but it IS ok to do it among like kind. And sometimes you do it in the shower because you have so much dirt, dust, chaff, bees wings, etc. up your nose - you will do anything to get it cleaned out. This is practiced mostly in the winter when you are outdoors for long periods of time and you have snotsicles starting to form. You have too many layers on to get a kleenex or hanky out, nor do you have time for that because some large animal has you in her sights. You also need to pee outdoors quite a bit. There is no way to get to a bathroom. So you try to find a tree, tractor tire, or something big to lean on. Generally you do pee on your boot a bit. Boys have it made. They can now even stand on the step of the tractor and pee off it while the tractor continues its work uninterrupted (GPS Auto Steer). The girls have to idle it down and park it for a few quick seconds for a potty break. Around here it is called a snot rocket. My nephew is a pro with this technique. I have never done it.

Nope. I wouldn't do it. It's not unusual for me to leave work in various kid boogers. I even had to change my shirt because it had kid poop on it. I work in the nursery at my church on Sundays. So snot isn't going to freak me out. But I still wouldn't blow my nose into my hand.

I don't blow my nose into my hand without a tissue in the shower or anywhere else. I also don't pee in the shower. Both are just gross in my opinion. So you take a tissue into the shower? That doesn't seem right. LOL

I blew my nose in the shower this morning and thought about this thread. The hot water really opens the sinuses, my nose always runs during a hot shower. You are in the shower to clean your body, your nose is part of your body. I don't see how it's any more gross than the dirty soap that rinses off your body and down the drain.
