- Hygiene and Bacteria
Urine is mostly sterile when it leaves your body, but it can contain small amounts of bacteria or waste products. In a shower, the urine mixes with water and soap, so the risk of bacteria buildup is pretty low. Still, some worry about lingering odors or bacteria on the shower floor. - Plumbing and Smell
If pee stays in the shower drain or on the floor without enough water flow, it can cause unpleasant smells or attract bacteria, which might affect bathroom cleanliness. - Social and Cultural Norms
For many, peeing in the shower just feels “gross” or taboo, which affects perceptions of healthiness even if the actual risk is minimal. - Skin Sensitivity
Some people might have sensitive skin or conditions that could be irritated by urine residue, especially if the shower isn’t rinsed thoroughly afterward.
