Do you pee in the shower? A poll a while back found most Americans have done it. And now you can let it flow with no remorse.
Ah, the age-old question: to pee or not to pee in the shower? According to a recent CNN article, experts are now wagging their fingers at this common practice, warning that it could harm your pelvic floor over time.
But let’s be real: there are two types of people in this world—those who pee in the shower and those who lie about it. The article suggests that peeing while standing can mess with your pelvic floor muscles, potentially leading to incontinence and other issues. Apparently, our bodies are delicate flowers that can’t handle multitasking.
The experts also caution against creating a mental association between running water and the urge to pee. So, if you find yourself sprinting to the bathroom every time you hear a faucet, you might have your shower habits to blame.
But let’s not kid ourselves. In a world where people are eating Tide Pods and believing the Earth is flat, is peeing in the shower really our biggest concern? If you’re worried about your pelvic floor, maybe focus on not holding in your pee for hours while binge-watching Netflix.
So, dear readers, where do you stand (or squat) on this pressing issue? Are you a proud shower pee-er, or do you side with the experts? Share your thoughts in the comments below, and let’s flush out the truth together.
