What does this have to do with the shower? More than you might think. Urine can carry bacteria and when you pee in a shared space like a shower, those bacteria can settle on surfaces, even if you don’t see them. If someone else steps in shortly after, or if you shower barefoot regularly, there’s a risk of that bacteria spreading.
If you or your partner make a habit of urinating in the shower, it might be time to reconsider. Good hygiene habits can go a long way in preventing unnecessary infections. A clean shower is one thing but a healthy urinary tract is another. So next time the urge strikes, you might want to hit pause. Your body and your bathroom will thank you.
