I started because it saves time, urine is sterile when expelled and I am using soap to wash the rest of me which should clean everything after up. Makes sense to do it then, rather than use an extra couple gallons to flush 500ml of liquid to what is ultimately the same place.
I also regularly clean the shower.

- lostlogin 9y ago> urine is sterile when expelled No it isn’t. There are loads of studies saying this, here is one. http://jcm.asm.org/content/early/2013/12/19/JCM.02876-13 http://jcm.asm.org/content/early/2013/12/19/JCM.02876-13
- cobbzilla 9y agoOh jeez, the whole "is urine sterile" debate. Enter on one side, the purists: "sterile means absolutely, positively no germs" Enter on the other side, the realists: "if I pull open my festering sore, and you piss on it, will I get your illness?" The purists say, "well maybe, the probability is not zero, you can't say that is sterile" The realists say, "Run the experiment it 1000 times, and if no one gets infected, what do you call that? What do you call it if 1 out of 1000 gets infected?" What do you say?
