Actually most people don't like this either, even the smell of urine when left for long is somehow unbearable and could also disgust visitors with this method.

Yes, that's right, for us here it would be said to be dirty if the toilet smelled of urine.

I know of some friends that would choke seriously perceiving urine.

My mother taught me that rhyme growing up too. Water is expensive here in Australia, so it does save money not to flush every time you pee. It depends on who you live with though. If you live alone you can do what you want, but some housemates might not be onboard with this plan. Also, if you leave it for too many flushes it gets smelly (2 or 3 is okay but not more).

A big conservation method is to use the sink, rather than the toilet if it is just pee. Then the water you use to wash your hands afterwards is more than enough to flush it down. I have been doing that for years with no plumbing issues. This might not be a suitable solution for women or if you don't live alone. Here is more about it:

However, if that one won't work for you, this water conservation message is widely broadcast in Brazil as a water saving method and anyone can participate. Take a gander at this one:

PS I remember your catchy rhyme from back when I was a kid in the 1950s. It is certainly not a new idea.


Eww. Having seen how often men miss when using the toilet (pee on the floor, the seat, even the wall sometimes) I wouldn't want to live with a man who peed in the sink. Don't need that happening close to where I keep my toothbrush, thanks!

Do you only pee once a day? Or shower 6 times?

The reason why we flush is because of the smeel the clean water acts as a water seal or something like that. The water protects the smell from the toilet area. I know you are trying to save water but if you are ok with the smell you can practice that if not just flash after every visit.

It is economical though but it is better to flush a bit instead of not flushing at all

Yeah, at least flushing a big will reduce any odour that may be disturbing to visitors and won't allow stains due to the color of the urine.

You see what works for me? If you have water crisis, use nearby bushes to pee.

We once tried that to try and save water, but the wee stank to high hell. For that reason, I won't be doing that again any time soon!

Some urban areas don't have bushes. I wonder how they are going to cope with this tip that you have offered. Lastly, it is not everything that you would save money with.

Yes you are right, these tips are not good for women. I never did except when I was a kid.😁

I get that the anatomy of ladies won't allow them to use the bushes but it's a common practice in Africa.
