No medical harm can be done if you will decide to flush after every 2 or 3 pees instead of flushing every time you pee. In addition, urine is not a corrosive substance; letting pee sit in a toilet for a couple of hours won't cause damage to it.

However, you can save up to 8 gallons of water a day if you won't flush every time you visit your toilet. That may seem small, but it will result in a decent amount of savings (reflected on your water bill) in the long run. Lastly, this is an act of water conservation, which is one of the ways to help preserve our environment.

During my research, I came across this catchy rhyme for the first time, “If it’s yellow, let it mellow. If it’s brown, flush it down.”

Now toilets have both small and big flush system - each for pee and poop.
We cannot take risk with health too.

No, pee is smelly, i cannot stand the smell even it is 1 pee. Most toilet have 2 flush, big and small.

Funny thing is, pee is little more than smelly water as far as drains go. Rather than living with the stink or even wasting water with any flush at all, consider alternatives that really conserve water.

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.

i don't think we need to think about conserving money in everything, how about our wellbeing. Sometimes it should be about making more money to cover some vital expenses. it not good to leave pee for a long time in the toilet then use it again especially for the ladies.

[junglegal]

Pee stinks hey. Hygiene is very important. Especially if there are kids around. What happens when you have visitors and the whole house stinks of pee? I will pass on this one. If you want to save water don't flush the whole way. Or use those toilets that have two types of flushes. They are ment to help save water by administering enough water for pee and enough for poo.

I have a better idea, Pee during shower.

[eldavis]

You have a point there but this idea is actually a disadvantage 6o does who do not live alone. For a person living alone he or she can easily do that but in a situation where you have more than one person using the toilet the next person might find this act irritating.

You have a salient point here, never even thought about this when I dropped my first comment. it's really unhealthy nic for those that are not staying in an apartment alone

[eldavis]

The truth of the matter is that not everyone would be able to do this. Like you said it would be most helpful to does who stay alone and there are even persons who stay alone who would not be able to cope with this habit themselves.

No, pee is smelly, i cannot stand the smell even it is 1 pee. Most toilet have 2 flush, big and small.

Even if I lived alone I couldn't leave the pee there, it is not hygienic and it is smelly. My toilet also has 2 flushes, I use the small one and that is enough.

This is extreme. It would make me highly uncomfortable to stay in a house that is oozing pee.

People use this at night in my place where the toilet is outside.

Sorry, but I can't do this tip, because I can't stand the smell. I would not be comfortable with a very smelly toilet.

I am a very sensitive nose, I can even vomit just smelling fish or chicken. LOL

[Reedex]

On the contrary, I do not like to leave the pee there without flushing.

If it is the cost of water that I am saving from this strategy, I would gladly pay for it.
