Pee in Pool Poll Results

...say that 3 times fast. (Pee in Pool Poll Results, Pee in Pool Poll...)

Recently I posted a poll asking how many people pee in public/shared water sources through their swimsuit.  Since my audience is mostly comprised of Omo lovers and diaper wearers, I expected the results to be closer to 100%, as in "always wet myself in these situations if possible," but that wasn't the case.  Official results:

...really?

Only slightly more than half said they piss in their swimsuits or around water "nearly all the time", while another 20% do it "about half the time".  The other 30% do it rarely or never.  Say what?!

Maybe it's because I was instructed by my mother to pee in the pool instead of going to the "dirty" pool bathroom with the advice that "everybody does it," but I'm surprised more Omo lovers aren't wetting while swimming or around water.  (I'm not sure whether her motive was keeping us safe from potential creepers at the swimming hole bathroom or allowing us to wet in the one "acceptable" way to get it out of our system, but this is what we were instructed to do & I took full advantage).  In fact, I never saw a kid get out of the pool to use the restroom unless it was #2 so pool-peeing was totally normalized for me.

This is in fact the ONLY setting outside my own apartment I'll wet myself publicly, and I'll do it under the water, while walking to/from the water, sitting on the bank, going down a water slide, laying on my towel in the sand, trotting through a sprinkler or anywhere else a swimsuit is worn.  I've even done it on the way to the car after a day at the water park.  Peeing in the water in public feels just like peeing in the bath or shower so it's not even hard.  I'd venture to say this is one of the only public settings where peeing your pants is not only accepted but normalized, if only implicitly.

Swimsuit material is MADE to be pissed in!

Why?  Swimsuit material is made to absorb wetness, plus the water washes the pee away discreetly so the only way you'd be caught is if you stand with your legs spread and make a big scene of pissing outside the water like the ladies in the pic below.  You can sit right next to someone on the edge of the chlorinated pool and hiss your trunks or bikini bottoms if you do it discreetly & they'll never know.  I've even done it long after I got out of the water and was almost dry and was not clocked.  This applies to ponds, lakes, rivers, public pools, water parks (where I once sat at a picnic table waiting on my friends to go down a slide & wet myself massively with no shame).  The louder & busier the atmosphere, the less likely you are to get caught, ironically.  Just keep your legs together, release your bladder slowly as opposed to all at once if you're on land & mind your facial expressions.   😳 🥴 🤤

Some beach-goers get BOLD with it.

My friends and I would routinely spend all day at the pool as kids and not a one of us would get out once to pee.  This, despite guzzling Kool-Aid, lemonade, cold soda & every other sweet drink known to man.  Common sense tells me we were all doing the same thing.  Is it the most hygienic or considerate act?  Ehh, probably not.  But nobody has to know you're doing it either.  It's one of those things you can't really police.  Plus, your choice not to wizz in the pool does nothing to stop all those little screaming kids or shameless adults from using it as their personal toilet, so keep that in mind.  Might as well add to the yellow fun.  There are much filthier things in that water than human urine, some of which can make you deathly sick (see:  human fecal matter, vomit, drug residues, brain-eating amoebas in ponds, etc).

If you're unsure about public wetting (as I am), this is a great way to ease your way into it because so many other people piss themselves near water.  Simply wading in the water will wash it away, and a damp swimsuit often hides it even if you DON'T get in the water right away.  Or you can cover your lower half with a towel if you feel self-conscious.  So many options!  Once you master peeing IN the water, try something more daring:  spurting on the sand, while walking, as you jump/dive into the pool, etc.  I promise you'll like it more than using the grimy pool/beach facilities. 

So yeah, to answer the poll question, I wet myself 100% of the time when around water or wearing a swimsuit.  Sorry if that grosses anyone out, but I *did* ask others to be honest in the poll & would be lying if I said anything different.  For me it's more about convenience than 'hotness', as I don't even find it daring or taboo.  It's just how we were raised.  🤷🏼‍♀ 

Oh, and as for the rumor that some public pools add a chemical that turns purple when you pee, I've heard this all my life yet seen no proof of it whatsoever, so pee with abandon, little water babies.  💦

With summer approaching I ask again, wetters:  How often do you wet your swimsuit in public?  Why or why not?  If you're a parent, what advice have you given YOUR kids on this issue?  Ever been caught wetting in the water?
