This is for men only!
A question for you. What is the essential difference between peeing into a urinal and peeing into a hand-wash basin? Essentially none. You can flush the basin afterwards (which you can't do with a urinal) and it might even be better.because you can choose exactly how much to flush. And if it seems a bit "off" to suggest this, remember that urine is sterile and if you flush the bowl after, what exactly is the problem? A normal toilet will normally flush 6 litres on a full flush and less of course if you use the smaller flush button, but surely it would save a lot of water to use the basin?
And if you want to go extreme you can pee into a bottle and use this (diluted) to fertilise your lawn- if you have one,- or your compost heap. Why buy lawn fertiliser when urine does it at no cost?

Welcome to the board !!You could drink it too, k9, if stranded in the desert.
Do wonder sometimes what the folk of drought countries think of us buying water when so much falls from the sky for free.

You can of course use the toilet and not flush(if it's yellow etc).

Peeing on a compost heap is recommended in most gardening books.

But you dont need to flush all the time i use toilet blocks and only flush once a day pee wise .

If you believe urine is sterile, why is there a test by GP's and other medical sources, for diseases?

Urine from a perfectly disease-free body is sterile, but there is no way of knowing it is disease-free without testing in a laboratory.

Some doubtfull chemicals there. You are what you eat and drink, and it shows up in your wastes sooner or later. As for urinating into a wash hand basin: well, I wouldn't do it at home (the toilet bowl is right next to the basin!) and I certainly would not do that at anyone else's home. Morally unacceptable.

Here's another question: would you drink from a freshly-flushed toilet bowl? No? What is the difference?

Hi chris n tj
You are quite right, after finding this I apologise for my earlier post:

The link points out that our bodies are full of different microbes and bacteria. On the way through our plumbing, these can be changed into something harmful.

So no, you had better not drink your pee, OP. :D
