Depending on your liquid intake and bladder size, this could save up to ten gallons of water per day!

So it’s YOU that has not been flushing in the boys locker room! C’mon Lance, Im trying to teach heath here!

Come on, Julie … it’s your chance to teach them that urine is sterile!

Yeah, but when you have the hygiene and aim of a 6th grader…
“Urine excreted by healthy kidneys is sterile. When it leaves the body, however, the urine can pick up bacteria from the surrounding skin, which would contaminate it. It is not advisable to use urine to clean open wounds.” - Wikipedia
Good to know.
Still, I’ll save water with a lo-flo toilet.

it still smells bad. i’ve smelled stagnating urine…its not pleasant…actually i’ve smelled a lot of defication smells, i kind of ignore them now…thats what happens on a farm, or when my uncle eats…anything.

but don’t use up all the savings with all the extra tidy bowl you need come cleaning day???

Oh, the misconceptions … I’ve been doing it for years, and it never smells or leaves a dirtier bowl. It’s not like it sits there for weeks, folks!

i guess it still beats a squatty potty… or a German shelf toilet…

well…ours smells bad. it doesn’t leave a dirty bowl, nope. if anything the pee will make it cleaner.
i saw these nice toilets in portland where it has two options 1) flush down the big ones, 2) for a third of the water, flush your watery number ones down.
personally, i live in the country…toilets are overhyped. they really only matter in the city, right? i mean india has porcelian holes in the ground with (maybe) a faucet, and you only “flush” when it sits there thanking you for existence.

Consider a slight addendum:
“In cases with asparagus, perhaps it still is best to flush.”

If it smells bad, ‘ya might need to up the water you drink!
