Water-conscious flushing question

[(Anonymous)]

So I grew up flushing everything, but some of you didn't, and I've heard the phrase "if it's yellow, let it mellow, if it's brown, flush it down". What do you do if it's your period? "If it's red, kill it dead"? I can't think of a rhyme for leaving it there, so I hope you guys flush it.

Depends? If you drink a ton of water before you pee it has very little color or scent. If you haven't been drinking water and it's all yellow, flush that shit

Re: Water-conscious flushing question

If it's just pee, I don't always flush (especially if it's during the night).

Re: Water-conscious flushing question

Yeah, long before "if it's yellow, let it mellow" became a catchphrase, my family had its own: "Can I pee on your pee?"

When I first came to work at my office, I couldn't figure out why there always seemed to be pee in the women's toilet. Finally I asked...and the whole office burst out laughing and said that the whole team had agreed, one summer when there was a water emergency, that they'd only flush for poop. Because this is the Natural Resource Ecology and Management department, after all. (I always thought it was funny that they came to this decision while drinking beer.)

OTOH, despite at least 8 or 10 women having cubes or offices on that corridor, I have never seen blood in the toilet. So I'm pretty sure "If it's red, kill it dead" is the rule.

I always flush. Where I grew up, though, we didn't even pay for water (had our own source) and I grew up in a very water-heavy/flood-prone area so it was never a big deal.

If it's red, flush the head?

I say if you live on your own do whatever you want. If you live with other people, always flush unless you've negotiated and the other person isn't grossed out. Because personally, I find it really gross when people I'm living with don't flush.

About the negotiation thing, anyway; I'm not grossed out by not flushing. (As long as there's no blood or poop, I'm fine with it. I always flush on my period, even when home.)

But people should do whatever they feel comfortable with and/or have agreed on with their housemates or family.

What do you do if it's your period? "If it's red, kill it dead"?

I dunno about that rhyme, but I LOL'd.

Personally, I flush everything. Can't really afford not to with the toilet I have now... anything that gets left there will cause ugly rings you have to scrub.

I can't justify leaving menstrual blood in a toilet, though, even in a private space.

Re: Water-conscious flushing question

[(Anonymous)]

We've operated on the solid-flushing-only method on-and-off for most of my life. We actually never discussed menstrual flushing, but as I never see any I always flush mine too. Unless it's only a drop or two, like from at the end of a period.

Re: Water-conscious flushing question

[nyxelestia]

Same here. Poop, we flush no matter what. Pee alone, we rarely flush. My rule of thumb is that if, after a minute or two, I can't really tell there's blood in the toilet/the color hasn't changed that much, I'll leave it. If it turns darker than 'light orange', then I'll flush it.

Re: Water-conscious flushing question

[(Anonymous)]

I've heard those phrases before, but I've always flushed no matter what. Except if there was a water emergency and we were told to try to conserve water. But other than that, I flush it all down all the time!

Re: Water-conscious flushing question

[diet_poison]

I always flush blood.

I usually flush pee, too, because my family isn't the kind of family to be ok with leaving pee in the toilet (my sister specifically complains about it) but when I've lived on my own/with a roommate I was more likely to leave it if it wasn't really bad-smelling. Still though I always flushed blood and poo, and still do.
