A recent study by QS Supplies has revealed some very disgusting personal habits of people in washrooms. The shower, for the majority is a place of hygiene but it seems like this is not the case for many. A new study reveals that many people don't just like to take shower in the washroom but they also like to indulge in other activities like peeing, pooing and even masturbating.

#1 Bathroom is a very private place
The bathroom is supposed to be a private place. What one does in the bathroom is very personal and it should be of no one's concern.
It is also considered a safe place for many. Especially for those who like to do their thinking in the bathroom. Many like to close themselves in the bathroom when needed some "me" time and then there are those who take bathrooms as their performance stage. While taking shower they like to sing out loud and even have self conversations.
#2 Details from the recent survey will leave you cringing
We all think we have some pretty decent bathroom habits. But a recent survey by QS Supplies has revealed some disgusting bathroom habits adopted by many and these are enough to make you feel cringed.

#3 Not the response you expected
QS Supplies spoke to more than 1,000 Brits and Americans and quizzed them about what they do in the bathroom, and why. Let us warn you beforehand, it's not a very hygienic answer.
Some facts that have emerged from statistics, for example, 53% of people wash fewer than seven times per week, meaning they regularly go 24 hours without washing. Also, 20% of Brits and 22% of Americans said they’re actively washing less frequently than they otherwise would help reduce their environmental impact.
#4 How can one poo in the shower and that too at their workplace?
While other results were very alarming. Before that, we want to ask you a question. Does your workplace have a shower? If it does, do you use it to masturbate, pee or poo?
The alarming results from the study explains:
Nearly one-third (32%) admitted to peeing in the work shower, 25% had blown their nose down the drain, and 20% had spat. Rarer but more shocking activities also occurred: one in 20 admitted to masturbating, and one in 30 even said they’ve defecated while showering at work.
Pooing in the shower at home is disgusting but doing this at your workplace is outrageous and completely unacceptable.

#5 Some people explained their reasons
Some people even came forward to explain their reasons, one 42-year-old man explained:
I underwent surgery to remove internal hemorrhoids a few years back and experienced a great deal of pain with my first bowel movement. So, I found that pooping in the shower helped alleviate some of this pain.
Between standing up and having water flow down my butt, I was able to alleviate my discomfort. Unfortunately, I was inexperienced with pooping while standing and I ended up having to push the crap down my drain… with my toes.

#6 Another woman explained
On her behalf, this 31-year-old woman described:
I had such a bad stomach ache after eating at a new Chinese restaurant once and I just happened to be showering when the worst of it hit – I had no option! A few days later my shower drain was clogged from hair (like it’s been a million times before), and when the plumber came to fix it, we found out it wasn’t just hair.

#7 Other statistics were also not very fun to know
Other results were also not very fun to know. According to the findings, For example, 51% of men and 28% of women said they’ve masturbated in the shower, as well as 68% of men and 56% of women admitting to peeing while washing.
With reference to the people's private parts, 27% of women and 15% of men said they use a wet wipe on their groin, while 15% of both men and women said they washed their genitals in the sink rather than in the shower.
