Reply to comment by Michutterbug in TIFU by opting out of having a shower with my girl who’s on her 🩸… by Miser-Mike

If I was a Cosmetic Chemist who worked in a lab formulating cosmetic products, and I accidentally bled into a large vat of a cosmetic product OR I sneezed and a large glob of mucus fell in OR if I misplaced my hairnet and large clumps of hair fell in...would you be OK with still bringing this batch of products to market? Blood, Mucous and Hair discharging, shedding or vacating the body are all NATURAL and the chemist should NOT be shamed for being HUMAN, does your 'Diluted Discharge Theory'' still apply?

Okay, so the difference is, and hear me out about that one, that you're meant to swim in a pool. No matter what, you swim in it and some minuscule amount of bodily fluids ends up in it. It's expected and it's what chlorine is there for.

Now, and this will shock you, you're NOT meant to rub yourself in cosmetic product you're producing. I know, it's shocking.

Am I advocating for everyone to use the public pool at any time? Hell no, if you are sick, stay the fuck out. If you have diarrhea, stay the fuck out. If you use tampons (or a cup or pads) and don't stain your underwear on your period, go ahead. If you do leak, please be considerate and avoid the pool on those couple days.

A lot of people out there don't seem to realize you sweat and shed dead skin when you are swimming. Showering before obviously reduces the amount of dirt you add to the pool, but its still there. Urine and sweat are very similar.
