A new support group called Shower Pissers Anonymous has been formed at Lafayette College to help students who suffer from a chronic condition of involuntarily urinating while showering. The group, sanctioned by the Office of Residence Life, holds weekly meetings led by July Muly and provides members with leopard fur suits with built-in diapers for discretion. Attendees share their stories of how the condition started, often tracing it back to hazing incidents during the pledging process, and seek to overcome their relapse-prone recovery.

Why it matters

This story highlights a little-discussed but common issue faced by some college students, shedding light on the mental health challenges and social stigma surrounding involuntary urination. The formation of Shower Pissers Anonymous provides a supportive community for those struggling with this condition and raises awareness of the need for more resources to address it.

The details

The Shower Pissers Anonymous meetings take place in the dimly lit basement of 635 High St. on Lafayette's campus. Attendees sign up online to preserve their anonymity and are shipped leopard fur suits with built-in diapers to wear to the meetings. During the most recent gathering, one brave fraternity brother shared his testimony of relapsing after three months of being "clean" from shower pissing, while others opened up about how the condition started during hazing incidents while pledging fraternities.

  • The Shower Pissers Anonymous group was sanctioned by the Office of Residence Life after a particularly odorous and unsanitary fall semester on campus.
  • Weekly meetings of the group have been led by July Muly since the start of the spring semester.

What they’re saying

“I was three months clean — three months! I don't know what happened, the running water, or maybe because I forgot my speaker … I just looked down, and there was yellow running down my leg. But I'm not ashamed to say it! Relapse is part of recovery; it's part of the program.”

— Unnamed fraternity brother, Shower Pissers Anonymous attendee

“I just wish there was a program like this back when I was in school. I really needed — I mean, ahem, please cut that out. That's off the record. I had many friends who suffered from this condition. It's no joke, no no no, not at all.”

— July Muly, Shower Pissers Anonymous leader

“The built-in diaper has really made me much more confident. I wear it to class, I wear it to Milo's. People around me say, 'Ew, what's that smell? Is someone hiding a rotting corpse?' That's just me, that's just Trev.”

— Trevor Rectum, Shower Pissers Anonymous attendee
