Anyone else fed up & slightly grossed out by the V.I.POO Ad?!?!

[NotaSnowflake]

It's every. Single. Ad break. And i have a seriously sensitive stomach so if I'm eating my breakfast/lunch/dinner and it comes on it puts me right off! (And yes I eat with the tv on as cannot fit a dining table into my tiny house! No judgey comments please).

Has put me right off chocolate Donuts....

I think maybe it's more to do with the fact that it's constant. Bringing up the subject of post-toilet smell issues every 5/10 minutes with the animation on top.

Am I being unreasonable or is there anyone else out here that is actively watching things on Sky+ to purposely be able to whizz through ad breaks just to avoid it?!

No mean comments please. This is intended as a light hearted thread

Can I ask anyone who's used it are they worried about... ahem... splashback from the vipoo spray jumping up and splashing your ass after the moment of impact?

I've got it, and to be fair it does work like a charm! I have bowel problems so I can make a pretty awful whiff, and our bathroom is internal so no windows or ventilation. It's brilliant stuff.

I agree though, the advert and the name are bloody awful.

steff13 - you make your own? Please could you share the recipe?

In the meantime I have put a bottle on my Asda order for DS's use. His insides must be awful.

I love it. Makes me chuckle each time I see it. I must admit, when I saw it for the first time on TV I did actually google it to see if it was a real product and not a joke!!

Not seen the add but interested in the product. In process of tests to find out what (if any) digestive disorder/s i suffer from as my habits are very abnormal, i cannot ever go to the loo and only have a wee, even if i go 4 times a day. Makes having visitors or using out of my own home loos a complete no go.

I just want to know whose poos are that shape!

Advert is ridiculous

CAUTION: harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects

(On the label) - a home made or non toxic version would be good

It also says to only use in a well ventilated area - surely it's most wanted in internal bathrooms or tiny loos

Pointless product for 99% of the population. Open the fecking window.

Will appeal to the people who buy anti-bacterial everything including endless wipes and washing powder, and those bloody awful plug in air fresheners to make their house smell "nice" which really means chemical-filled and headach inducing.

My husband, who is the least sensitive guy in the world, saw this advert the other day and looked up and said " wtf was that, did you see that" and looked totally and utterly bemused,

I guess it serves a purpose as the ad is memorable and gets people talking. Sometimes they make them as bad as possible for that purpose.

Bentleybelly seems to!!

I make a little toilet roll bed for my poo to avoid the plop sound and the splash. So this wouldn't work for mw

Bellaboo Hahahahahaha that made me laugh! Chocolate Donuts!

I can minimise smell by using my poo-flush technique where I poo then quickly flush before wiping. Although it requires two flushes in total . I might get this to try.

However, I have IBS and the main problem is the sounds as I am going, awful in public toilets and at other people's houses. Maybe a VIPoo with a klaxon might help.

Chiming in with others... WHO THE HELL SHITS DOUGHNUTS?? And how do you poo out a doughnut?

Aside from the advert, I am surprise "Air Wick" have even got away with this. It's an exact copy of a brand called PooPouri, down to pretty much the same advert, same design, etc. They have basically stolen the other companies product and advertising.

I did a quick google and the other company is suing Air Wick

I have terrible IBS and feel sorry for anyone using the loo within half an hour after me. Heck, I don't like being in the same room as me when I'm having a poo!
I've bought some Vipoo and it's brilliant!

This is my recipe:
1 C water
2 t rubbing alcohol
2 t vegetable glycerine
30 drops of essential oil

Mix it all together in a glass spray bottle and shake.

Redblu, I did the same google search.

I actually quite like Poopouri and their adverts, gave a bottle to my sister as a (quite expensive) joke present once, and she really liked it.

So when I saw the VIPOO adverts, I assumed they had bought PooPouri out.

I actually can't believe they just blatantly ripped off the product and the adverts. It's just the worst kind of big business bullying.

Presumably it's cheaper for Reckitt Benckiser to go ahead, pinch the idea and pay the fine than to properly compensate Poopouri?

I hope it backfires for them big time.
