To tell DH to V.I.Poo?

[TakeMeToTheFresh]

Just that, really.

Absolutely disgusting, I know. But hopefully if you're sensitive, the thread title made you steer clear.

DH is incredibly unpleasant on the loo and I think these things are fab (The V.I.Poo) sprays.

I even keep one in my handbag now.

I haven't actually asked him to use it every time.

AIBU? Yes I know this is his home too but as it's mine also, I don't want the loo unpleasant to be in

I'm very clean and tidy but I think this may just be common curtesy now?

Sorry if it's not, I'm asking in AIBU because sometimes I don't know how reasonable my requests are!

I've made my own lavendar one. Empty face primer spray bottle washed out, few drops of organic essential lavendar oil. Bob's your uncle (or wee beige jobby's your uncle) - works a treat, smells lovely, no nasty chemicals.

Firstly let me say that I have a very healthy attitude to pooing and setting aside folk who are dealing with difficult illnesses etc, we should all poo, using the appropriate facilities, whenever we want as often as we need.

But. I cannot for the life of me understand people who are entirely happy and inconsiderate of others to merrily allow the stench of their faecal matter permeate an entire house - it's utterly disgusting and totally avoidable not to mention, totally thoughtless. Open the window, if, by the time you've washed and dried your hands the smell hasn't gone, spray something and do us all a favour!

Keep a box of matches in the loo - strike one or two and that will rid the smell.

I bought a nice incense holder and incense sticks for my husband. It is the only thing that works and, thankfully he uses them. Air freshener, the product you spray in the toilet water, exhaust fans did not work and he refuses to open windows. For some reason he enjoys lighting the incase and so all is good in my world.

For some reason MN thinks that a tiny squirt of VIPOO is dreadful but plenty of you seem to think its OK to chuck a load of bleach down the loo after every use.

Just ask him to think of your delicate nose and use the stuff.
It's really effective

It’s less than £2 at home bargains. Not that I need it of course. My shit smells of roses 🌹, that are growing in horse fertiliser 💩 IBS and vegan. I make the toilet smell like the devil’s bowels

OP, my youngest has SN and shits like a horse, wanders out of the downstairs toilet, leaving the door open, then the aroma floats into my work area, usually five minutes before a client is due! I usually spray the toilet after I’ve been in, so it’s prepared for her turd of doom. BTY, two squirts is enough to work.

More veg and less animal protein in the diet will help this.
I think VIPoo is great.

wombofonesown How would it end up in the water system? Do people think you pour it down the bowl?

That's exactly how you're supposed to use it. You spray it into the water of the loo. So yes it's all going into the system!

I second the striking a match idea,it's always worked for me. I have noticed that people who eat a lot of meat do seem to have poos that smell far worse than those who eat no meat,or only a small amount. My DD says that when her OH (a big meat eater) poos,it smells as if something has crawled into the toilet and died.

"leaving the door open"

other brands as cheap as £2 may not be as good

one of these, plus an extractor fan that comes on with the light switch. Problem? What problem?

Or you could always put a lock on the outside of the door and keep it him locked in until the smell goes. 😉😁

Yeah just show him the ad its hilarious like the porta potty one if he's in to toilet humor.

I keep a bottle of V.I.Poo in my bag, mainly for useing at work. The staff toilets there have no windows or extractor fan so if I'm going to let rip, I need it.

How would it end up in the water system? Do people think you pour it down the bowl?

Well, yes. How do you imagine it's used, WombOfOnesOwn?

As for the suggestion that it doesn't matter because loads of other chemicals already go into the system - surely the lack of logic there is obvious? On that basis, why bother with the Clean Air Act, recycling, reusing plastic bags, or any other anti-pollution measures whatsoever?

Apparently it can't work by trapping odour, because, unsurprisingly, most of the smells are gas released during the process rather than anything faeces themselves produce. That's why striking a match works. The general view is that people think it works because it's scented itself, and because of the placebo effect.

I love v.i.poo.

We all use it in this house. I live in a victorian terrace and when someone has a shit, you can smell it downstairs!!

I also use it in work as the loo is right in the foyer and you can smell if someone has pooed.

I think it's great and it lasts for ages.

I am going to take on board the make your own though!!

Just remember the smell can be eliminated but the tiny particles of faecal matter that float around the house afterwards are still there. Same as if someone farts on the bus or in a lift and you smell it, you're actually inhaling minute particles of their shit.

Why do people keep saying to open a window. It takes the small AGES to go from just having a window open.

I wouldn't use it though as I would be too embarrassed to buy it.

What is VIPoo, it's like £8. Is it just air freshener?

I suggested this to DH, he does the deed about 4 times a day (when he's not at work that is) & it reeks like a sewer! We have bathroom window open & extractor fan. If me or the kids have to use the toilet after him, the smell can bring tears to our eyes!

All these people talking about what they get their DH to use, are you under the illusion that your own shit doesn't stink?

No Slarti, our shit stinks too, but we don't subject everyone else to it as basic good manners, self respect and respect for other people would dictate in any normal person.

Mine doesn't stink half as bad as a man's. Or maybe I'm delusional but I've often know people to visit the loo after him and come straight back out.

Trust the old "I've have a condition that makes me fucking stink" to comment. Use VIP.Poo, nobody will realise you've your condition

"We have bathroom window open & extractor fan."

An extractor fan works better if the door and window are shut

unless you have an airtight door, it will draw in air from the house to replace what the fan sucks through the wall. The slight suction will also prevent smells drifting into the rest of the house.
