Pooing in the en suite!!

[MisfitNinja]

Settle an age old debate between myself and my DH:

Shitting in the en suite:

Yes or no?

I say no, as it will stink the bedroom out and he disagrees and says that it doesn't matter. If he needs to go he'll go whichever toilets closets!!

Agreed! We have the rule no no2 in downstairs! It's next to the kitchen.. gross!!!

Is it only male poo that smells?

That's what some of the posters here seem to think. They banish their husband's to an outer shed to poo, but there own smells of Chanel No. 5.

An outer shed sounds like a great idea purple!

I’m probably going to shock you, but toilets were invented for shitting. HTH

It wouldn’t bother me, but then again I have 3 boys and a man child and it would be nice just to sit down on the loo seat without a surprise piss on it 🤦🏻‍♀️😬😂 Gross!

Christ, I'd shit in a cup if it meant I didn't have to walk downstairs to our main bathroom. En suite is fine for a poo. A toilet is a toilet as far as I'm concerned. Give a quick spray of air freshener or switch on extractor fan if it's really such an issue.

Mine is through the dressing room and has 2 windows, but my rule is, only I poo in there. lol!

Not sure if its diet, but my husband never farts and his poo dont stink, or at least the toilet never does after hes touched down.
He is plant based vegan. But he still AIN'T allowed to land one in the en-suite!

I think en-suites are over rated for that very reason

Pleased I’m not the only one to worry about this, but in my case it’s the reverse problem, having started a new relationship in my late fifties. Love the en suite, but don’t want my new partner to experience the after effects of my time on the loo. After some thought, I have found it quite easy to develop a regular habit of defecating just before I shower in the mornings. By the time I’ve cleaned teeth and brushed my hair the moist air from the shower together with the fan seem to help calm things down. I also changed antiperspirant from roll on to aerosol and a quick squirt of hair spray helps too. Air freshener is available, but not usually needed.
I do wonder why I never thought to develop a regular pattern before. I probably just didn’t think about it, but it seems quite natural now and I generally feel better for it.
Interestingly, we haven’t talked about this, but he seems to use a similar tactic. Ensuites are great.... like being on holiday every day and loos are for using.

In the day/when no ones in the bedroom or going to be using the bedroom imminently.

If we were both relaxing in bed and off he went to do a gross stinker then no... go use the family bathroom.

If we have guests or just general day time and he wants to use the en suit then its fine.

Id rather stink out there than a family bathroom to have MIL use it next or something!

I hate ensuites, would rather have a separate bathroom.

But if you really have to go I have found Pop Pourri Toilet spray to be very effective. Better than aerosols.

Keep the en suite sweet...

I really can't fathom the objection. Many posters on this thread must have given birth in front of the defecaters they're complaining about. Pooing is a normal body function. It usually smells for a short while. Sometimes it's noisy. Loosen up. Your attitude, and your bowels

Never!! We’re currently designing an extension and everyone is baffled that we’re NOT including an en-suite with the new bedroom

Keep the door closed, use that stuff you put in the loss before pooing, spray Febreze afterwards. Then open the door and close it when you come out. Should be OK.

The DH doing an en-suite poo is tolerable - it’s his house! Let him poop where he wants to. It is better than the poop in the WC we have right next to our dining table. That is a much bigger deal. DH would never do it but DS2 used to pull that trick just before or during every dinner!

It's a smell. Get over it people.

It's not just a smell, it's little bits of poo particles going up your nose! 😄

@MrsKoala - surely you could fit a door in the archway, I can’t believe anyone would have a loo anywhere without a door

Wish I had an en-suite to poo in.

Get a life pet, if YOU are posh enough to have an en suite and want to brag about it - most of us have en suites nowadays, get some bloody air fresheners or a decent extractor fan, I personally think your question was merely you trying to brag that you have an en suite but hey let's try to think of a joke re en suites:-
A man gets home from work early one day and catches his wife in bed naked but alone. Being a little suspicious, he decides to look about the bedroom and, on entering the en suite bathroom, he catches a guy standing there totally naked. He says, "what the hell is going on here?"The guy replies, "it"s okay: I"m from the council, we have had a report that you have a moth infestation."The husband says, "but you"ve got no clothes on!"The guy begins to beat himself down furiously saying, "the little bastards."

That is a brilliant job, BlindUser.

Petlover9 My sister had a bathroom adjacent to her bedroom in her old house and decided to make it en suite. She thought it would be nice with an archway entrance. Big mistake! When she sat on the loo she realised the neighbours could see anyone sitting there through the side of the bay window in the bedroom and also anyone lying in the bed. She had to buy a bi-fold screen for modesty and no one was allowed to poo in there!
