to tell you I've found the perfect sick bowl?

[MyCousinsNotVinny]

I have found the perfect bowl for incoming vomit!

Plastic - check
Deep/large enough to contain splash back but not so deep as to be unwieldy - check
Spout to easily empty - check
Dishwasher safe - check

Plus the handle on one side and the spout make it easy to hold support on a lap.

It's showing out of stock online but I got it in a store today.

I'm sure it's great for mixing too.

YABU to bring up sick bowls (no pun intended) but then again I screenshot it for my next visit to JL so I guess that means YANBU. Thanks (I think!).

@user3735 that's genius!

WHO IS PUTTING USED SICK BOWLS INTO THE DISHWASHER??

Well I'd give it a good rinse out first but even so this makes no sense as an attitude.

The point of a dishwasher at high temperature is to clean stuff. I mean most people will have knives and chopping boards with raw meat on at some point.
That's more likely to kill you.

I use the inside “bucket” of thr
mini bathroom bin. It’s perfect. Easy to carry around. Easy to find. perfect size and easy to store.

We have a nice deep plastic waste paper bin with Cinderella decorations on the outside. I fill it with a bleach and water solution when the crisis is past.

My thought too…prob same people who put their toilet brush in the dishwasher as well as the poop scoop!

I'm curious about the amount of people that have them for the car, if the kids get travel sick is there a reason you don't give Kwells or other travel sickness medication? My kids feel sick for anything over a 10 minute journey and we'd never be without them.

Yes!

I came on to say our mop bucket has served us well for decades.

Just don't use a wicker bin no matter how much of an emergency, and especially not when it's in a room with a cream carpet.

Kwells don't seem to work for my kids. We just go through a whole lot of plastic bags on long car journeys (don't ask me about our flights to NZ earlier this year), which isn't ideal but works when you have two who throw up.

We just save the Hero's or Quality street plastic tubs from Christmas. Plenty big enough, stick lid on after to transport to the bathroom, empty, rinse, disinfect. My kids will get to the toilet but sometimes you get caught out when you wake up in the night or someone's in the bathroom.

😂

Bizarre thread, but I love it!

We’ve always just used a bucket, though on the last occasion my son felt sick, I discovered him with the log bucket, which still had bits of bark and chips of wood in it. I had to explain that I couldn’t flush those things into the septic tank and get him the normal, lightweight bucket.

Sadly, after a particularly awful birth with the same son, I need to use a bucket, because vomiting always comes with unplanned urination.

As a child, we used to use the upturned bathroom step. Brilliant thinking by my mother!

... I have used a pyrex bowl before now... but I generally prefer the cardboard purpose made sick bowls that you throw out afterwards. Handy when more than one member of the household has a bug (happens more often than I'd like because we have very small children).

To those who vomit straight into the toilet, doesn’t kneeling on wood or tile just add insult to injury when you’re already having a rough time?

By pure accident after a drunken night out this has become the go to sick bin

Lovingly referred to as the 'pink bucket'

@Whataretheodds 🤣🤣🤣 true in our house too

No , it’s infinitely better than vomiting in a bowl , which in my case I’d be dealing with as my husband vomits at the sound of someone vomiting let alone seeing it

Why would you want to put your whole head in? If it's genuinely that big it must be the size of a small boat.

My kids are not the best at aiming, so this ensures it all goes in the bowl.

I use the toilet, personally. The bowl is great for the kids.

And it is a massive bowl. I don't know what kind of food it's supposed to be for, apart from perhaps the Massive Salad.

Oh, I get that, I just wondered how big it was that you could insert your head and still not get splashback 😂
I'm jealous of your massive bowl.

Can't remember that last time it happened, good few years ago. None of us get sick very much. I have never heard of anyone needing one outas I de of mumsnet?

We use the empty celebration/quality street plastic tubs.

And I use the toilet if I'm sick?

Most people would, for choice. Don't always get a choice, though 🤷🏻‍♀️

Must be very lucky! My DS14 has never had a vomiting bug, neither have I.
