V I Poo

I was bought one of these sprays for Christmas by a well meaning relative and can't figure out the point of it
I understand that you spray it on to the toilet after doing your business but surely a flush acts better ...
I mean - leaving the toilet with your business sitting in it is frankly disgusting - even if you have sprayed V I Poo to hide the smell ?
Any comments welcome....

    You spray before the deed is done!

    So I have just discovered - but why ?
    I mean - the smell comes AFTER the event - not before ?

    I think the product is a complete waste of money and resources. Please do not buy it.
    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.

    Spraying before the event is marketing gimmick designed to encourages more of the product to be used; if you spray before there is a chance you will spray again if the event is not masked by the first spray!

    It creates a barrier on the water to stop the smells coming back up.
  • It's very obvious from the ad - you use the spray to turn your business into doughnuts :j

    I'm an adult and I can eat whatever I want whenever I want and I wish someone would take this power from me.

  • PMSL yes it's meant to hide the smell of your devils doughnuts if you're in a friend's house and need to go to the loo. I've never used it, but I have a deodorising drops thingy from Japan which leaves a nice fragrant smell in the loo.

    In my experience the product DOES mask toilet smells with just a few sprays before you do your business - its highly concentrated. Having said that i would never pay the RRP of £6 for a bottle, its a complete rip off for what is a glorified air freshener. If i see it on sale for £2 in Home Bargains then i may pick up a couple of bottles as each bottle does last for ages.
