Exactly. If somebody did a poo in my bathroom they wouldn't be visiting again.

Well my bathroom has my toilet in it, so I would be a bit annoyed if they did it anywhere else. Now if you had just said "in my bath," that I could get.

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....

As others have mentioned, you spritz the water BEFORE you poop.

Reasons for using it: you're embarrassed by poo smells, especially leaving them in a friend's loo. You feel bad about stinking up a public toilet when there's a queue behind you. You live in a small flat & don't want the poo smell wafting around afterwards

How it works: when your poop plops into the loo water, the methane bubbles up through the water and is released into the air, and micro poo particles swirl in the water up to the surface and release more smells. The longer you sit on the loo, the more smell is released. Vi poo, poo pouri, etc are a mix of essential oils, water, and emulsifier. The oils sit on the surface of the loo water and create a seal the methane & poo particles can't breach. Preventing the smells from rising is better than masking them once they're out! When you're finished, flush as normal and you hopefully won't need an aerosol air freshener.

Are they worth it: not at full price imho, you can easily make your own. Just mix 50:50 water and witch hazel in a spritz bottle, then add essential oils (I use 40 drops each of lavender & teatree in a 200ml bottle). Shake before you spritz. (EBay is a good source of cheap essential oils)

Also - when you tip the bottle up to spray - the pick up tube appears to stop "sucking up" perfume - since it is then above the contents of the bottle...
USELESS is a good description of VIPoo !
