Hi Ive seen these advertised a bit and was wondering if many people had them? And if you thought they were a good investment?

Yes, yes & yes. And then yes again.
If you're using cloth or sposies, all poo should go down the loo. And the options to get rid of poo are to scrape it off, use a liner, or to rinse it off. Scraping is gross IMO (I used to scrape) and messy, whereas rinsing it off not only is easier, straight into the loo, but also dilutes the urine in the nappy and saves your nappies. Plus keeps the smell down!
Doesn't water squirt everywhere though? Seen them, but always thought I would end up with poo up the walls:
So worth it!!!! There is a little knack to it to not spray water everywhere but just follow the instructions, basically you don't squirt the sh$t out of the hose (no pun intended :) ), just be gentle wth the flow you use just enough pressure to get rid of the poo.
It makes life so much easier!!
Put the nappy low in the toilet bowl and gently press the trigger ... it just takes practice. Like 5 mins worth :D:
I love my little squirt. It does take a little practise to get the right angle. I have had poo on the walls several times - but it wipes off pretty easily lol! IMO liners don't work. I use them for DS for daycare and most times the majority of the poo ends up on the nappy anyway.
I love my LS - was grateful when my dad could manage to install it for us (tight nuts/tap thingy on the pipe to the loo) made things easy (DH & I aren't the most handyperson people - me more than DH but I couldn't do this one). I find it helps stop my nappies staining quite so much - the more poop I squirt off the less stain I have afterwards. And I still have to occasional splash back when I don't quite get the nappy low enough in the loo from where the poop is.
Actually TBH I was more concerned in showering myself in it let alone the walls :rofl::
Kazbah - Gross! Yep I dont think the whole scraping it off thing is for me either lol.
lol! I've never got myself! The walls can handle it ;)
I have one.... but have never used it. DP refused to attach it to the loo and I couldn't get the taps undone to do it myself. Will probably sell it during the garage sale anyway.
Back to the question though, they would be SOOOO much easier than the other options lol.
Hygenic
easy
stressfree way to deal with the poo
without LS, i doubt we would have used MCN
every day, (from birth to toilet trained at 27 months), i was glad to have the LS
it was the BEST thing i bought (for having a baby in the house)
if X hadn't been able to attach it (you need the tools and skills of someone who can change a tap washer), i would have paid a plumber to do it.
the instructions say "depress the lever HALF way down"
if you depress it 100%, yes, water will go everywhere
if you follow the instructions, the water will just go into the loo bowl
where do you get them from?
I got mine from the PG & baby expo when it came to Adelaide the other year. I have seen them online somewhere but don't remember where
how much would you want for it? and would you post it? :P:
I love my litle squirt and i also use it to clean my loo too. I aim the spray up so it goes under the rim that usually traps all the nasties - life wouldnt be the same without it!
I love mine. It takes care of the messiest of poos fast! Yes, I have showered myself in poo and the walls in the past. The walls were on my trial practice use and myself was when DD went to grab something and I squeezed without aiming... not cool. I would definately get one again. Awesome invention!
Just in case you are not convinced...
YES - LOVE IT... also makes cleaning the loo easy too :)
I got mine online from Itti Bitti but I have seen them at several online nappy stores. There are several different brands available too.:
