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.:
I got mine from a site called "Going Green Solutions". It was only $74.80 for an original LS and they post to WA because mine was posted:
I have been using mine for 5 years now and I LOVE it!! Not only good for MCN's but also for cleaning potties and squirting spew off things before they go in the wash :D
I love mine too.
I hate it when DH uses it because he gets bits everywhere but I have never got any splashback. DH thinks that it is funny to pretend to spray people and if forever showing his mates where they all giggle about it (boys!).
As someone else said, the trick is to put the nappy quite low in the loo.
As for purchasing, the Nappy Hunt is coming up and several shops will probably have them on special or at least have free postage - sign up for the hunt and get a discount code and grab one then.
i dont have a little squirt as such, hubby adapted a shower hose handle thing to fit the toilet cheaper and just as effective.
though we aren't using it at the moment due to being in a rental and it being in storage.
day care has maree for 10 hours a day 5 days a week so they deal with the majority and LS all her nappies for me :)
I love mine too. I use it for my daughters MCN's, and also because I do FDC, I have a little one in MCN's so hers get it as well, I also use it in case of toilet training accidents, I'm pretty sure that the parents appreciate having rinsed undies, (much easier then before I had one), the potties also get a rinse with it as well.
AWESOMENESS!! My DH did it himself using stuff from Bunnings and we have a head on it that has lots of different sprays! I don't use cloth anymore but it's still attached and I use it to hose down the bath now! Very well worth the investment.
Muppity - whats Nappy Hunt?? And where do you sign up for it? It sounds great.
Lissy, I sent you a PM with a link for the nappy hunt. It's basically a treasure hunt for an icon on websites that are run by WAHMs. It's mostly nappy sites but also other things like kids clothes, rocky road, jewellery. It's designed to get some exposure for these websites and to have some fun at the same time. Most sites offer discounts of sorts so it's great value. It starts on 1st of march & runs for a month.:
Can you PM me too babe? ;):
Another little squirt user here too...totally recommend it :thumbsup:. I agree the liners are pretty much useless...I use to find I'd still have to little squirt the nappy anyway :rolleyes:.
I think the key to getting the poo off the easiest is to try (obviously not possible if your out or they are at daycare) to little squirt them immediately after change....it comes off the nappy easier and therefore less splash back :o.
And yeah...I have also showered myself in it a couple of times...even now and I believe I am somewhat an expert little squirter (I've used it at least once, sometimes 2 and 3 times a day for the last 18months)...some poo's are just messy (and our toilet bowl is not that deep). The main thing is to remember....always, always close your mouth!!!!:sick::ROFL::
Sure can :D:
:ROFL: bec I'm sure that tip will be very handy Hehe. Ok I so want one now. I've been told to dry bucket my mcns so does this still work if you've wet them with the LS? Or do you need to wash fairly soon after??:
The LS doesn't wet them that much so dry bucketing still works - you do need to wash every day or 2 anyway
If my toilet could take a LS then I would still be using it. Very handy and I'm a scraper at the moment and I know what I prefer.
However, it was hard on my back leaning over the toilet cleaning the nappies - but I have a bad back anyway.
HAHAHAHA!! :rofl: :rofl: I ALWAYS close my mouth JIC. I think it goes on my very short list of worst fears copping poo splashback in the mouth!:
Wow what an eye opener. I thought it was a gimmick but now I want one.
BEST thing since sliced bread :)
I cannot recommend them enough! we love ours, especially when there's runny pooh, it's amazing!!!
