I have spent probably over $150 this past year trying every air freshener under the sun and a lot of the ones recommended here. Some work better than others...but the smell is still there to some extent....meh. Life-changing event: This is probably so dumb and simple, but at the advice of my dear friend Leonie, I tried matches. Old school, straight up books of matches. BRILLIANT. My DH and I cannot BELIEVE how effective they work. I light one during my initial 'release' as soon as I sit down on the pot and let it burn out in one hand while I flush simultaneously with the other (WHILE the poo is physically coming out, NOT after). I always have to sit for 5-10 more minutes for 'residuals' and will light another match during that time. When I am completely done with everything and stand up, I light the 3rd and final match while standing and kind of wave it very slowly around the area at nose level until it burns out. People, I swear to gah...THIS RIDS *MY* SMELL COMPLETELY (can't vouch for y'all but my method is worth a shot, I promise). My family is thrilled by this discovery. It's cheap as hell too!!! ^^^ Teachermom - sorry if I offend your hubby if he reads this thread! Hahaaa this is about as raw and real as it gets girl! Whew!!! I have to agree about the matches. I GUARANTEE this works.... to a tee. I have a small box w/ me in my purse along w/ a concentrated room spray from Bath & Body Works. The spray is to kind of hide that I may be smoking in a public place. I do have the Poopurri w/ a travel size spray but sometimes I don't have time to spray the water before going. But yes the MATCHES work!! I actually like the smell of matches.... I'm new to this - surgery tentatively scheduled June 17 but this is good to know - why not candles or bic lighters/or long ones for fires or grill - does it need to be wood??? BTW tell my wife about surgery plans tomorrow - wish me luck!

I believe it's the sulfur in wooden match heads that eliminates the odor.
And GOOD LUCK tomorrow!

Thank you for asking. It started off with alcohol (Happy Hour) - then friends joined us so I chickened out this past friday - then we had a disagreement anyway. Saturday we were out driving and I started the conversation with, "oh by the way did I mention…." Shockingly she didn't say much beyond what's it going to cost and then didn't balk. So knock wood it's ok. However, after 19 years of marriage, I've somewhat learned that: - you have to be careful about assuming
- I'm still learning the language as to what women say versus what they mean
- the past is NEVER done and over with
- A happy wife is a happy life
- I'm always wrong and it's always my fault
- Lastly, I'm sure I forgot something and these rules are subject to change at any time
There are a couple more that I've shared with my son's but not for ladies to see or be aware of - it's a bro-code

^^^^^ BEST POST EVER!!!!!
You made me chuckle with that list (while I was nodding my head in agreement of course). I love it! You have a great sense of humor. Also, your list is quite close to my reality. Hahaaa it seems that my love must have received the same memo. LOL
Thanks for sharing.
