Everybody poops. Poop stinks. Yet we’re still embarrassed by a funked up bathroom. While there’s now way to make it odorless, a few sprays and drops in your toilet water will keep the stench of your poop to a minimum. Unlike room sprays, poop sprays and drops don’t just attempt to mask poop smell. Instead they trap the odor in the toilet, explains Niket Sonpal, MD, an internist and gastroenterologist in New York City.
“You can spray it in the toilet before going and the oil on top blocks the hydrocarbons that our body produces from stool,” says Dr. Sonpal. “It reduces the amount of odor.”
You can keep bottles of poop sprays and drops on the back of the toilet in your house, but you can also take it on the go for any dreaded public poops.
