Great product
This was a very odd product for me to own and I first used it at a friend's house. Just a spray in the toilet prior to using it and it locks in the unplessantries afterwards. It has a very gentle scent so it does not irritate your nose st all. I highly recommend this product. 1 spray is all that is required at a time.
Glad to see a big brand carrying this type of product.
These were released just after I bought the "Just a Drop" toilet products. I'm pretty happy about it because there are good coupons for VI.POO and its cheaper than the common brands of this kind of product that were out before. The point of this product is to spray it in the toilet before you use the washroom so that the smell of the waste is trapped instead of released into the air, stinking up your bathroom. It succeeds in this. Good amount of product in the bottle compared to competitors. The scents aren't as good as some of the competitors who offer yummy fruity ones. VI.POO smells kind of fake floraly, which some people hate. I don't mind it though. It's much better than the smell of human waste. The only real problem with it is more to do with my water at home, I think. If you spray it in before you go and some of the waste of higher than the water level of your toilet, the smell will still escape and I'm not sure entirely what you're supposed to do when that happens. Just a Drop said just spray some of it on the waste itself, even if you already put some in the toilet beforehand. The instructions give no advice on what to do in this situation though, for both VI.POO and competitor Just a Drop.
V.I. 'P.U.' (As in phew 'P. U.', it stinks)
I was so curious to try these new products that supposedly completely make the smell of poo disappear. I had a terrible time even finding a store that sells it. I looked at many grocery stores, drug stores and even Walmart. After failing, I stumbled across it at of all places, Canadian Tire. The only kind available was Rosy Starlet. So I followed the instructions and added a couple sprays to the toilet bowl. The scent instantly overpowered the entire bathroom...it is so strong you can taste it! It is an awful smell that gives me an instant headache every time I smell it. Did it do what it was supposed to do, despite the horrible smell? I guess the odour was reduced somewhat, but I do not feel like it eliminates the odour, it just masks it, the same way every other air freshener on the market does. I have actually smelt someone using this in a public restroom. It didn't make what the person is doing in there a secret since the entire building smelled like V.I.Poo.....people still know you are s#$@ing! Anyone who has ever used it will recognize that smell in a second so it somewhat defeats the purpose of trying to hide what you were doing in the bathroom. I would be willing to try another similar product to compare, but I have removed the Rosy Starlet from my house.
Effective of masking odor
Got the Rosy scent V.I.Poo. It does not necessarily smell like rose it's more like a musk, powdery smell.
You spray it into the toilet bowl before doing your business. It really does it job of masking the odor. It doesn't smell like it's mixing the odor and the pleasant smell. It's a small bottle so it's handy to put into your bag if you need to go to the washroom somewhere other than your home. It's not necessarily cheap for this size of a bottle so I would not use it at home.
Mixed review
V.I.Poo seems like a great concept but it wouldn't be a household staple. I would use it for a travel accessory as it would be a good for using guest bathrooms. The smell is pleasant but you still have to flush quickly, just like if you didn't have it. Spraying an air freshener after would be just the same, maybe not as subtle. I probably wouldn't buy it again
Added to our cleaning products
I got this product for free through the mail and rebate program they offered, and it was around $8.00 I was surprised on how small the spray was but you do not need to use a lot - therefore it should last a long time.
Je n'y croyais pas vraiment
Quand j'ai vu les annonces au début j'étais très sceptique sur l'efficacité de votre produit mais je me suis quand même laissé intriguer.Quel ne fut pas ma surprise quand je me suis rendu compte que ça fonctionnait bel et bien et que l'odeur qui se dégageait n'etais pas nauséabonde.J'aime bien celui au citron et a la lavande mais je n'aime pas celui a la rose
Recommend!
It makes my bathroom smells fresh. It has a long lasting scent. Despite the fact that it comes in a tiny bottle itll sure will last more than 3 months.
Makes my Kid smell like flowers
I received this product in the mail and i was expecting it to not work at all but to my surprise it works very well! My son smells like someone died after he goes to the bathroom but for the past 6 months has been nothing but flowers!! Will definately buy it when i run out!
Just a bit...meh
I'm not a huge fan of the scent of this one, the problem is that when combined with that 'poop' scent, it doesn't really cover it up so much as combine with it to make a weirder scent that lingers for a longer time. If I had to describe the smell alone, I'd say it smells like if you took a bunch of Britney Spears perfumes, mixed them together and added a dash of teenage girl with just a hint of glitter covered grandma. I like sweet smells, but this one is just a bit...meh and unfortunately when combined with the smells you're covering up, smells funky.
I like that it doesn't leave an oily film the toilet or cause any staining, but I found the 'spray' mechanism to be infuriating when using it at any sort of angle (like when you have to stick it inside the toilet to avoid spraying the seat). I think a 'dropper' formula would make more sense. I also find the bottle is on the small side compared to other products like this I've used. Presumably this is to make it portable, but honestly I would never take this to someone else's house. I suppose as a woman you would have to excuse of maybe having put on perfume in the bathroom to explain the smell, but a man would be hard pressed to explain why the bathroom has a weird 'cover up' scent. Depending on how stinky your number two's are, though, that might be preferable.
SUMMARY

+ Doesn't stain or leave oil in the toilet once flushed.
Cons
- Smell is not great and combines with poop to make a longer lasting 'funky' smell than just using air freshener.
- Spray bottle doesn't work well at all.
- Small bottle.
