Sharing bathroom with boyfriends. Hide odors? Sounds?

Question

I will be moving in with my boyfriend. Is there any way to hide the number 2 smell and sounds? You can hear everything unless you run the faucet!

Answer 1

theres stuff called Courtesy Flush and if u use a drop of it before u go it gets rid of all the smells..im not 100% sure where to get it i have been looking for it and cant find it. try looking online to see where its carried i havent found it at grocery stores, walmart or walgreens (at least the ones in my area) u can also use sprays all though that makes it obvious that ur hiding some kinda smell..maybe add a couple drops of bleach in the bowl after ur done and have flushed..it will get rid of any evidence (sorry to be gross but it happens) and the smell of bleach overpowers any smell u may have made

Answer 2

Well get a bathroom radio and light matches for right now, but honey, if you marry him or end up living together longer than 6 months, it will be common practice just to let it rip no matter if he is there or not. I have been married 11 yrs and after the first year of living together prior to being married he started leaving his clothes in the floor infront fo the laundry basket, in the bathroom, over chairs and furniture and his shoes where ever he stopped. Heck, we don't even shut the door half the time unless it is the stinky or we take a shower. So don't worry honey, everything is not as major as you make it out to be. Believe me, he isn't going to do any of that stuff for very long either. Just learn to wear a mask when you pass the bathroom when he leaves.
Also, the clothes problem will never change nor will the shoes. Also, he will not ever remember to use a coaster or clean up after 6 months. Because traditionally that is your job. LOL (just remember this too - sex is a great tool to get what you need done) train him well and be ready for those little disappointments.

LOL I know how you feel girl........ when I started living alone and my BFs started coming to visit me I think they avoided going #2 in my bathroom as much as they could. Once there was this ex Bf who was holding it because he was embarrased to poop in my bathroom...!!! I told him to do it, and when he came out he wouldn't let me go inside because he said it smelt as if there was a dead animal in there LOL...... I also feel a bit embarrased to poop in someone else's house, but if you have to..... you have to!!! And moreover if this is going to be YOUR bathroom and his, as well. In time it gets less and less important.

I think all my BFs had always been very careful with these matters...... until I met my current one. He passes gas way too often and I started noticing this when he started visiting at my home, about 4-5 months after we started dating. I think he had held it before but then he started doing it in my house (first only in the bathroom, lately just about anywhere, even when we're in bed..... I know, GROSS), which was a bit disappointing because you have this idealized image of your loved one and then realize he's just a mortal like yourself. He first was a bit embarrased to go poop bcuz my place is very small and you can hear everything, so he asked me to turn the TV or the radio on so I couldn't hear him.... now he doesn't care. The other day I went in the bathroom and it smelt sooooo awful..... I just left the door open so it would go away. The candles/matches are a good idea and sometimes really necessary. Most deodorizers do not get rid of the smell, it just gets mixed with the poop's. But don't grant this more importance than it has.... it's not very romantic but get used to it, moving in together is the beginning of "real life".... the fairy tale is over! But it's a nice new stage that can be exciting too!

Hahaha. I'm sure now he'll know women are perfect and aren't all gentle and do have a oder. A lot of men seem to think women don't have bodily functions, but it's probabyl because women are suppose to be a smooth as a babies bottom and smell as a a great as a rose-never sweaty; or as s y! Hahah. Hum..as long as you do courtesy flushes and you air freshner or you lit a candle, the one purposely for the bathroom to take away the stink, then you should be fine. But I mean, we all go the restroom; we all crap and sh1t smells, no one sh1ts smells good-including my hamster's, trust me. So, this is a normal thing to do, and he shouldn't be freaked out, you shouldn't too, it's not like he's watching you take a dump!

Answer 5

If you are grown up enough to move in together, you should be mature enough to except the fact that everyone uses the bathroom for the same reasons! Poke fun at each other once in a while if that makes it easier but lordy! Its normal, unavoidable, and there is nothing worse than some nasty perfume smell mixed with that to make the air really nauseating! If you are that embarrassed maybe you should rethink the situation. Lysol, Oust, and a good sense of humor are about your only saving grace my dear.

Answer 6

I run the faucet. I've been married for eight years. I use the air vent and air freshner. I'm a private person when it comes to my bathroom habits. Some couples are quite comfortable sharing the bathroom, but we're not. We give each other our privacy. I'm sure there will be times sounds and smells will escape but we ignore it. It's really no big deal. Good luck. 2D

Answer 7

Get as can of Oust and keep it in the bathroom. Spray it whenever the need arises- it really works miracles. As far as sounds- I run the faucet or flush the toilet. After a few months of hearing him blast away in the bathroom though, you'll probably not worry so much. (not to sound gross, it's just the truth)

Answer 8

Sigh, if you are ready to move in with your boyfriend, then shouldn't you guys be comfortable enough with pooping in front of each other? I mean, yeah nobody likes the smell or disgusting sounds, but th eonly thing you can do is run the faucet or get used to it For the smell, get a spray air freshner.

Answer 9

As a medical person I say either he is paranoid or sexually addicted. Either he is suspecting under delusion that you are cheating on him so he is invading your privacy or he is just addicted or fetish about seeing women bathing. This only should not be reason to leave him. Almost every men watches porn that does not mean they are not loyal. If he is paranoid and suffering from delusions please help him and beware he may lie. Go and seek help from psychotherapist. Cognitive behavioural therapy may work. Seek help from a good psycotherapist for him yourself. If he is a patient then he is in this condition prone to suicidal thoughts also. Only because of this dont leave him. If you have found other infidelities then what to do is up to you. Build trust.

Answer 10

Put a radio in the bathroom. Keep some matches there, too. For some reason, a lit match gets rid of any smells.
