I think there is a definate learning curve w/ the thing. Try different angles w/ the dipe and sprayer. I like to keep a container of homemade disinfecting wipes above the toilet and I wipe it down after each poop squirting endeavor.

I spray the area first, the return for a re-spray after I've hit another area. Sometimes it just needs to be loosened up. Also, contrary to what you'd think, the pressure doesn't need to be super high, and the sprayer right next to the diaper. If I keep the pressure fairly low, but hold the sprayer several inches away, it works better, and reduces the "splatter effect".

I love it. I haven't really had a mess yet, and since the mini-shower is in the bathroom between the boys' rooms, a little extra water spray on the toilet rim is not a bad thing at all. :LOL

It takes some adjustment - both in time and water pressure. I DO love my potty pail system, but it did indeed take some time to get used to, so that I could get the water pressure just right for us. This is really a plumbing issue, though, to be fair, and not a water sprayer issue. Keep trying different pressure levels using the adjustment at your variable supply line from your toilet, and you will find what works best for you.

It was posts like these that made me approach my brand new mini-shower, very, very cautiously..... But now I love it. It's made a difference in my laundry routine, and I feel much better about getting virtually all the poop off before it goes in the wash, versus almost none of it off thanks to the peanut butter situation.....

My understanding is that the 300 has the thicker 1/2" stainless hose, and is thus not as flexible and more visible than the mini-shower. So, the mini-shower has a few more bells and whistles. Whether it's worth another $14 or not is probably a matter of how important matching your commode is to you....

Well, my mini-shower is not standard regulation, but it works beautifully for me!

I have three young kiddos who LOVE to play with water, so getting a hand-held unit that attached to the toilet in their bathroom (which is where our dipe changing stuff is) would have been an open invitation to a daily water fight, LOL! Fun for them, but not too practical for mom, you know?

So, I found an alternative for around $17 at Wally World that attaches to the side of my bathtub's shower head. The hose is plenty long enough to reach to the toilet, I can control the flow, and b/c it's coming from the shower, when not used, it's stored up high and out of sight and reach of my curious monkey children

Oh, and after reading Angela's brilliant idea with the bucket several weeks ago (thank you, Angela!), I promptly had DH saw a hole in the bottom of one of my own and have been using it with great success -- the water spray is totally contained, the clothespins mean I don't have to touch the diaper (this is particularly important to a currently 33-wk. preggo mom who gets pretty nauseated at some of her toddler's dipes, ugh!), and the drip-dry feature is a nice bonus, too. I HIGHLY recommend the modified bucket as an addition/enhancement to your minishower system!

I store my bucket in the bathtub in between uses.

I have not purchased a mini shower because I know my older three children would have a hayday with a hand held water sprayer at their fingertips. The only bathroom that I would ever use a mini shower in is also the bathroom that guests use in our house and my children use throughout the day. Fortunately, Spencers poops tend to be nuggets and they just roll off the dipe.

Can someone tell me how the hell to install mine???
I have to buy a soft hose and I walked into the hardware store looking like a freaking moron! (yeah, tell them you are installing a hose to your toilet!)
So I got a line and it is too small??? It doesnt screw onto my mini shower. I havent taken apart the toilet but I think I might flick off the water and bring everything in with me and find some cute guy to help me out.

I'm expecting it to be all that. I dont understand how a solid food fed 18 month old can have such clingy poop multiple times a day. No wonder the poor dude has a bright red bum (teeth HURRY UP!!!)
