i get embarrassed about my own bodily functions and smells, like this weekend i had someone over and while he was in my master bedroom's bathroom doing whatever he was doing in there, i went to my son's bathroom instead of using the hallway bathroom to do my business. it doesn't bother me so much when someone else has to go and i have to smell it. not saying i like it, but it doesn't really bother me because it is natural and normal. but i do get embarrassed about myself. i have had that poopouri stuff in my bathroom but it is expensive. i'm going to try the recommendation to get a spray bottle and put essential oils in it! i have some essential oils already, so i'm going to give that a try. just because...well...i don't even like to leave the bathoom all stinking if i am home alone, just because the smell...ugh. weird, i know.
what i really hate is if i'm at a party or at someone's house or there is a single bathroom somewhere (restaurant, for example) and i am waiting to go in the bathroom to pee, or use it after someone had just recently been in there, someone comes out who has stunk up the bathroom and then i have to go in and use it and then when i come out someone else goes in right after me. i want to say to them "it wasn't me!!!" haha!
This is one of the most hilarious threads ever on C-D; thanks for the laughs and the info about Poo-Pourri!
Just in case the OP was being serious ... Just wait until your Significant Other has had surgery and can't clean himself after defecation, and you have to do it for him. Now that's love.

Poop...potty??? 14 pages of mostly childlike discussion about a bodily function. I mean, really...most of you sound like 4 year olds discussing it.
For the uniformed (or immature), the proper terminology is "defecate" (or even "bowel movement" ), "feces" or "excrement" ....and "urine" or "urinate" instead of pee pee.
I get joking but adults reducing themselves to such baby talk is embarrassing.

The problem is that the English language has no acceptable everyday terms for feces elimination, that aren't sciencey, childish, crass, or swear words. "Defecate" is a medical term. "Poop" is kindergarten talk. "Pinch a loaf" is crass. And "[4-letter word]" is a TOS violation. So what's a person to do? "Go #2" is the closest we have to a casual expression that's precise but still acceptable in polite company. Most people just say "use the bathroom/restroom", and let others figure out from context when they stay there for more than 10 minutes. That, or walk in with a newspaper tucked under their arm.

My youngest sister went through an awkwardly funny phase at about age 7 learning how to handle this. When she happened to be in some group and the moment came, she tended to tell my parents exactly what she needed loud enough for everyone to hear. A little awkward. So, my mother tried to teach her a more genteel way to excuse herself. She suggested that my sister "make the announcement" to her privately so she could be excused/escorted away. It backfired. My sister took the advice too literally. She would hop to her feet, walk to the center of the room and say "I have to make an announcement!" in her firm clear kid's voice. Everyone would look at her expecting something grand, but she would then turn around and promptly trot right out of the room. It was mystified and confused numerous guests, friends, relatives, people in restaurants and other public places. Thank goodness she grew out of THAT little phase fairly soon.
