Why YSK: there are times when you need to not be stinky. A multi-day outing with friends staying in one house comes to mind. Taking bismuth subgallate will make even your vilest poops and farts smell like absolutely nothing. In the US, it’s FDA approved for that purpose and comes in chewable tablets.

    People should bask in the glory that is my gut fauna leaving behind the potpourri of my people in the bathroom.

    Sorry, I have a hard time coming up with reasons why you should not be stinky in such a case. Do you have a toilet in the middle of the living room on outings? Otherwise who cares? Shit stinks, perfectly normal, absolutely no reason to hide that. People should stop being ashamed for bodily functions instead of medicating them away.

    I carry a lighter. Burn it a bit before you leave the bathroom and it will get rid of most of the smell. I prefer this to taking some sort of medication.
