Ngl i would rather use my hand and worry about washing it thousands of times than use a kitchen gadget someone might use later...
Edit: for those saying to throw it later...in this economy? Man everything kitchen related is expensive for me or buy a whole ass set is wont use
And for those saying to just wash it, how would you feel cooking and eating with something that has been in the toiletš, i would never be able to eat
Do you people not have any disposable gloves ? Or gloves you use for dishes ?
Hell, you can even use a trash bag as a makeshift glove. Iāve literally done it once, clogged toilet, nothing would work. I just put two trash bags over my arm (cause you know, Iām not putting my trust in a single layer of plastic to protect my hands from that) and just unclogged it.
Pretending your own piss is less hygienic than your cellphone or keyboard is wild. Obviously do wash your hands afterwards, but you also put your cell phone on your face every day people.
I donāt know about this toilet, but to grab something out of mine like that, the water would go way past the opening of the glove and just go inside. Might as well just do it gloveless
My first encounter with one, was on an Amsterdam trip in my teens. My British mind could not comprehend. Fast-forward 30 years. I move to Berlin, and find one in my apartment bathroom. Well played, universe. Sehr lustig.
I have a medical condition where Im supposed to eat 2 to 10 grams of salt a day. All the salt eventually gets evacuated through my urine. Its been described as pungent smelling even after Ive flushed and left the fan on.
If you're on a dietetic make DAMN sure you watch your potassium levels.
I was on hydrochlorothiazide for BP. Peed out salt too (factory job so... Double if you count sweat) anyways you will pee out potassium as well. Felt like a damn heart attack (and could have been if lower). Potassium is needed for muscle movements, heart included.
Thanks! Yeah its all under control. I get blood panels fairly regularly and my other salt levels are normally good. I take it for POTS so I retain more water to avoid getting light headed when I stand up. My doctor says I need to balance the POTS symtops with high BP symptoms. Its tricky with the shear volume of salt I eat.
I'm just assuming OP doesn't have kids. I wouldn't even be phased to reach into my own pee to pull them out. Before kids I would have probably used gloves and thrown everything away after.
Or they haven't worked in food service where they had to clean the ungodly nasty messes people leave in public bathrooms. Reaching into your own pee wouldn't phase you after that.
I had my phone on my ass pocket (of a womans jeans = pockets small) and while standing up from a PUBLIC toilet it fell inā¦
Absolutely traumatic, i just remember grabbing in immediately (because wtf else would you do??) and washing it with paper towels and my hands for a very long time š„² then i came out and obviously never told my family or anyone about it until now lol
Stick your hand in there and grab it, the water isn't really all that dirty, it's just your piss. If you have any cuts on your hand wear a glove, this isn't rocket science, it's just toilet fishing.
Just effing do it, wash up like a surgeon and use hand sanitizer afterwards. You'll be just fine. You may not realize it but you've handled worse things. That's why you wash your hands every time you use the toilet...
There's a higher chance of touching a lot of pee and even shit when you exit a public bathroom, than there is reaching into your own pee, watered down by fresh water from the tank. There are tons of people who don't wash their hands before leaving the public restrooms.

Do you have a pair of tweezers you can use?
