I am also a fan of the lobby jobby, deployed at hotels. (Ps Thank you for these important water calculations, but the whole tsunami is easily circumvented by keeping a DAB radio in the bathroom)

Lobby jobby is a truly wonderful phrase. Thank you for introducing that to me.

A DAB is an introducing shout. What station? Or does it depend on the bowel movement?

How do you plug it in? Does your bathroom have standard plugs?

6Music for me, 5Live for husband 🙄. Actually, I think it has Bluetooth so you could listen to anything. Ours is a splashproof, rechargeable DAB radio. Lasts for weeks on one charge.

and do you turn it on regardless if you're plop muffling, or is that its main use case?

i would want to avoid a situation where my partner thinks 'Ah the radio is on - he's 100% pooping'.

IDEA: a radio station that is exclusively the sound or turds plopping. perfect for muffling?

Nah, it’s just on whenever someone’s having a shower or using the loo, so the mystery is preserved. Also, we have two toilets. I do really want to get a Japanese toilet at some point, though; they have a modesty setting that plays waterfall and nature sounds to muffle the sound of “dropping the kids off at the pool”, but also, a heated seat AND an arse-washing spray. Very civilised.
