I don't mind it. I need light and a little night light works fine but if somebody gave me this as a gift, I'd accept cheerfully and w/o thinking about regifting

I have family member with this. I am not a fan.

I have day/night sensored nightlights all over this house, and a very pretty candle stick lamp in the bedroom with a 7 watt bulb, housewarming gift. It's just enough light to get up and into the bathroom during the night, it's only been turned off once in 5 years to change the bulb, is on 24/7.

But I can't imagine wanting a bulb in my toilet bowl. It's not into the bowl that I need to see ;)

Speak up if I'm mistaken... but only women commenting... wouldn't a male want to see the bowl, but keep the overhead light off to let their significant other sleep?

;)

Jim, you wanna weigh in?

TMI

LOL!!! DH often sits to pee in the night. He says that way we doesn't have to keep his eyes open.... jut do it and get back to bed.

We seldom pee in the night. If so, we use the bathroom down the hall. Our lights are on dimmers so no stark brightness at night.

I remember seeing the tv commercial for this last year and thought it looked like nightclub lighting for the bathroom, just missing the music lol.

Someone apparently thought there was a need, possibly because the room light woke them, or their partner, up too much. During my rare night visits, I've probably been awake long enough to mull whether or not I could fall back asleep and make the trip in the morning instead. In which case, I'm probably going to be awake for a while afterwards anyway. If using the other bedroom/separate bathroom, that bathroom has an after-dark night light so it would be unneeded. I'm in agreement with morz8; not very uninterested in having a light to highlight a view into the bowl.

Sounds like a spiffy idea if you're potty training a little guy. Just have him aim for the light. :) Should help speed things along. Come to think of it, there's an old man that lives in my house. I suppose it could inspire him to aim for the light too. :/

Clearwaters that is similar what DD did. They used it for a time to make the toilet fun and interesting for the kids to want to use it more frequently leading to less accidents.

It's cheaper, simpler to toss in a few cheerios and have the little guy aim for them. More fun too!

We have one of those upstairs! I put one In my sons (17 at the time) Christmas stocking. He likes unusual items and is a night owl. It's pretty cool I think, the light is not harsh and bright. My bedroom is downstairs. I rarely get up at night. I'm trying to think what I do. I don't think I turn on any lights so DH remains asleep.

Brushworks - Kids are a girl and a boy. It wasn't about aim. It was about adding a little inexpensive fun to the decor for the kids.

If you aren't 'getting up to go' at night yet, just wait. You will. If all users 'sit', you probably don't need this. DH and I each have a penlight beside the bed. The lighted bowl is fine, but you have to get to and from it, safely, without waking your quieted brain.

I remember reading a statement by a southern lady that was published in an etiquette column. She was upset that a male guest in her home had obviously urinated while standing. She'd taught her now adult boys that no *gentleman* urinates while standing unless a urinal is provided. (If only!)

I love it when men sit. I don't need the backsplash on the floor. I've been in homes where the floor is sticky to me, and all I smell is pee.

Men I know who sit, learned to do that when they were out on their own and had to do their own cleaning,

My dentist couldn't wait to get one of these. He and his wife both like it. I always turn on a light to see before I sit. I've read too many stories about people finding all sorts of reptiles or rodents in their toilets.

I have a small lamp with a dim bulb on the toilet tank. And a night light by the sink. I always have to leave some lights on. Can't handle complete darkness.

As far as I'm concerned if women are sleeping in the bathroom they accept the risk of being awakened by the light when I go in there. It's a gimmick that I think is laughable and further advertises the gullibility of people.

The toilet light was on Shark Tank. Kevin O'Leary bought into it. He knows there's a sucker born every minute and likely to buy anything.

In a discussion with a pearishioner family ... or were they "former parishioners" at the time? ...

... the lady of the house, who had a husband and two male teens, said that the instruction/ultimatum? that had been issued in her house was that whoever didn't sit down to pee...

... cleaned the bathroom.

ole joyfuelled

that whoever didn't sit down to pee...

... cleaned the bathroom.

That is certainly a slippery slope, as it would be difficult to find the miscreant if no one confessed.

Marcy - my hubby too, lol

This is the type of product that produces some of Amazon's best comments and questions:

Will this product lead to spontaneous bathroom parties?

Absolutely, and it's a possible portal to another universe

This is a serious question. How will this work on a black toilet?

I'm not sure how I feel about this. Black toilets matter too.

Does this also warm up the seat? Because then it could be called glowbowl warming.
