    Obviously once you take it home you’re supposed to screw off one of these heads and store it somewhere. After a few months/years when the brush head is dirty enough, you go find the clean head and shove it up your ass.

              It’s the difference between a large and a small pathogenic load. It seems as though everyone here believes themselves to be perfect hand washers when they likely are not. You can reduce the chance of an occurrence, but rarely can you completely negate it.

              No, you’d scrub your hands clean after washing the toilet using a toilet brush and gloves because you expect to perform the act many times across your utterly fallible life. Why introduce additional risk and hassle for no benefit? Frankly, obstinately arguing for extra chores, particularly ones involving poop water, doesn’t make sense to me.

                I just think that the head of the brush is a rather arbitrary threshold for when a toilet brush is considered icky or not. The whole thing, including your hands, go into the toilet when you use it. Being able to detach the brush head hand free is a very small but costly improvement. I’d go as far as calling it a false sense of security.

                Also, I wash my butthole when I shower. With my hand.

                  I think one of us might be doing this wrong, as my hands never go into the toilet.

                  But you wipe beforehand, right? So there has to be a certain amount of poo you’re willing to accept and a threshold beyond that. I wouldn’t choose to adhere to your poo threshold, is all.

    The whole thing isn’t actually a toilet brush, while you could use it by itself it’s intended to be a replacement set for an existing ikea toilet brush, it’s two heads and a shaft and you’re supposed to unscrew one of the heads and screw your old handle onto the top of it.

    They just screw both heads on to keep it all together
