SHANDLEous

Dear Shandle People,
Thank you for sending me a free "shandle". Unfortunately, I wont be able to review your product at this time.

I DID recieve your Shandle and it DOES seem like a good idea: a little antimicrobial handle that you stick to the toilet seat so "you'll never have to touch the seat again."

I WAS really hoping it would encourage my oldest to put the seat back DOWN after peeing and the middle child to put the seat UP before peeing.

I also appreciated that mine came with a pro-hand-washing message.

UNFORTUNATELY, when I went to install it on the bottom of the toilet seat, I found that all the toilet seats in the house have a half inch thick lip running around the edge. To give the appearance that the seat is thick and not cheap and thin like it is.

So I thought, "well, I'll just stick it to the lid. At the very least, maybe it will remind the boys to wash their hands." I stuck it to the lid and washed my own hands. So far, so good.

10 minutes later, Sam went into the bathroom, ripped the Shandle off the lid, and then came to ask me, "What's this Momma?"

The thick foam adhesive was ripped to shreds half on/half off the toilet.

And that was the end of our Shandle.

And this review.

Thanks anyway,
Emily
