Review: Flippee the Toilet Shield

As I mentioned in a previous post, I don’t like to clean bathrooms. Therefore, I definitely don’t like to clean toilets! (Thankfully DH does the bathroom and toilet cleaning most of the time).

Well, if you’re a mother of a boy, I’m sure you can’t help but cringe whenever there are “misses" and "messes" on the toilet. I’m a mom of one boy with another on the way…but can you imagine being a mom of THREE boys and all the “messes” you’d have to clean up?

Well, Annmarie is a mom of three boys who decided she had enough of the messes, and she created Flippee the Toilet Shield ($24.95).

Here’s her story from her website: "My middle son, recently potty-trained, stood at the toilet of our newly cleaned bathroom. I stood beside him and coached him to hit the water. He tried so hard, but inevitably, he hit that narrow space between the tank and the toilet base like a bull’s-eye. I jumped, startling him, and it went everywhere! Another day of cleaning for mom. But, it wasn’t the first time this happened. We’d been at this for a couple months. It was just the first time I said, “There’s gotta be a better way!” I spent the next 2 hours drawing up my invention.


There were four features I wanted for my product: easy to clean, easy to store, easy to use, and a quality, space-saving design. Flippee™ has them all!"


Flippee does indeed have all of these features:

• Easy to clean: Just spray it with a cleaner (of course I use method) while it’s in the upright position, wipe it down, and that’s it!
• Easy to store: When not in use, The Flippee easily stores at the base of the toilet. It does not get in the way at all. In fact, most times I forget it’s even there.
• Easy to use: Just “Flip” and “Pee”. What could be easier than that?
• A quality, space-saving design: Save space it does, as you don’t need to find space in your closets or cabinets for it since it’s stored on the toilet base.

Installation is a breeze. Just lift up the toilet seat, position the Flippee, and press down on the suction cups. You may have to reposition the Flippee, as I had to, if you find the Flippee doesn’t clear the toilet when bringing it down to the storage position. Despite the repositioning, I still installed it in a matter of SECONDS. Literally. It was that quick and easy!

And how well does it work? Really well, as the Flippee does help in preventing “messes” from “misses.” I even tested it out myself…with a water-filled spray bottle.

I used both the “stream” and “spray” adjustments on the nozzle, and there was no mess on the toilet either time. When I put the Flippee back in the storage position, any liquid that remained on the shield was caught in the Drip Lip, so there was no mess on the floor. If however, there is any liquid on the shield while in the upright position, I would recommend wiping and cleaning it before putting it back in the storage position, since the Flippee may touch the base when in the storage position, and the liquid may get onto it.

If you have one boy or three boys (or more) and are tired of the “misses” and “messes,” get the Flippee. It’s a small price to pay for such a big time (and sanity) saver.
