Problem: Let’s face it ladies, we’d prefer not to discuss what happens in the restroom. But at one time or another we’ve all had an embarrassing moment in the office loo. Followed by uncomfortable silence at the sink as you slink away from the smell.

Solution: Hold your breath no longer. Carry a bottle of Poo-Pourri ($10, poopourri.com) in your purse and, when necessary, simply spray before you go. The deodorant, made with all-natural essential oils, creates a protective barrier on the water surface, trapping odors and neutralizing the air.  You’ll leave the bathroom smelling like bergamot, lemongrass and grapefruit. Also available in versions for diapers and pets, you may want to stock up for home use as well.
