      I too have puke buckets. they are prepped with trash bags though.

      puke in bag, bag in trash. fresh bag in.

      bonus for scented bags so you don’t have to smell your puke between dry heaves.

        Doc offices, urgent cares, etc have these little blue plastic bags with a cardboard collar around them, just big enough to go around the outside of your mouth. I call them yack sacks. Grab a few of these the next time you see a dispenser on the wall, keep them in your nightstand, glovebox, etc. They come in very handy.

    For those who have a garbage disposal on your kitchen sink… If you’ve never thought to puke there, give it a shot next time. Turn on the disposal and run the water. Puke disappears immediately, and you can rinse your mouth right after.

      I had the same thought last time I had to throw up.

      I didn’t make it and had a line of throw up on the kitchen floor and all over the cabinets. It was not fun to clean up. :(

    Fun story: I made the exact same joke when someone was showing me a Japanese digital bidet toilet in a bathroom showroom. Turns out I was not the first one pointing this out, the guy told me with pokerface that most of these toilets have a sensor and the wash function only activates when it detects someone sitting on it. Also the nozzle retracts and its not exposed during toilet use and its disinfected with hot water automatically, so probably the water coming from it is just as clean as directly from the tap.

    The more you know…

      It’s trivially easy to activate the sensor by putting your finger on the right part of the seat, on mine you are aware when it happens because there’s a beep. I am terrified of the moment my 3yo figures out where this spot is, because the panel of interesting buttons will suddenly do something, and that something will be Terrible.

    One of the things that’s generally effective when I feel nausea is to wipe my face with a cool cloth. I imagine that spraying water on your face might do similar.

    I was literate right up until I read that comment then my survival instinct kicked in and my mind evacuated the very concept of reading faster than my bowels evacuated the fish that was left out on the counter for a week now I only wish I knew why my fingers keep mashing this glowing rectangle.

    Tbh the hose / sprayer kind is actually super handy for spraying out the bedside puke bucket. You can also use it for removing the large solids from reusable pads or incontinence garments or pet waste on a reusable or very rudely diy’ed puppy pad. I’ve spent so much time working with toilets that have a pull down nozzle for cleaning equipment that it’s just plain handy to have one at home for when the cat pukes on my favorite robe. You can also use it for a lot of types of food waste if you don’t have a garbage disposal.
