Has anyone seen this product?
It is a hand-held diaper rinser that hooks up to the toilet. Looks pretty cool. I am always looking for a better way to rinse those poopy clothe diapers!

I shake off the solids, if something is a little extra sticky, I may wipe it into the toilet with toilet paper, then I toss it in the diaper pail till I wash.

We had the mini-shower connected to our toilet. We went to Disneyland for vacation and one day came back to our hotel with a ton of messages that our house was flooded and could our neighbors have permission to move our personal belongings in order to save as much as possible.
The mini shower hose had broken, spraying water into the upstairs bathroom for almost 24 hours! The kitchen ceiling fell completely off, our dining room was in over an inch of water, we lost a lot of books in one of the bookshelves, and on and on and on. If our neighbors had not been coming in daily to care for our hermit crabs, the damage would have been quite extensive. As it was, we needed to move, there was no way to repair the damage while still living there. I was in the house about 30 minutes, packing up craft supplies and grabbing more clothes, and I had such a headache from the smell of mold and mildew.
It ended up being $5000 worth of damage.
So...the mini-shower was the single worst purchase we've ever made.

Oh my!  What a catastrophe!
Thanks for the heads-up on that.

Our story isn't quite as catastrophic as Lorri’s.....
My husband refused to pay $50 (at the time) for a sprayer that he could make himself. So, after many trips to the local hardware store and tubes of pipe-dope to stop the leaks he was proud at his cost savings! 
So, fast forward a few months later to the birth of our first beautiful boy! 
I was such a proud mamma! I confidently strolled into my bathroom to spray off my diaper...no soaking for me! To my amazement the pressure was so great (as DH had used a garden hose) that there was diaper remnants splattered every where in our bathroom. Eventually we had to repaint as the scrubbing did a number on the paint job! 
Anyway I am over my gadget phase and now we don't soak or rinse (just shake) and wash every few days.

I got the parts I needed at Lowe's and hooked the thing up myself. We have never had any problems with leaks. It is just a kitchen sink sprayer that is attached to our toilet. We find it to be so useful even for things other than diapers. As Betsy said, though, it has *tremendous* pressure, so, I recommend getting a feel for how it sprays before using it to spray off a diaper. I love mine!!
I can't remember all the parts I needed (I know there was a T and I think a nipple, as well as the sprayer), but someone in the plumbing department will be able to tell you exactly what you need if you tell them what it is you want to do.

I ordered one online and we actually really like it. It was good for the diapers (once I got the hang of aiming INTO the toilet to avoid messy overspray), but the thing I use it for the most these days is rinsing the bathtub, the pressure gets ALL the grime off.
ETA: Ours has a shutoff valve which I always engage after use so littles can't pull the trigger when I'm not looking and soak the bathroom. So if the hose broke, we wouldn't have a flood. So sorry that happened to someone!

Yep, me, too. The hose broke in a way to make the shut-off valve useless. Our insurance company is going after the manufacturer for damages. Just make sure if you go anywhere overnight, to turn off the water to your house.

I will do that, too! I hope the insurance company gets their compensation.
