I just don't think I would buy it second hand from someone I don't know. Plus Craigslist people try to sell for the same price as Amazon. avivoca on "Would you use a used potty from a friend?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-a-used-potty-from-a-friend#post-924020 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 18:00:30 +0000 avivoca 924020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I would, I would just clean it well. sarac on "Would you use a used potty from a friend?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-a-used-potty-from-a-friend#post-923971 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 17:51:45 +0000 sarac 923971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I bought mine at a resale store, so clearly. I just washed it with bleach, which I honestly worried more about. beachbee on "Would you use a used potty from a friend?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-a-used-potty-from-a-friend#post-923874 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 17:20:04 +0000 beachbee 923874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes I would. I don't understand the problem if you clean/sterilize it. Then again, I also buy second hand clothes and would buy used cloth diapers and feel comfortable washing them to use for LO.

As long as it's cleaned well, it's probably a lot more sanitary than most toilets out there! pinkcupcake on "Would you use a used potty from a friend?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-a-used-potty-from-a-friend#post-923572 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:53:35 +0000 pinkcupcake 923572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't think I would. Logically I know it doesn't really matter but I don't know... Just a certain Ick factor to it. Plus potties aren't too expensive so I wouldn't mind just buying a new one. heffalump on "Would you use a used potty from a friend?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-a-used-potty-from-a-friend#post-923493 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:34:34 +0000 heffalump 923493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I would, but DH wouldn't. We discussed this after a friend offered us their potty, but we had already bought one.

I don't think it's a big deal. Her pee/poop isn't any more sterile than the previous kid!

So no issues here. 808love on "Would you use a used potty from a friend?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-a-used-potty-from-a-friend#post-923123 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:31:34 +0000 808love 923123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No. I didn't but I loved the BabyBjorn potty we bought. I even changed the toilet seats when we bought our house.

Not that the kid would be gross, but you never know what could come riding on it from someone's house. In other words, like BAO said, if they are clean.lol Bao on "Would you use a used potty from a friend?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-a-used-potty-from-a-friend#post-922531 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 12:36:53 +0000 Bao 922531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ From a friend/relative, if they kept things clean then yes.
