What is wrong with my kids poop? Ive always had to scrape at least some of them. No sprayer, though.

I plop J's poop now in toilet even though she is 90% in disposables (poor second child)

You're not alone.  I have three kids who each poop at least 3x a day, and it's NEVER solid enough to just plop out.  I managed to dunk and swish when it was just DS1, but I couldn't handle it after I got pregnant.

The idea of the dunk & swish makes me ill.

Waiwaiwait a second. I just had time to process this. Do you mean you pit your HAND in the TOILET and swish it around like you're playing at the water table?

Gross. No. At least not how I did it. You hold the diaper by an unsoiled edge or corner, and stick it in the toilet. Your hand (and some of the diaper) remains out of the poop water. You can flush the toilet (still holding the diaper) and the agitation of the water will pull most of the poo off. This no longer worked for us when we switched to a low-flow toilet, so the sprayer is key for us. But, no, and no point does your actual hand swirl around in the poo.

And now I need a shower.

No, like mamalysson described, you hang on to some part of it that's not covered in poop and swirl the rest around in the toilet.  But it still sucks.
