Bio Pods - no longer effective

So we had bought Bio pods from Aldi or Lidl and used them very successfully.  This trip out we needed to buy a new supply so bought a pack of 12 from Waitrose.

The smell has been horrendous, so much so I bought another 12 Ariel ones to see if it made a difference.? I'm afraid it hasn't and it looks like we will be returning to regular toilet fluid.

Has anyone else had this?

Trying the bio tabs from lidl for first time. Working fine for me. As David suggests maybe the formulation?

For us there is less odour than with the toilet fluid that I was using.

agree with the above....

been using Lidl pods for quite a while, but (as we have a new Aldi nr us)  tried a pack of Aldi....IMO not quite as good, but fine.....now back on Lidl Bio, works fine.

Formil Biological Capsules .......... no conditioner with these. First trip using them so not sure on dosage. Presently we have been on facility sites for 3 weeks and mainly loo used for number ones. Using one capsule. Not sure whether to double the dose for non-facility sites  laughing

We have been trying out the Lidl Formil pods on this trip and have found they work well,  we use  our own toilet most of the time.

OH did not tell me the first time she used a bio pod, and I cannot say I  noticed any difference until I came to empty the cassette......the colour was different!

I think we will be continuing with the bio pods, certainly a good saving over the blue.

We've just bought some to try them out, going away soon without EHU or facilities. They work out at 13.5p each. Not convinced yet but will try them. smile
