Dry Toilets

How the dry toilet works

The bag toilet is one of the dry toilets because no water is needed when using it. Either a foldable frame or a bucket can be used as a toilet bowl. A bag is hung in it to collect the droppings. Solid and liquid matter can then be absorbed and pooled by an absorbent pad or some kind of substrate, such as bark mulch or coconut fibre. This prevents the formation of odours. If you use the bag only once, you can do without litter. The full toilet bag with the excrements can finally be disposed of with the residual or household waste.

Environmentally friendly toilet

A dry toilet is the comfortable and practical solution for all campers in tents, caravans, motorhomes and also on boats, in gardens and at festivals. They are particularly environmentally friendly, as no water or sanitary additives are needed. As a simple toilet, dry toilets can be set up without any installation effort and are therefore a practical and inexpensive alternative to chemical toilets.

Bag toilet with substrate

Classically, bucket toilets also belong to the category of bag toilets, as a bag is usually hung in. In principle, however, this is not necessary. If you clean the bucket toilet after use, you can do without the bag and just use the substrate. Suitable substrates are sawdust, bark mulch, small animal litter or cat litter.

Compact & portable

Folding toilets are particularly practical because they fold compactly and are portable. They rarely weigh more than 3 kilograms and many models are only 5 centimetres high when folded. Thanks to their compact dimensions, dry toilets fit under almost every bench seat in the van. Nevertheless, the sturdy construction can withstand loads of up to at least 100 kilograms. Bag toilets are particularly suitable for tent campers. Many anglers and people at festivals also use this uncomplicated toilet.
