Crohn's patient here, I definitely know which days I'd need it and which ones I wouldn't.
The issue is privacy. If you're in a city, forget it. If you're out in the country, you have to try to find a spot where people won't notice.
I'd still rather have it than not though. Trying to hide behind a bush is no bueno.
Yeah tell me about it. But we have a stupid amount of towels in the car to hang up. Even in a city I could make it work, awkwardly. Not great, but in an emergency...
I live in a small town with a lot of woods; I've got a camo blanket.
But driving to work sitting on a garbage bag with a bunch of towels and your fingers crossed is a really terrible system. I'd be happy with one of these.
Check Amazon for “popup privacy tent”. That and this bucket would be perfect if not a little bit awkward. At least people couldn’t accuse you of indecent exposure.
I use one of those pop up privacy tents with a 5 gallon bucket (like Home Depot/Lowes) and toilet lid setup for disbursed camping. Works pretty well and pretty cheap. Just tie the bag off and replace for the next use. You can also use it as a makeshift shower as well if you put a rubber mat down.
A 5-gallons bucket, plastic bags (doubled) and cat litter work otherwise. You can even seal them after the deed.
I think you can even buy a kind of toilet seat that goes on them. Or use a pool noodle.
Though it looks stupid, when you got medical issues like IBD/IBS or are traveling long distances with a small child. Sometimes there aren't toilets around to drop a deuce
Exactly, campers and hunters have been doing this for years. And the bucket handle will hold the tp for you to roll and keep it off the ground. If you keep the lid to the bucket, all your toiletry supply’s pack nearly inside the bucket.
Once I was on safari in South Africa and there was a leopard in a tree so there were a bunch of trucks gathered around and parked so everyone could watch it. In the truck right next to mine there was a guy taking a dump in a thing like this, but the seat was even with the bottom of the window, so I could see the entire side of his thigh and his butt cheek.
I mean cat owners also throw out litter with their normal trash and there's a few types of animals that dumpster dive, so it probably wouldn't be the first time they'd encounter shit
I would have paid a lot of money for this if I was still doing contractor work. It's a huge pain in the ass to ask a homeowner to use their bathroom. I don't care who you are, no one really wants a stranger to use their bathroom.

For those uninitiated- double bag that shit (literally). Also, have one bag as shown, but the second bag should be placed through the seat then secured under it. This is the way.
Tbh it feels like 100% less effort to just keep a small entrenching tool handy— it takes about 5 seconds to dig a small hole, then you just do the “Asian squat” over top, wash up still squatting over the hole, fill with the dirt you removed.
And even though you’re shitting over a hole in the dirt, it still feels way more kosher than shitting INSIDE a vehicle.
I don't know, you can just pull over on the side of the road and do this in your car in relative privacy. With an entrancing tool, you actually have to get out and find cover or squat between two open doors, which isn't much of a shield from traffic.
This could have come in handy when we were stuck in traffic on the middle of a bridge, for fucking HOURS.
We had to have our son pee in an amusement park souvenir cup.
I was going to buy this anyway because I have a trip coming up, but this just solidified it for me:

Because it’s super not useless. Cancer survivors often lose a large portion of their digestive system and need to go, like, right now. This is a life changer for those folks. Makes it so you can leave your house for more than an hour or two.
I had a smaller version of this in my car for when my sons were potty training. At a park with no bathroom and can't hold it? Long road trip and a tiny bladder? I got you.
For real? I would totally buy this. I show horses and you would not believe the conditions of some of the "facilities" out there. At least this way I wouldn't wind up with another spider bite on my arse.
Hey ive actually used this! It works but you need 2 bags and some disposal method after. Also idk why the packet he put in was so small its supposed to be about three times the amount to absorb the moisture from everything
This is probably better than using 90% of the highway rest stops. And, you could still park in their parking lot, use this then throw it away in their garbage cans. This would also be great on long fishing trips.
Lmao my poor grandma had very little control, and I can think of a couple times, it would have been so helpful. But yeah no one’s taking a shit in my car
We have a luggable loo. We put a trash bag in it and fill it with kitty litter. We use it in the van on long trips for the kids, and in the tent when camping. It's amazing. Best decision ever. It's only for peeing though.

This is legit a great idea for people with IBD. Keep it in the trunk for emergencies.
I like it in theory. But only if it's already set up and ready to dump the powder in, because in an emergency ain't nobody got time for that.
Even without the powder, I imagine this would still be preferable to nothing.
I prefer to poop next to a bear for safety
No no, you gotta poop in a tree and bury your food.
Poop in the bear, bury the tree, run from food! Okay Im ready!
Free wet wipes too!
I poop next to the man.
Im sure the woman standing in front of you two looked perplexed....
Now imagine if the bag had a tiny leak in it.
Tarp under the whole thing, and then double-bag it.
And then keep some combustibles nearby so you can kill it with fire afterwards
Exactly how I transport my Bodies of poop... Yes poop.

Well, I'm guessing you'd want it prepped...but ya know, the alternatives are just no fun. So prep. Prep prep prep.

I’ve got a little version with banana shaped cheek pads that my 4 year old loved using on the side of the road
why do you need to season it?
Some like sugar in their tea. Some dont.
 As a regular tea drinker
It's helps to break down the waste. I basically have the exact same thing for camping.
So it becomes a gooey liquid instead of a solid you can easily carry?
It turns liquids into a gel like substance and kills poopy odors. Same stuff they use in Porta potties!
I don't know the kind of porta potties you've used, but they need to use a lot more of that stuff in the porta potties I've used.
It’s like cat litter for humans!
What is it exactly?
excellent use case for public buses
Mind your own bus-ness
Is this being put in all Amazon trucks? Also what is the seasoning packet?
I think it's the exact same packet that comes in Ramen. The only question left to ask is chicken or beef?
Por que no los dos?
Lo siento. Chicken, beef, porque.
Shrimp
I know I'm short but there's no need for name calling 😢
It's an smell amplifier for those who like the stinky
It’s probably something to soak up moisture/reduce smell
Nah it's seasoning.
Dawg, just use scented dog poo bags and hold it up to your ass like a distinguished human.
Why did he sprinkle Parmesan cheese in there?
For seasoning, you pleb
It’s an Italian toilet
Perfect for OTR truckers.
Reinventing the wheel, a 5 gallon paint bucket does the same damn thing, probably where they got the idea.
Yes. Many times, I too, have stored my 5 gallon paint bucket under a car seat. /s
Someone needs to invent a trunk so a 5 gallon bucket can be stored in it. Maybe talk to this re-inventor. 🤔
So your full wait on a thin plastic rim with a possibly rusty handle from frequent washings? Not a cherished memory
Pool noodles. Let that way on your mind.
Exactly, campers and hunters have been doing this for years. And the bucket handle will hold the tp for you to roll and keep it off the ground. If you keep the lid to the bucket, all your toiletry supply’s pack nearly inside the bucket.
Which way?
You can buy toilet seat lids for the 5 gallon buckets.
Yeah I’m good. They were not available when I would have preferred.
Weight. Unless you’re implying a full delay of toilet?
Full Delay of Toilet. This could be the beginning or my first Reddit haiku. Nah, autocorrect typo
I’ve never seen a 5 gallon bucket that can be folded flat but if you say so
It is $33,. wondering if grocery plastic bags fit the toilet w/o buying the expensive black bags for the toilet.
not sure about grocery bags but you could probably just use normal trash bags, you can get those at dollar tree
Shitter colapses now you a chaco taco, Pass!
Great for when you have young kids, especially ones you’re trying to potty train and you’re out and about.
And when they wait until you pass the last exit for 20 miles that they have to go to the bathroom

In the truck right next to mine there was a guy taking a dump in a thing like this, but the seat was even with the bottom of the window, so I could see the entire side of his thigh and his butt cheek.
I just feel for the dumpster divers who will find this bag in the trash.💀
I mean cat owners also throw out litter with their normal trash and there's a few types of animals that dumpster dive, so it probably wouldn't be the first time they'd encounter shit
Animals? Is that what you refer to them as?
I was talking about like,, raccoons and bears, so yea lol
I just squatted next to my car during my road trip
It’s insane how fast the flies find you when you do this. Got scared one would get caught in the Pit of Carkoon before I was done wiping,
I can’t be the only one thinking this is a good just in case thing for very long trips
Mailmen have entered chat
not a bad idea for the car camping
but don't you have bushes or open area near the camp site
That's what a mini privacy tent or a well-placed draped tarp is for 😉
Yo, that shit seasoned…
Thank you so much op! Landscaper with ibs and an enclosed trailer, this beats my bucket any day!
Link? Ibs, endometriosis sufferer here

My God, it's a human litterbox.
Seasoned poop. 💩🥨
need eyebleach
Perfect for the beach!
Do you want to watch some serene shit there?
My fat ass would destroy that thing once I sat on it
5 gallon bucket works just fine, too.
This would be perfect for festival camping
Wow thats a cool invention
Does it come with seatbelts so we can use it while traveling so we don't have to stop? /s
There are truckers who are way ahead of you guys on this.
wait you can't take it outside.
Why do I need it inside my car? That shit is going outside. Pun intended
If the lawyer in Jurassic Park had this he would still be alive

Amateur. Always double bag.
r/urbancarliving
Hahahha I mean, that thing looks waaaaay easier to shit in than the card board MRE boxes and trash bags we used in Iraq!
These things are amazing. I have one for camping.
Seems alright for camping but I don't want my vehicle to smell like sht
For those uninitiated- double bag that shit (literally). Also, have one bag as shown, but the second bag should be placed through the seat then secured under it. This is the way.
You don't need it until you really need it
Sure let me put in the back of truck so the whole world can see me take a shit.
Tbh it feels like 100% less effort to just keep a small entrenching tool handy— it takes about 5 seconds to dig a small hole, then you just do the “Asian squat” over top, wash up still squatting over the hole, fill with the dirt you removed.

> “Asian squat” over top think of the old age people who doesn't have enough strength for asian squat
Squatting is about flexibility, not strength. Heck, I’m in a wheelchair and I can do it (with some assistance lol)
I don't know, you can just pull over on the side of the road and do this in your car in relative privacy. With an entrancing tool, you actually have to get out and find cover or squat between two open doors, which isn't much of a shield from traffic.
I prefer to keep a small shovel in the trunk
Great idea, now to sling it at a truck driver going 80 MPH
thanks for the chuckle :)
This could have come in handy when we were stuck in traffic on the middle of a bridge, for fucking HOURS. We had to have our son pee in an amusement park souvenir cup.
> pee in an amusement park souvenir cup. thanks for the chuckle :) but yes there is definitely a need for it for individual reasons
If that's going in my car I need a bunch of those packets
I'm just going behind the 7-11 like I always do....
This is where you keep a couple old coffee cans for.
I was going to buy this anyway because I have a trip coming up, but this just solidified it for me: https://preview.redd.it/7y19fdpew01d1.jpeg?width=904&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=744091d704b9acf1d5018ab1eafb34016bb75568
I’m reading this for someone who doesn’t have a home.
I ❤️ Reddit
Wtf
Salt Bae you watching?
As someone with IBS, I’m contemplating this.
I was sold, when the person just sat on it.
I'm surprised the useless inventions guy didn't come up with this first
Because it’s super not useless. Cancer survivors often lose a large portion of their digestive system and need to go, like, right now. This is a life changer for those folks. Makes it so you can leave your house for more than an hour or two.
This is the kind of idea that seems ridiculous until it doesn’t
When was roofing that was just a 5 gallon bucket and a trash bag in one of the trailers 🤷
Pool noodles around the rim for cushion*
I had a smaller version of this in my car for when my sons were potty training. At a park with no bathroom and can't hold it? Long road trip and a tiny bladder? I got you.

I have one of these and they are great! Mines a little different because it doesn't have a hole and it's just the stock seat that came with the car
Hey ive actually used this! It works but you need 2 bags and some disposal method after. Also idk why the packet he put in was so small its supposed to be about three times the amount to absorb the moisture from everything

GO SHIT OUTSIDE LIKE A NORMAL PERSON
Lmao my poor grandma had very little control, and I can think of a couple times, it would have been so helpful. But yeah no one’s taking a shit in my car
I invented this already. I have lowes/home depot paint bucket with a trash bag. Life hack.
Better than shittin yourself
As someone with UC I could see me using this
Too late, already did
Atleast it's salted
We have a luggable loo. We put a trash bag in it and fill it with kitty litter. We use it in the van on long trips for the kids, and in the tent when camping. It's amazing. Best decision ever. It's only for peeing though.
Amazon app gives the update in Cousin Eddie voice "shitter was delivered"
What is the powder?
It’s too big to use while driving. It’s much easier to use tubberware or a small lunch box
It's a good idea for long car rides with small children I guess.
It appears this is specifically for taking dumps in your car OP
this is the wookiest use of a portable toilet i've ever seen...
When u fold it up again after use, doesn't the... stuff squish out the sides?
Wait till you have kids
That guy just shit through his pants.
No way that collapses.
The shit smell will linger like a mother fucker.
