Our top pick, Cuddy, is a composting-style toilet that kickstarts the composting process so you can transfer the solids to a proper compost pile to finish breaking down over time. It’s eco-friendly, easy to use, and doesn’t add to your household waste. Perfect for off grid living.
- Urine-diverting and solids-agitating design keeps things dry and odor-free.
- A built-in fan helps with ventilation, and can easily be wired into a 12V off grid power system.
- The urine indicator light tells you when to empty the urine bottle.
- Compact design fits in almost any space.
- Optional external venting and urine drain-away kit for more permanent placements.
Other Off Grid Toilet Options
Don’t get us wrong, all four of our toilets are designed to be self-sufficient and sustainable. Each model has its strengths. Cuddy (in our opinion) just happens to offer the best balance of comfort, compostability, and off grid readiness.
Here’s where our other off grid toilets might be a better fit:
- Cuddy Lite: Perfect for short-term use, like a hunting cabin or an off grid tiny vacation home. Since no external power is needed, it can also double as a camping toilet or emergency toilet.
- S1 Dry Flush Sealing Toilet: Excellent for short term or full time use if you prefer a sealed bagging method. And since it’s a separating sealing toilet, it only bags #2’s so there’s less wasted bagging.
- S1 Dry Flush Sealing Toilet – 12V (No Battery): The same S1 with no internal battery. It runs straight off your 12V system, so there’s nothing to charge.
Cuddy Composting Toilet
Our flagship loo with all the bells and whistles a portable composting toilet can have: a built-in fan, a urine indicator light and an easy-turn agitator. Cuddy’s fan draws about 0.2 amps, so it runs happily off a small solar or 12V setup. No septic, no plumbing, no water.
Cuddy Lite Composting Toilet
Stripped down and simplified for an easier bagging experience. No fan, no fuss, just a reliable composting setup for those who like to keep it light. Perfect for camping and shorter trips, or anyone who is looking for the simplest, hygienic, smell-free toilet option.

FAQ
Common FAQs About Our Off Grid Toilets
Will my off grid toilets smell?
Not one from CompoCloset. All of our toilets are urine diverting toilets. Mixing urine with #2 is what creates that gross sewage smell. No mixing liquids and solids = no smell!
Can I compost with an off grid toilet?
Yes! That’s why we love Cuddy for off grid use so much. Composting toilets are the perfect solution for off grid toilet needs.
Can I compost the contents at home?
Yes, with the right setup and patience, humanure composting is a great option for off grid living. Keep in mind that if you are using compostable waste bags, they do not compost the same in a home setup.
How do I empty an off grid toilet?
Liquids can be dumped every few days, solids every 2–3 weeks with Cuddy or every 8–12 uses with Cuddy Lite. For the S1, sealed bags are disposed of as needed and the bin emptied every 2–3 uses.
