Cuddy Lite: The Best Portable Toilet

  • Ultra-Lightweight & Compact: Easy to carry, move, and store.
  • No External Power Needed: Only needs one 9V battery.
  • Odor-Managed: Urine diversion eliminates smell.
  • Quick Setup & Emptying: Ready to use in minutes, with simple solids and liquids disposal.
  • Budget-Friendly: Affordable without sacrificing quality.
  • Upgradable: Start out simple, upgrade to a sealing toilet later with our dry flush adapter kit.

Cuddy Lite’s simple design makes it perfect for short trips, off-grid adventures, emergencies, and anywhere you need a grab-and-go toilet solution.

Other Camping Toilet Options

Cuddy: For Longer Trips & Lower Maintenance

If you want more time between empties and the option to compost your solids, Cuddy adds a solids agitator and fan to kickstart the process for you. It’s ideal for extended use on the road, in a tiny home, or even on a boat!

S1: No Handling, No Hassle

The S1 wraps and seals each #2 in a hygienic bag. No touching contents, ever. Great for when you still want a private toilet, and have easy access to waste disposal like a managed campground. The best part? It still separates liquids and solids so you only need to “flush” for #2, saving you bags and eliminating excessive trips to the garbage bin.

Common FAQs about Our Portable Toilets

What makes Cuddy Lite the best camping toilet?

Cuddy Lite is our lightest, most compact model. It only requires one 9V battery to operate, is easy to carry, and simple to set up anywhere.

How does Cuddy Lite control odor without a fan?

As a urine diverting toilet, it eliminates the mixing of solids and liquids, which is the primary culprit of that icky sewage smell.

How often do I need to empty a portable toilet?

It will depend on how many people are using it. On average, Cuddy Lite needs a fresh bag every 8–12 uses, and Cuddy lasts two people 2–3 weeks. The S1 seals about 20–25 #2s per liner roll, and you empty its solids bin every 1–2 uses. For urine, you’ll need to empty every 2-3 days (more often if more people are using it). With the urine indicator light on all three models, you’ll never have to worry about the urine bottle overflowing!

What’s the difference between Cuddy Lite and the regular Cuddy?

The main differences are:

  • Cuddy Lite: Lighter, no fan, no agitator, no external power needed, lowest price, most portable.
  • Cuddy: Built-in 12V fan (runs off your 12V system or the wall adapter), built-in agitator, longer time between empties.
How do I dispose of a portable toilet’s contents?

For CompoCloset’s portable toilet models, urine goes down a toilet, at a dump station or onto soil by a mature tree. Check local rules.

Depending on your model, solids are either emptied into a compost pile, bagged and disposed of responsibly, or bagged and sealed and added to regular household waste.

“Very personal attention from support and sales teams!”

“Took a bit to get to writing but I wanted to be sure. That said, this S1 is the best overlanding toilet setup I’ve ever used, my wife and I both love it. The convenience of it is remarkable, once it’s set up it just works perfectly, simple as that. It feels robust, very stable to sit on, definitely can see that it is very well made. Definitely worth the wait!”

“So much easier to avoid the stinkies than the ole "bucket" style competition.”
