Choose Cuddy Lite Over Other Toilets
Common Questions
We've heard it all. Here's the honest version.
-
Coco coir bricks are the most popular — compact to store, widely available, and easy to use. Wood chips work well too and don't need rehydrating first. Pine pellets (horse bedding from Tractor Supply) are a popular budget option. Any carbon-rich organic material works fine — Cuddy Lite isn't fussy.
-
Technically, no — waste doesn't break down inside the unit like a full composting toilet. Instead, you use the layering method: add a small amount of coco coir or wood chips after each use, which manages odour and begins a minimal breakdown. The bag is removed and binned every few days. It's simpler and cleaner than a full composting setup — and completely odour-free.
-
Every couple of days for 2 people — roughly 8–12 uses. The retractable cover means the same bag stays fresh between uses. When it's about ⅔ full, tie it off and bin it. Takes under a minute.
-
No power and no external venting required — just a standard 9V battery for the LED urine indicator. That's one of its biggest advantages for van builds where you don't want extra wiring or holes in your van.
-
The Cuddy has an agitator and a full composting system — waste breaks down over time, meaning you can go up to 2–3 weeks between empties for 2 people. Cuddy Lite has no agitator — you bag and bin every few days instead. Cuddy Lite is simpler and needs no power. Cuddy is better for full-time living where longer hold capacity matters.
