i use a small washing up bowl - less chance of it getting knocked over

we put it in the main part of the tent, and have a dog so we make sure he is zipped safely into his dog bag so he doesnt get curious and fancy drinking it! lol! i have nearly sat on the dog to pee in the middle of the night before so he always stays away in his dog bag now (imagine the disaster that could turn out!)

dont need to use it much, usually once in the night - but was definately handy last year while pregnant as i was getting up at least 6 times in the night to pee, and didnt fancy waddling over to the toilet block every time!

good tip about the kitchen towl to deaden the noise - i must wake people up with the force of the pee hitting the plastic! i've tried various differing angles but it still sounds really loud!

how come i never hear anyone else peeing in buckets on site? and its dead embarrassing emptying it - i never see anyone else doing it!

Mothercare nappy bucket with close-fitting lid , in the outer part of the tent - I have the same problem re wanting to go about 1/2 hr after I get into my sleeping bag.

Nappy bucket is smaller and less tippy than normal bucket but still big enough to take the gas bottle for packing. I also add a few drops of pink elsan liquid but that's not really essential as no-one is allowed to poo in it.

But I might try the She Wees - where do you get them from?

lol just had a look at those she wees on Ebay - I dont think so after Ive had a few drinkies  I have always just walked to the facilities on site but I think this year I might invest in some sort of a port a loo type thing. Have seen one I like on Ebay but a bit expensive with postage I think http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-5232-2978-1/1?AID=9479574&PID=1428744&mpre=http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem&rd=1%26item%3D120226557507&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=002

Which would be better for a number 2 do you all think?  I've got IBS, so not only would I use it for camping, but I might need it for emergencies during the drive to wherever we're going!  Was thinking of the luggable loo or the kampa khazi but is the kampa massive?  Would it fit in the boot of a little micra? Any help appreciated!

KK is not massive but I don't know much about car boot sizes because I've got an estate.

KK looks a lot more stable than LL I thought - can't be much bigger than a cardboard box or something.

I think it would depend on what else you need to get into the boot.  KK is very stable which is why I chose it.  At my age, the balance can go a bit wonky.

KK isn't that big - it only holds a small bucket - its very stable and reassuringly robust. I have sat on it but not actually used it yet... I am 5' 9" and overweight and yes its lower than a house loo but it's not too low for my old, stiff knees to get down to and up from. I also feel confident that Charlie wont tip it over. I dont care now if it rains every night ! I also bought some environmentally-groovy cat litter today in Tesco, it is made from wood pellets so will compost down. Too expensive for a cat, but fine for me and my boys !

Someone told me to line a bucket with a carrier bag, put a nappy in the bottom et voila. Just bin it in the morning.

The nappy would work, but it would be expensive. And nappies are horribly unfriendly things for the environment. I know it wont change the world, I just find myself looking for the less-bad options nowadays.

Totally agree with the nappies being un-environmentally friendly, but I suspect anything that goes into the "black sack" waste is probably going to landfill and won't decompose no matter how environmentally friendly it is to start with, so unless a campsite has composting facilities you could be wasting your money, you might be as well with ordinary cat litter? That being said at least the cat litter probably has a smaller footprint in its manufacture than nappies iyswim unless the impact of being wood counteracts it?

Its so difficult these days being green isn't it???

Well, as I keep saying, the greenest (and perfectly hygenically effective) way is to not put any extra products in the bucket and then rinse it out with plain water and a drop of detergent...Ecover if you prefer.
