How is a wag bag disposed of ?
Do you throw the whole thing away and if so where ie is it classed as 'hazardous' (OHs might be after a curry ! sorry for that image), or are they emptied and reused, and if so do they empty into the normal waste disposal ?
If easy and safe to dispose of, they sound like a good idea for especially rainy days/nights in the lakes.

Obviously you like campsites with facilities ? were not all the same ,some of the best campsites have no facilites except for a hole to empty your loo into and a tap!

No way ,you would empty the loo ??you carry it round inside your body ,how does it change once its left ?

Yes, I much prefer sites with facilities. Toilets and showers are the first thing I look for when checking out another place to go to. You pays your money and makes your choice. As you rightly say, we're not all the same, so as far as I can see one less thing to take to a site in my Seat Ibiza equals 'Happy Days'!

As for emptying the loo, its still a resounding NO WAY! Even if we do carry it around inside our bodies its visibility changes quite dramatically once its out! as far as I'm concerned Man was not made to peer at poo!

I've seen caravanners doing that in the morning. Nah, thats not for me!

The inner bag which contains the 'pooh powder' is sealed into an outer bag and then the whole thing can be thrown away with the ordinary rubbish. Each bag can be used 3-4 times (depends on the quantity of wee as the powder can only absorb so much liquid!!) before you have to throw it away I change ours daily (they are only used at night). All the bags (even the bag they come in) and the pooh powder and contents are biodegradeable and you also get a little supply of toilet paper and a moist towelette with each bag. They're not cheap - but they are wonderful and having used them for about a year now I wouldn't use anything else again. You have to order them over the internet, but the company that supplies them is excellent.

The website is www.thepett.co.uk if you follow the buying online link it takes you to their sister company EPS UK - the WAG bags and toilet system are listed under their Leisure Products. They have always been very quick when I have ordered from them - delivering within a day or two.There is also a review of the system on this site under Features/Tips.

Merry Terrier and lynm are also big fans - I've yet to come across someone who's tried them who doesn't like them.

Thank you so much Jayne

Will have a look now.

Cor blimey, those WAG bags are expensive though!  That's over £2 a jobbie!  You wouldn't want to drink too much wine!

We have a BWL for night time wees and tried the cat litter thing but it didn't work for us.  Maybe we didn't use enough litter.  Will try the Zoflora though!

Bucket and Zoflora for us!

 We like sites with facilities but never found one yet with an en-suite bathroom! I don't fancy trecking across the field at two in morning either. We pack things in the bucket so it doesn't take any extra space, OH empties it but I wouldn't mind, I've changed enough nappies and emptied enough potties.

I like the look of the bags and will be getting some of them. I don't have room for a bucket never mind a porta loo (motorbike camper)

I use a lemonade bottle with the top chopped off (and made smooth) for ermergency no.1s.

I use a BWL when tenting. Was dead impressed with myself the other weekend 'cos I didn't need it, loos weren't too far away from tent and no middle of the night/first thing in the morning emergencies. But they do happen so I would always have it with me JIC.

To those who scorn the idea I would say - just you wait, bladders ain't so predictable as they age!
