LOL LOL Bit of overkill there I think. I don't wear any gloves. I am not touching chemicals am I? chemicals go in the container not on my hands. I just wash my hands after emptying the loo

I can't be doing with rubber gloves; I only have very small hands so find rubber gloves more of a hindrance than a help.
I've spent over 22 years working as a cleaner in many different commercial environments, some where all the employees have been male, and in that time I've cleaned many toilets on a regular basis, ranging from the spotless to the downright disgusting, and I've never worn rubber gloves yet. And I'm never ill either. Therefore it's no big deal to empty my own loo when camping; as above I'm not actually touching the chemicals and I wash my hands afterwards.

That's because he's frightened the poop will jump out and BITE him!! You also see that when walking the dog, saw a chap put a tall bin liner right up to his armpit before he picked up the poop!
As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.
The missus does ours, washes hands after with anti bacterial stuff. I used to do it but not able now, I always just washed me hands afterwards, plenty soap and hot water does the job!
If you feel conspicuous make a feature of it. Get some bright couloured gloves, preferrably with a floral pattern and matching wellies. Who knows, you may even start a trend

I have the body of a greek god - its in my freezer
Had a laugh at some of the replies. My friend is buying me a suit just like that one on ebay lol
Not bothered about my own waste, don't like touching the tube to swill my loo out. Its been down other people's tube too (if you excuse the expression!)
I will wear my disposable gloves with pride from now on.
