Best Portable Toilets of 2025

"I was initially skeptical about the Upgrade XL Portable Toilet, but it truly exceeded my expectations! Being tall, I often feel cramped in standard portable toilets. This one feels like a grand throne! Setting it up was simple, and it’s surprisingly lightweight when folded. The sturdiness gave me confidence, even on uneven ground. I love the generously sized bowl and how easy it is to clean. My kids even turned it into their personal castle!"

"This product is awesome! It holds the weight capacity as described and can double as another seat at my campsite since it doesn’t look like a toilet with the lid down. It’s great as a trash can or even a step stool. Folds up to the size of a briefcase, and I love that it has a compartment for essentials. I use it for camping to avoid midnight trips outside. Plus, I found that pine pellets work wonders for odor control!"

"I bought the Upgrade XL as a temporary solution for a plumbing issue at home, and it has been a game-changer! I was a bit nervous about its stability, but it surprised me with how sturdy it is. It doesn’t leak and is easy to keep clean. I appreciate the travel bag that comes with it, which can hold extra supplies. The side pocket is perfect for keeping everything organized. It’s made a tough situation much more manageable!"

"I just returned from a tent camping trip, and this purchase made a huge difference. The cost is well worth the convenience this will offer for years to come. I was concerned about durability, but this unit supported me perfectly. It felt just like a home toilet. It's compact, easy to set up, and quick to clean. The bucket is deep enough for multiple uses, but I suggest holding the bucket from the bottom when emptying it."

"We bought a cabin without a flush toilet, and we used this in the meantime. My husband said it went together easily without needing directions. The toilet worked well, although the top and bottom didn't line up perfectly in the front. I liked the elongated bowl for comfort and the slow-close lid."

"I never thought I'd say this, but I really like my chamber pot! It's been handy since I broke my ankle, and I plan to keep it close even after I heal. The toilet paper holder is too small for thick rolls, but there's a shelf for narrower ones. The bucket has a ledge to avoid splashes, and the sturdy handle is a plus. It's portable for camping, although the shape is a bit obvious."

"I bought this to use in our gazebo/poolside shed, making it easy to avoid tracking water back to the house. The height is just right for my needs, and I feel secure using it. Flushing is simple, and I’ve found that using an RV deodorizer really helps manage odors. Cleanup is easy for me, and I’m thrilled with our purchase!"

"I took this toilet camping for my 90-year-old mother, using a bedside commode frame for stability. It worked perfectly, and I was impressed with how well it contained odors. Cleaning it out was simple, and I could easily rinse it at the campground. I’m really pleased with how portable and sturdy it is!"

"This compact toilet fits perfectly in my camper and is easy to empty. The design minimizes mess, and I’m happy with the size and capacity. It held up well for three days for two people. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this purchase!"

"I think this portable toilet is fantastic for travel. It folds up almost flat, though I find it a bit tricky to fold back correctly. Overall, it feels nice and sturdy for on-the-go potty needs!"

"Having this portable toilet during our camping trip last summer was a game changer. My husband was skeptical, but when we encountered a campsite without an open toilet, he was so grateful. Now he’s a fan of portable toilets! I'd love to find the same bags and powder that came with it, as others just don't compare!"

"This toilet is compact, functional, and lightweight. It’s perfect for camping or by the pool. However, I noticed it doesn’t completely seal in odors, and I had some difficulty with the lid staying on if it got bumped. Still, it’s a decent product for the price!"

"No one who enters my space even realizes what it is. It holds odors inside very well, is easy to clean, and while I'd prefer it to be a bit taller, I understand the need for it to be compact for travel."

"I bought this because I needed a bathroom option that wouldn't require going downstairs at night. It's very convenient with its handled bucket and lid for disposal."

"As someone who camps often, this product is a lifesaver! I can pee anywhere, but having a throne for number 2 is essential. It supports my weight of 260 lbs without issue, and my family loves it too. It’s lightweight and folds easily—I highly recommend it!"

"I found it super easy to set up and it works just as expected. It's lightweight yet sturdy, making it comfortable to use. I love that it folds away flat and comes with bags that help with disposal."

"This product is definitely a quality item. It’s a better size than the usual bucket top toilet attachments, and I appreciate that it collapses for easy storage. It feels much more like a real toilet than a porta john."

"I bought this for a camping trip and it was perfect. It has a big opening for comfort and I felt secure sitting on it. My only minor issue was that it took some time to figure out how to fold it back up, but overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase."

"This was my first portable toilet purchase, and I found it to be perfect! It was quick to set up, very sturdy, and surprisingly comfortable. The included packets that solidify liquid and reduce odor were a great bonus. Honestly, using it felt similar to a regular toilet."

"I bought this portable toilet for a trip to a cottage without bathroom facilities, and it was a huge help! It was very convenient to set up and use. The sturdy construction and comfortable seat impressed everyone. We appreciated how compact it was when folded, making it easy to travel with."

"I recently got this portable toilet for camping, and I’m really impressed. The 16.5'' height is perfect for adults, and the lid adds convenience and hygiene. It's lightweight yet sturdy, and the build quality is excellent. Overall, it has exceeded my expectations and made outdoor convenience a breeze."

“I just received this today and it fits perfectly on a 5-gallon bucket. It seems well-made, and I'm hoping it will be much better than squatting.”

“I bought this for my daughters for camping, and it snapped onto a 5-gallon bucket without any issues. It works great for young kids.”

“I camp a lot with my family, and with two women in our group, I wanted an easy solution. This toilet seat snaps on perfectly to the bucket, and we keep it in the tent for nighttime use. It's sturdy, comfy, and worth every penny!”

"While our bathroom is under renovation, this portable toilet has been a helpful solution for us. It's a bit short, so we'll need to elevate it, but I believe it will serve our needs well."

"As someone who enjoys tent camping, I previously used a Lowe's bucket setup. I dislike having to leave my tent at night, so I often used a trash bag with kitty litter. This new portable toilet is much sturdier and has a lid, which makes a big difference for inside a tent. It was easy to assemble, and I appreciate the included accessories like the toilet paper holder and carrying bag. I highly recommend it for camping!"

"I was pleasantly surprised by how compact this portable toilet is when I opened the box. It took me about 15 to 20 minutes to set up, and I found it surprisingly sturdy. The included tissue holder and bags are great bonuses. While it sits a bit low for taller individuals, it’s lightweight and perfect for camping emergencies. At $39, it's an excellent find!"

"This is my second purchase from this company. Assembly wasn't super easy, and the instructions were lacking, but I was impressed by how all the pieces fit together so well. It's quite comfortable as a camp chair, and the velcro back is removable for cleaning, although lining it back up can be tricky. Overall, a good value and engineering marvel."

"I found it fairly easy to put together, but I wish the instructions were clearer. It felt a bit flimsy, but once I sat on it, it seemed fine. I’m 5'7", and it might not be suitable for larger people unless the handles are removed. For the price, I think it's a fair deal, especially for my 'She-Shed'."

"I bought this for my brother who is very weak due to illness. It was a great convenience next to his bed. However, when he tried to urinate while standing, it splashing everywhere became an issue, so I got him a urinal bottle. Despite that, I would still recommend this product."
