Comparison of a porta-loo and weeing in a forest / hedge.

  • Porta-loos can be well located in car parks & unlike public toilets they are not locked overnight.
  • They are both free (unlike many public toilets).
  • Sometimes peeing outside is difficult due to residential areas / busy roads / street lights.
  • Porta-loos smell.
  • Not too many people tend to wee outside and it is very unusual to be in the same spot. Therefore there is not a build-up of human wastage / faeces.
  • Sometimes porta loos supply their own loo roll.
  • Most times one has to use one's own loo roll.
  • Defecation is all part of the natural process of life and should therefore not be kept inside a small plastic box.
  • Behind a tree can be more discrete than in a porta-loo in a car park.
  • Splash back is more often a disadvantage of peeing outside.
  • Neither has its own lighting.


No. times weeing outside = 6
No. times using porta-loo = 3
