TRIPTIPS Bucket Toilet Seat with Soft Cushion, 270°Rotatable Lid,XL Portable, Luggable Loo Camping Toilet Seat for Adults and Kids, 5 Gallon

Can you love a toilet seat? Yes, as a matter of fact, you can. I didn’t have any of the recommended Home Depot buckets that this seat supposedly fits perfectly, but after trying out several of the buckets I already own, found one that it fit on perfectly. Slipping that bucket inside of another bucket added a few inches that made the height perfect for me. This snaps into place securely and stays, so there’s no fear of slippage while you go. A plastic kitchen bag in the bucket, and some sawdust to absorb the go, covers the basics of use. The seat has a softer foam insert so you don’t hurt your heinie, and it is removable so you can clean and air the whole unit easily and adequately. The seat lid snaps on tight to help contain odors. Living rurally—where we can lose electricity, and so water, since the well pump doesn’t work—I’ve used this in an indoor situation and even over the course of several days’ collection, it works great.

I’ve tried a lot of types of portable toilets. Our house has only 1 bathroom so I use a bucket toilet in our bedroom closet 😉. I started out with the Reliance one. That lasted for a while but eventually one of the hinges on the lid snapped off. Plus, before it snapped off, it was a nuisance because the lid would often slide off of its hinges. Next I tried a couple of those handy looking foldable toilets. The first one was really short and the seat was really uncomfortable. Would be fine for a couple of uses but not 5x/night like I need (lol). I returned that one and tried one that was taller with a better seat. With that one, the lid didn’t have hinges—it was comfier and padded, but quite annoying for more than occasional use. Plus the inner seat would come off when I would take the lid off, and the toilet would partially collapse, so not something you want when peeing in the night (but really why would you ever want that?) The only plus of that toilet was that it was more usable as a stool than some lids. But not a very sturdy feeling stool really. Now this lid is perfect. It is super easy to put on my Ace Hardware bucket, but not loose. It is padded and a lot more comfy than those plain plastic ones, and I’m excited to have a less cold seat in winter. The hinges look wayyy more durable than the Reliance design, plus they won’t slide off of their hinge holder because they are set in place. I combine this with compostable bags and some of the eco porta potty powder. I was using kitty litter until this week when I switched to the powder, which looks like it will cost me the same as litter, but is so much lighter and keeps the smell and moisture away in the little potty life saver 😂.

Let me preface this review by saying that I have only used this in a 'dry run'. Our intention is to store this for emergency use. It fits The Home Depot bucket well and is much more comfortable than several other that I have tried that don't have the padding. In my dry run , I didn't have issues with the pad sticking to me as some other reviewers have commented. If it did, it would be simple enough to put it back down. I do wish the lid had a bit more positive of a latch. However, none of them I have seen do, so that seems to be a common thing with a sort of device.

Fits bucket lid nicely and the side is wider and padded! Very nice for those long camping trips.

FITS PERFECTLY OVER 5-GALLON BUCKET ( NO LEAKING )

Padded outdoor portable toilet seat, how amazing! It fits perfectly on the less than 12” diameter 5 gallon bucket. Wife can comfortably go potty now instead of using a Red Solo Cup! We also purchased a pop up crap shack!

Works as intended. Doesn’t seem wobbly, something I was worried about. In an emergency if a bathroom is not available or too far away. We take it camping.

It was soft and nice.
