It took two years to get the product to market but by 2010 BoginaBag was selling well and receiving some fantastic press. Keen to move the product forward Kate took the decision in 2011 to enter the “Dragons Den.” Many camping toilet bags (and the Travel John bags) have a sort of crystal-filled ‘nappy’ inside to soak up liquid. We think this is important because a plastic bag filled with sloshiness sounds like a disaster waiting to happen and isn’t pleasant for waste collectors. We actually use a potette (this is the newer version http://www.mothercare.com/Potette-PLUS-Travel-Potty-Trainer/dp/B001CFQWHW) If we’d had less to carry, we’d have definitely brought along our My Carry Potty, the portable ‘suitcase’ potty with carry handle – great for toddlers on the move.
There are bin liners you could use, but most of these aren’t biodegradable, so you’ll be adding to the world’s mountains of plastic waste. If you must use bags, make sure they’re properly BIOdegradable (like Branq Camping Bio bags).As a minor critique, I would say maybe the makers could create adjustable legs in case you need to squat inside a very low tent! It’s that moment when you’re holding your 3-year-old on the dirtiest, smelliest loo of your life for the 15 to 20 minutes he takes deciding whether to do a number 2. Beam me up… somebody, anybody!
Take your own anti-bacterial gel as the dispensers provided frequently run out. Also carry a little soap and use the Water points to wash hands when you can as nothing beats good old soap and water. Some people suggest using cat litter instead of a liquid. The problem is that it can’t be composted or flushed, so will just have to be put in a rubbish bin. The alternative is an absorbent powder that soaks up fluids and instantly turns to gel. Again, though, it’s headed for a bin. Brilliant idea for the little people and my I say big people with just was a wee to do more a man than a woman though.I suppose you could use any poly bags with no holes in them that actually fit around the potette BoginaBag is a lightweight seat which can be easily converted to a portable toilet for use outdoors.By all accounts, festival toilets have come a long way. The loos at Camp Bestival weren’t all bad and we definitely favoured the compostable toilets– there’s no wet flush, you simply toss sawdust inside. The smell is much less potent in these loos, but a word of warning: don’t look down! By night 2 I decided that while I wasn’t ready to moon my neighbours, at least the babes could try out the Bog in a Bag. After receiving the invitation to visit Camp Bestival and camp for 4 nights with the kids, one of the first things I did was to research toilet options. There’s a range of portable devices on the market that claim to make your festival experience a little less crappy. Kate Castle came to Innovate Product Design to develop her idea for a portable toilet after identifying nothing else on the market which provided a decent solution. After a two-hour grilling and three offers she walked away with a new business partner and the dragon she wanted.
Other items you might want to arm yourself with: extra loo paper, anti-bacterial toilet seat wipes, air freshener (you could make up an essential oil spray if you don’t like the ones on the market), disposable seat covers. These Bog in a Bag refills are described as “degradable bags”…we haven’t been able to find out what Bog in a Bag mean by that exactly, but degradable is VERY different from biodegradable. Otherwise I think this is a great product that certainly beats hovering over one of those pits of Hades any day.

The next day on the return journey he revealed how he had solved the problem by using a bin liner in the cool box, and that it was "quite comfy". Kate Castle lives in Winchester with her partner and two children. She balances her time between managing the business and looking after her children. The bags we prefer are the Green Elephant biodegradable ones. They’re made from plant-derived resin, vegetable oils, and compostable polymer and have the advantage of a stated length of time – 45 days to decompose (a year’s shelf life, though). And then we wonder why we find piles of sh1te in the wilderness? People are taken out on trips and no one bothers to explain how to properly and safely deal with a basic human need in what is to them an alien environment. She explained that the nearest toilets were an hour's paddle away. So he said he would figure something out.
Keep an eye on your gauge if you have one as this will tell you when you need to empty it, but at least once a week or it may cause a smell! Can you put bleach in my portable camping toilet? These fluids are designed to stop your toilet smelling and to make it easier to clean them out. Don’t be tempted to buy one of the strong chemical based brands. After completing a full budget planner and getting an investor on board, Kate then applied for a patent and registered design images. Once those were done she approached UK and Chinese manufacturers directly.For Adults, the Bog in a Bag seems like the sturdiest, most comprehensive offer on the market but here’s some others to consider:
