Cuddy™ lets you "go" whenever you need, wherever you are. With no smells, no chemicals and no dump points, Cuddy™ sets you free.
Ideal for your van, camper, boat, ute or tiny home.
Put simply, Cuddy™ separates 1s and 2s at the source (that's you). The intuitive bowl design ensures liquids go into the liquids bottle for easy disposal, and the solids go into the solids bin to start the composting process. The key is to keep the liquids and solids separate.
Cuddy™ is versatile, you can install permanently, or keep Cuddy™ portable to get the best view when you are on the loo! Perfect for vans, camper trailers, boats, and tiny homes.
NO CHEMICALS - NO WATER - NO SMELLS - NO DUMP POINTS!
Many of our customers install Cuddy™ permanently in their van. Cuddy™ has 4 reinforced screw down points in the base for easy install.
We recommend that you vent Cuddy™ when you install permanently, it helps reduce excess moisture and breaks the solids down a bit more quickly.
Cuddy™ takes 12v, and we ship with the parts to be hard-wired via a 5.5 x 2.1mm plug, or you can plug it into the mains with an adapter.
If you want to move Cuddy™ around that's easy too. You can get a cig plug, or merit plug adaptor or even a USB to 12V cable with a 5.5 x 2.1mm plug from here. Cuddy™ will go anywhere. Cuddy™ is very efficient - draws about 0.3 amps.
It is ok if Cuddy is not connected to power all the time. If you store Cuddy in one place while travelling it could go without power and use it where there is power, or vice versa.
For the "pee full" indicator Cuddy uses a 9v battery, you will need to supply that.
Simple, a compost medium like hydrated coco coir, mini hemp, or wood shavings is all you need to get the composting process going. Just put the medium into the solids bin just covering the bottom of the agitator arms, and of you “go”!
If possible, to continue the composting process and to reduce landfill, bury the waste appropriately or add it to your own compost pile.
If you bury it please be responsible. Ensure it is at lest 100 metres away from a water source or camp site and at least 250mm down.
Solids from composting toilets may also be put in a biodegradable bag and disposed of in a regular rubbish bin*.
Cuddy™ is specially designed to make this step as quick and easy as possible. Liquids from
composting toilets can be poured down a regular toilet or onto the nearest thirsty looking mature tree!
* All waste should be disposed of according to local regulations, and with care and respect for the environment and the other people who enjoy it.
No, composting toilets do not smell when used properly. They will not stink out your van, boat, tiny home, camper, or cabin. The composted material looks and smells earthy—like a forest floor. When emptying the loo, there is no unpleasant odour, unless you’re one of those rare folks that don’t like forest floors.
There are obviously a whole range of variables and factors that we can’t account for in this general advice – please give us a call on 0447 047 237, we are happy to discuss what option might work best for you.
We also appreciate that no matter what general advice we give, users will have their own preferences due to their unique circumstances. Those opinions are as valid as ours.
Remember: Both Cuddy™ and Cuddy™ Lite separate
solids and liquids, that is the most important thing. If you’re considering a travel toilet that does not separate, you will either have to use chemicals and a dump point, or you will be putting raw sewage into a bin or into the environment, please don’t do that.
Our general advice is as follows:
Full time use: Cuddy™ - You will have to empty less often, it will generally be more “pleasant”, and no need for plastic bags.
Regular use: Cuddy™ - After each trip you don’t have to worry about emptying the solids bin and the composting process will just continue. We have gone for 6 months between emptying our solids bin.
Irregular use: Could go either way, a Cuddy™ for the reasons outlined above, or a Cuddy™ Lite if you don’t want to or are unable to continue composting between trips.
Once in a blue moon: Cuddy™ Lite – Likely you will want to get all your kit cleaned and put away for next time.
Away with a group of
people all using your loo: Cuddy™ Lite – With heavy use over a short period very little composting will begin, and from our first-hand experience you will end up with a bin full of very fresh deposits that won’t be pleasant to empty.
If you can’t make a
decision, we suggest you go for the Cuddy™.
If you have A Cuddy™ and an additional solids bin without an agitator, you will have a Cuddy™ and a Cuddy™ Lite in one unit. It is the most versatile, fully optioned, and most affordable travel toilet in the world. It can adapt to any install, or portable application you can throw at it.
You can turn a Cuddy™ into a Cuddy™ Lite, but you can’t turn a Cuddy™ Lite into a Cuddy™.
Pimp your ride Compo Crew, you can now give your Cuddy™ or Cuddy™ Lite a facelift!
Our new Bamboo lids turn your Cuddy™ into even more of a feature in your travel home.

The Purchase: For getting it to us in record time during Christmas. Ordered Thursday, shipped Friday from Sydney, delivered Monday in Melbourne. You can add prompt useful and concise communication and info along the way: ***** The Unit: We took it away over Christmas and we are in the position to compare this to an Air Head Tejo which is in our house. This unit 'shits' on the Air Head completely. Build design, functionality,looks, simplicity of install and strength of construction. Liked the inclusion of the led red light ***** The Use: Worked as it was designed. Emptying was way easier than our house composting toilet. Slide the bucket out and empty. Same with the urine container. Dont really understand some criticisms of this. Emptied without splashback. We ensured very little smell (when emptying and use) by a minimal spray with vinegar/water solution. If there was a slight design change, and coming from a blokes perspective, things dangle with us gents and some more height, say around 50-80mm would be awesome. Dont think this change in height would adversely affect any other functions imho. Fitted into a caravan ie confined space, we would be looking at retrofitting an external vent. The charcoal filter worked quite well, but even with the vans ceiling vent going/open , there was a faint echo of the Cranberries lyric" .. did you have to let it linger". It didn't last, but we will still vent to the outside. Have been assured that the retrofitting unit will be available this year some time. Overall though from me ****. Missus gave it *****. Well done Compo Closet for your product and the team in Australia. We will skip to the Loo my Darlings. James and Lizzy
Delivery was super fast. The Cuddy is as advertised and of high quality.
Having ordered and then been delivered a week out from Christmas was amazing. Cuddy was easy to install, wire up and vent externally. Yet to use so will add later
Pre sales advice was excellent. Quick delivery once sale completed. Yet to install and use the Cuddy so will postpone that part of the review until later.
Received my cuddy 7 days after ordering, the lid had broken hinges on it so I called them,they sent one same day and I got it 4 days later,great customer service. Installed in our van and very happy with it.
Purchased for install in my caravan. Best compost toilet I've used. A+++ Easy to use. No smells, No fuss, Easy clean and empty. Been caravanning with Cuddy off grid and in the outback across several states over 18 months without problems. Fantastic after sales service. Highly recommend.
Toilet arrived in great condition, will be installing it in our new van in April 2025, can’t wait!
Great customer support, quick delivery
