Composting Toilets

The Cuddy, Cuddy Lite and S1 are all the same size.

422mm (H) x 385mm (W) x 432mm (D)

Solids Bin Capacity: 14.7 Litres

Liquids Bottle Capacity: 6.5 Litres

Note: The 422mm height is at the centre of the plastic lid, it bows up from the edges of the Cuddy where the height is 415mm. With the bamboo lid the height is 418mm from edge to edge.

Our hinges open within themselves allowing for the toilet to be mounted flush against a wall, saving you space.

As Cuddy's agitator is on the front you don't need to leave space on each side either, saving you more space!

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.

The carbon rich compost medium and aeration provides the perfect conditions for the microorganisms and good bacteria to do their job and break down your waste.

A carbon rich 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”!

The product most people use is called Coir Peat, produced by Brunnings, sold at Bunnings. it is $5.98 for a 15 litr compressed block. You will use about half a block every 3 weeks.

There are many differing opinions about toilet paper. Should you or should you not put it in the compost? Do you need a special type?

For what it is worth we recommend where possible to try to keep it separate from the compost mix, it takes longer to break down and can fill up the solids bin more quickly.

We appreciate that might not always be possible for
whatever reason, so while any toilet paper will eventually break down, recycled single ply toilet paper seems to breakdown more quickly.
