As seasoned vanlifers and campers, we've all have our fair share of toilet experiences, service stations, porta pottis, portaloos, leisure centres, fast-food joints, buckets or under the blanket of Mother Nature day and night., some are less pleasant than others. When it comes to finding the perfect loo for life on the road, it's about more than just functionality; it's about the ease and harmony within the vanlife ethos. It’s not so much about being comfortable in the rush but more about comfortable in your own space, whether that is in the city, car park at midnight or if you’re traveling alone. Say hello to the Cuddy by Compocloset, a compact composting toilet.

Seriously, anything that's environmentally friendly is a no-brainer. We are not living in the 80s anymore. The environment matters in every context. The Cuddy hits all the right notes with its compostable, waterless, and chemical-free waste management.

Anyone that has a cassette toilet knows the hassle and ongoing costs of insurmountable detergents and antibacterial sachets of cleaners and it’s simply not sustainable and expensive. Stop wasting your time and energy, the Cuddy can last for up to 6 weeks (depending how any folk are using it) and if Cuddy is not being used for a while you can just leave it there to compost down before being emptied as opposed to a cassette toilet which is every few days! This toilet isn't just easy on the environment; it's gentle on your bank account too. With its reusable design, you'll be reducing plastic waste and saving money.

When it comes to design, The Cuddy is more than just a throne; it's a piece of art. It's the kind of loo that makes you wonder why you'd ever want to leave your van in the first place. Use it as a seat inside/outside and use it in privacy outside. The Cuddy is a small unit that is 414 (H) x 384 (W) x 427 (D) mm So if you are a van builder like me and are constantly aware of saving space then the Cuddy is the most compact compostable toilet on the market. It can fit under your bed or interior cabinets in large vans and small vans. That is a fantastic option for people looking to save space and or get creative with design options.

We've all been there, discarding the midnight contents the next day or wrestling with a portable toilet like it's a creature from the black lagoon otherwise known as ‘the walk of shame’, that’s not us. The Cuddy’s removable solids bin is like a superhero sidekick, ensuring that emptying is a breeze. No mess, no stank, no fuss, just clean and simple. Never again will you have to guess when it's time for a liquid bottle evacuation. The Cuddy's smart LED light indicator is like having your own personal notification system.

Composting toilets don't smell, if anything, imagine the fragrance of a lovely forest floor! There is a carbon filter for any odour reduction if the need arises. If you are feeling fancy, you can choose to vent Cuddy directly to the outside of your van, just pop out the filter, flip over the air flow director and Cuddy is ready to vent

The Cuddy by Compocloset isn't just a toilet; it's a vanlife companion that adds elegance, convenience, and eco-friendliness to your home on wheels. So, if you're ready to upgrade your vanlife experience and say goodbye to toilet troubles, the Cuddy is the ultimate choice for your van throne. Happy vanlifin' and may your journeys be odor-free and full of adventure! 🚐🌲💫
