BoginaBag Genuine Bog in a Bag Refill Pack (5 Bags per Pack) - Suitable for Camping, Festivals, Fishing & Travelling

Product Information

We actually use a potette (this is the newer version http://www.mothercare.com/Potette-PLUS-Travel-Potty-Trainer/dp/B001CFQWHW) 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. 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. She explained that the nearest toilets were an hour's paddle away. So he said he would figure something out. 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.

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. Kate Castle lives in Winchester with her partner and two children. She balances her time between managing the business and looking after her children. Otherwise I think this is a great product that certainly beats hovering over one of those pits of Hades any day. 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!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. 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.

For Adults, the Bog in a Bag seems like the sturdiest, most comprehensive offer on the market but here’s some others to consider: 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. 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.”

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. BoginaBag is a lightweight seat which can be easily converted to a portable toilet for use outdoors.

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.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". 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).
