My one biggest fear is someone pushing the toilet over when I am in it. Also it takes me about 20 minutes for a quick number two. 4 minutes ago, Matt100121 said: No portaloos at all?

CaledonianGonzo Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Maybe the odd one, but the compost ones were brought in deliberately to replace the portaloos - so they've pretty much been phased out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enclosed - covered in a canvas like material with a little roof. The loss of the porcelain beauties hit me hard last year, but overall standards of the bogs have gone up immeasurably over the years.

Matt100121 Posted June 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Ok cool, so you got some privacy? My idea is to going early in the morning when it is quiet. You only allowed to use toilet paper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt like a rite of passage. So to speak. I'm about to go for my 13th time and I'm just as excited to use the long drops as ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only allowed to use toilet paper? I'm also a 20 minutes for a quick one sort of person. The compost toilets are fine. Close the door and you are completely enclosed and private. The only issue you may have is someone changing the wheely bin underneath you if they get fed up waiting. I imagine if you go later in the day they'll get pretty hot as well. So I try to go fairly early in the morning. Make sure the bin underneath is not full up, and then enjoy my morning constitutional. As far as I know toilet wipes are fine if you prefer but normal wet wipes are not. Toilet paper is best and make sure you bring your own. Odds are good there won't be any when you need it. Good luck.

I am not sure that any sort of wipes should go in the composters. Just loo paper and then sawdust on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just loo paper and then sawdust on top. Fair enough. I presumed they were OK as they can also go down toilets. Thinking about it a bit of a stupid assumption and I won't do that again. 2 hours ago, RyanS said: 20 minutes? More fibre needed! No wonder some of the queues are so long. I would not do that in a situation where there was a queue. And I am generally quicker than that when at the festival anyway for reasons we shan't go into. I blame an overly restrictive toilet training regime. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkete Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/Information/advice/toilets/ It says only paper, but I thought eco wipes were OK, eg. Naty and the like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compost ones are completely private don't worry. No one bangs the door. They wait at the bottom of the steps a few feet away. Can get busy in the campsites though if you're not up early enough. Queues do move along though, avoid any with ukmountie in the queue though. 20 minutes. Ouch ha. The metal long drops, some of the doors don't close properly and stay ajar even after putting on the hook closure on so choose wisely for number 2's and ladies taking a wee (men too I suppose who also like a posh piss).
