It is a portable, flatpack, lightweight cardboard toilet designed for outdoor use when you need it most. It\u2019s designed to be reused with the use\u00a0of degradable poop bags \u2013 10 of which come with the Shit Box.<\/p>\n<p>So next time your kids are desperate for the loo in the car, or you\u2019re at a festival and are dreading the long drop \u2013 just think \u2013 you could be sitting comfortably on a cardboard box, in the comfort of your own tent,\u00a0emptying your bowels in style!<\/p>\n<p>Seriously though, it\u2019s quite impressive and its eco-friendly credentials aren\u2019t bad either.
