I went to a party with these (bc of septic issues) and this was a great solution. Not gross at all!!

Another +1 for this type of bathroom trailer. We have rented them for many large (50+ people) parties at our cottage, which is on septic and only has 2 baths. Guests seem to appreciate them and I usually put a basket with bug spray, bobby pins, tissues, hair spray, sunscreen, and other basics inside.

This is a common DCUM thread, OP.

There are all sorts of snoopers and someone-elses-master-bathroom poopers on this website. Even if you get a portapotty, expect obnoxious people to try to get into your master bathroom anyway. You'll definitely need locks.

They say they have bowel problems, as if that makes it better and not a hundred times worse...

You have a porta potty fragrancing your yard in this heat?

presumably it wouldn't stink too much if it's just pee in there.

How much did you pay for it, PP?

There's REAL nice porta potty that are basically a mobile public restroom with sinks, kind of fancy. like multiple sinks. it's a trailer.

Ugh I can't imagine using a porta potty in someone's home/yard! Ugh! Especially post-vaccine.

I would feel like it's really disrespectful to geusts to not let them use the upstairs bathrooms of needed.

If you must do this, please rent a wedding-type one.

EWWW. Seriously. That doesn't want to make me coddle you while you brown spray in my bathroom.
Don't POOP at Parties or at Work.

Clean your house and let people use your bathrooms. Or do not host.

Rent a venue if the bathroom is an issue. NO ONE wants a port a potty. No one. If you're not comfortable with having them in your house, go to a venue. That really is the only answer here.

Maybe because they don't drink? There are lots of people who don't drink. You can still have fun without it, FYI. And if you don't know that, maybe you are more of a big drinker than you think.

In the heat? Come on. People who know your daughter are going to say “Isn’t there a bathroom indoors that I can use? Please? Just be?” She’s not going to make her cousins and aunts use a portapotty. Once she tells one person, it’s pretty much open season on your en-suite bathrooms.

I wouldn’t rent a port-a-potty unless you’re on septic (learned the hard way on that one).

We’ve had parties with @ 100 people at our house, and I have directed a few people upstairs when the downstairs bathroom was occupied, but most people use the powder room. I’d be prepared for people to go upstairs, but not expect it to be many.

I poop at parties and at work. Not sure what the big deal is.

I hate waiting for the only bathroom when I just need to pee. If you had a urinal or port-a-potty available for quick relief, that would be awesome. You get 50% of the crowd out of the indoor bathroom line.

Exactly. We’ve attended parties in Bethesda and Potomac and there are porta potties for the guests. No one bats an eye.

+1

You assume every guest does not drink.

$100 a month with weekly service. My DH uses it for both #1 and #2. It doesn’t smell and is concealed by shrubs. He wants to keep it permanently.
