I hate having to sit on the loo seats at the best of time, but its not practical to poo standing up, so I thought I might invest in some of these. Now I just have to find some biodegradable ones.

Possibly TMI going on here but if I HAVE to do a poo in a long drop, I just stand on the wooden thing and squat over the hole. It does take good thigh muscles and balance (so probably best done before you get too hammered) but I had a lot of practice doing squatty poos and wees in India and other places so it was ok. Do make sure you're far enough forward though...

It was my friend's idea last year and took a lot of the trauma out of using the toilets. That combined with my shee wee means I'll never have to sit on a wet wooden long drop seat ever again!

Why do women do this???!!! That's how the toilet seats get in such a mess in the first place and then we blokes get the blame for having unreliable aim!

Because sitting on those wooden seats is rank enough to make me do a bit of sick in my mouth. Even if they're not soaking wet (is it wee, is it water?!), they're rank, think of how dirty and germ infested the wood must be after a couple of days. And I'm not even that OCD about this kind of stuff so god knows how other people cope. But hovering is impossible. I can't hover over them effectively because I'm too short so I can't get far enough back to get over the hole without the backs of my thighs touching the seat which is just rank.

I actually avoid the long drops wherever possible, certainly if I have to do a poo. I always try to go to the lovely Water Aid toilets for that and for wees will obviously just be using my shee pee this year.

Seek out "Russell: The Saga of a Peaceful Man" it will tell you all you need to know about Glastonbury toilet seat covers.

Exactly what I thought when I saw this thread! They're Andy's Disposable Toilet Seats! He was a visionary, a visionary I tell you!

Briefly met Pete Loveday when he still had the Big Bang Stupormarket at Glastonbury - what a lovely guy he was too...

Yay, more Glasto prep! Dig out all my Russell comics, 90% of which were bought at various festivals!!

because we have a better aim than you!

saying that it's not something I have ever done. Think I just get the timings right and get fairly clean toilets. This year though i'm going to watch the ladies going into the long drops and see who's legs dissapear.

and I only tend to have 2 or 3 poos while at glasto

I had five poos in one day last year!

I love the water aid toilets, they are luxury after the long drops.

Totally. In fact they were so lovely every time I've been that I now donate by DD to Water Aid every month!

I wish I could just poo once or twice the whole time I'm there but that's never going to happen. You're very lucky Stinky.

We donate to Greenpeace by DD every month totally because of glasto. It shows their effort is worth it.

And it's years and years of practice with severe IBS that has taught me bowel contol lol

Mandypants · #12 10-06-2011, 07:03 PM

Wish I could control my IBS

Horrid

I don't get those paper seat covers, surely if the seat is wet they will just soak it all up and give you a soggy arse anyway?

Just googled it and he lives 3 streets away from my sister in law! They look very funny and up my street!

acidliam · #14 10-06-2011, 07:42 PM

I dont know what the problem is, I always seek out the long drop with glowsticks in, makes life so much more pleasant. Wuh.

IBS sucks.

Now I've thought about it, I've decided that just using loo paper is probably just as effective.

KarenEH · #16 11-06-2011, 12:26 AM

Had a look at them and they want to charge as much for postage as the product! I think loo roll will do just fine! I prefer the old portaloos to the long drops, I just watch for the cleaning lorry!

TAFKASair · #17 11-06-2011, 09:26 AM

Ah yes. Go in just after the PooNoonoo has been around.

I have to say, the cleaning crews they've had for the last couple of years are awesome. It's a grim job, but they do it well.

Mandypants · #18 11-06-2011, 09:52 AM

Poonoonoo

That's why I changed my mind!

Where are they about Nelly?

robicraig · #21 11-06-2011, 04:53 PM

Pissed meself laughing last year when a poohoover truck turned up with 'Colonic Irrigation £25' written on it. Then a horse did a maaaaassive poo right next to it during the footy (we were camped at Bushy Ground next to the football field).

m1keanderson · #22 11-06-2011, 06:06 PM

On a slightly similar subject, I was in one of The Works (discount books) shops today and they were selling a pack of two hand sanitizers for 49p. Will post a pick when I download it from my phone (shop assistant must have thought me a little bit weird).

There are some in the stone cirle field if I remember rightly. Not sure if there are others on site, these were closest to Pennards where we camped though.

Lovely.

Yep, as well as doing the she-pee urinals (by the pyramid stage?) Water Aid also do the african-style pit latrines located in King's Meadow aka Stone Circle.

Mandypants · #25 11-06-2011, 10:34 PM

They changed the Kings Meadow loos last year, they were composting loos instead of the African squatty ones. It was quite good fun, while we were waiting the Devils Prefects came and performed a couple of songs for us

You'd think 16 + years of the same would have done the same for me but sadly not!

Loved the composting African style toilets in the stone circle fields last year, they seemed like positive luxury compared to everywhere else. I quite enjoyed my poos there!

Englebert · #27 13-06-2011, 05:26 PM

These make using the long drops much more tolerable I find.

Just wish I had as simple a solution for the smell

KarenEH · #28 13-06-2011, 11:30 PM

I always pop in a fresh piece of chewing gum and stuff tissue up my nose! It really does deaden the smell- in fact I only smell the mint!!

TAFKASair · #29 14-06-2011, 08:29 AM

Paper dust mask with a bit of oil based perfume in it.
Has the added bonus of making you look like an old skool raver.

Oi-oi! you laaaacky people!

maclauk · #30 14-06-2011, 08:50 AM

To be honest the long drops don't really tend to smell, it's the portaloos that whiff...
