I'd rather use a portapotty than the toilets in the park on Mercer Island that don't have doors!!
At least you get to be modest a little.
I've traveled in Italy and have learned not to be fussy about toilets.
Having said that, there have been SOME porta pottys that i left without using...

All y'all haven't lived until you've hiked a leg up like a dog to pee in a urinal, because you had no change, and in France the urinals are free but the sit-down toilets cost money...![]()

YUCK to the poison ivy stories!!! That would be a really bad place to get it; for the love of all that is good please watch where you squat and what you wipe with if you're caught out without TP! As for the porta-potties, they don't really bother me (unless they're just really dirty). I had to use squat toilets a couple of times on my recent trip to Kenya, and almost dropped my flashlight (which was in my scrub top pocket) down the latrine at one of the clinics! It fell out of my pocket, rolled, and stopped just a couple of inches from the hole (needless to say, it was thoroughly disinfected after that). Lesson learned: be careful what is in your pockets when you squat.

I'm a very picky person when it comes to the WC. In my travels to the Middle East, I was faced with a hole in the floor and a jug of water ... nothing else. Try and figure that one out.
It took me awhile to understand the concept; needless to say, I got quite wet in the process and still didn't master the 'art of cleanliness'.

I knew there was one (saw it in an outdoor-sy type magazine)...but never knew there were this many
