A Little Dignity, Please
Picture it – perhaps you’re wearing your best outfit, a glass of bubbly in hand. Or maybe your grooviest, hippest boho fit for the big music festival. It’s a beautiful, warm, sunny day, you’re having a blast, but suddenly, nature calls.
You head to the portable toilets, resigned to fate and maybe even expecting a few unpleasant moments to dull your vibe. On opening the door, you’re not met with the worst case scenario, not by a long shot. No dark cobwebbed corners, no splinters, (am I aging myself here?) none of that.
No, you can flush these things and wash your hands when you’re done! Ahh progress. This is a pleasant surprise for anyone attending your outdoor event—weddings, parties, music festivals, and even business functions. Taking advantage of the great outdoors is a great way to elevate everyone’s experience.
While you’re planning, you’ll be putting a lot of thought into every aspect of your gathering, from venue to music to games and fun activities. Of course, you’ve also got portable restrooms on your list as well. Don’t you?
What Is a Flushable Portable Toilet?
We’ve all used one: a standard portable bathroom. Not always the cleanest option, but often the only option. If you’re lucky enough to find yourself in a cleaner version, you’ll find the standard toilet paper, maybe a bottle of hand sanitizer, and an unpleasant, um.. air about the place. Not to mention a suspiciously damp plastic floor giving you reason to hike ‘em up and hover precariously in order to get the job done.
Flash forward to today: now we can get these portable restrooms with most of the comforts of home. You don’t even have to use your hands, because foot pedals are the way to go. How does a flushable porta-potty work, you ask? Learn more here.
When you’re done, you can wash your hands with actual soap, and yes, even dry them afterwards with paper towels. What may feel like a small upgrade really translates into a large improvement in your guests’ experience at your event and all you did was decide to rent a flushable portable potty. Little things do mean a lot!
Who’s Booking Flushable Porta Potties?
You may be asking yourself, “Does my event really need a flushable lavatory rental? Will anyone really notice? Will it make a difference?”
I’m here to tell you the answer to all three of these questions is a resounding “Yes!”
You could be planning a chic wedding at the polo grounds or planning a corporate event at an actual castle. Or perhaps a private party celebrating an important family milestone in an idyllic farm setting.
So to answer my own question, the answer is: just about everyone. A VIP level flushable bathroom can accommodate everyone. The safety and sanitation features are a boon for your older guests, parents with children, and anyone who wants to keep their finery fine.
And to keep with your aesthetic, you can also reserve an un-branded toilet unit. (although you may have to keep name-dropping when your guests ask where you found them!)
What Makes a Flushable Porta Potty Different (and Better)?
The difference is clear, and easily illuminated with a translucent ceiling and solar-powered lighting inside. No need for your guests to pull out their phone flashlights in order to relieve themselves.
A flushable bathroom is cleaner, hands down. Being able to flush the toilet and wash one’s hands afterwards gets you a step closer to a ‘real’ bathroom experience.
As these units contain waste beneath a sealed barrier, odors and visible waste are non-issues. The option to wash hands is a great way to avoid that quick, cold slap of hand sanitizer. This is a huge bonus for a food-centered event, too, because your guests will definitely want clean hands as they taste the night away, perhaps flitting from food truck to food truck.
This type of porta john is so much more than just a luxury. Beyond hygiene, the improvement of your guests’ comfort is multi-faceted. A guest who knows their bathroom trip isn’t going to be a sensory nightmare is a happy guest! And a happy guest will have a better experience and maybe stick around longer to enjoy that second slice of cake or final setlist.
Flushable lavatories tend to stay cleaner longer, too, so you won’t see any deterioration in standards as your event goes on. They utilize maximum ventilation, so as the hours pass, you won’t be worrying about odors, either. With summer right around the corner, this is definitely something to consider.
A VIP Flushable portable restroom won’t break the bank. If a full luxury lavatory trailer feels like overkill, a flushable unit is a great step up from the basic porta potty experience. It’s a great compromise when you want to impress your guests but don’t quite need all the bells and whistles.
There is a time and a venue for a standard portable bathroom, and there’s that extra bit of sparkle when you really want everyone to leave happy at the end of your event. And while all options (standard, flushable or deluxe) are solid, it’s so easy to elevate the entire experience by including that little something, in this case, comfort and cleanliness.
And of course, this is a pleasant and often unexpected surprise to anyone who regularly attends outdoor events!
Go Ahead, Treat Your Guests to Clean Comfort
You don’t have to be planning the wedding of the year to get maximum value from a flushable portable lav. They’re a fantastic choice for any event. Anniversary? Check. Homegrown music festival? Yup. Notable birthday? Now’s the time. Everybody needs to use the bathroom at some point, and with a VIP flushable washroom, your guests and associates will remember the music, food, and fun rather than having to hover while using the facilities. Well, maybe except for me, I tend to block that stuff out. But I wouldn’t have to, if everyone was thoughtful enough to provide a flushable toilet and working sink!
