Tim, One of my concerns is oder and leakage. The product literature say: "The bags are biodegradable; they are made with a patented blend of polymers and natural starches to break down in landfill conditions after 6-8 months, depending on conditions. There are two bags; one funnel-shaped waste collection bag pre-loaded with Pooh Powder waste treatment used to contain the waste, and a heavy gauge zip close bag (12" x 10") to secure and transport waste." In other areas of their lit. they specfically say the pooh powder eliminates the oder. You can buy extra Pooh Powder if you want.

I have used a short bucket with smaller heavy plastic bags for the same thing. A plywood 'seat' makes it more comfy. I used a commercial grade (like for food related stuff) bucket....like a five gallon job, but half the hieght. This size fits well on a boat and came be used for other stuff as well. I have a nice portapotti these days, but still keep the bucket onboard for washing the boat etc. I can tell you one thing.....no matter how many layers of bags you use (I have gone up to three) a collection of those bags and thier related contents will still somehow reek a coupla days later while cruising. Get rid of them asap.
