It's either that or carrying over100L of sewage in a 40yo plastic tank that will inevitably leak lol

Plus no fecal plume from flushing with the lid up. Now that's eww worthy! It even has a bidet!

    I've never seen a toilet that seals, they all fecal plume, it's just not an actual health issue. If it was, it would be very obvious by now, especially considering most public toilets in America have no lid at all.

    Oh, I didn't think it was an actual health issue or even a consideration for picking my toilet. (I'm on a small sailboat so regular toilets aren't really a thing)

    Although I will say that composting toilets do actually suck dirty air out and often have a seal around the seat. You get a lovely breeze and zero fart smells!

    My main gripe with the plume is that most keep their toothbrush out in the open within the splash zone. So not applicable to public bathrooms really. Otherwise just wash your hands and everything is fine.
