The story of the Loveable Loo®:
Who would'a thunk it? A toilet that people love? When Jenkins wrote the Humanure Handbook and thereby introduced the world to the "humanure toilet," he didn't expect people to write to him saying they love their little home-made compost toilets, but many did. Lots of proud humanure composters sent photos of their lovable toilets, some of which are posted on our website . They built their own toilets from instructions also posted on our website .
In time, people started asking Jenkins to provide them with these little toilets, already constructed. They wanted them for their homes, camps, cabins, cottages, and to keep in a basement corner for emergency use should the power go out.
The finished loo is approximately 18" wide, 21" long and a little higher than the toilet receptacle, approximately 17".

Loveable Loo in the News
"I love my Loveable Loo ® and have had absolutely no problems with the system. I have no odors at the toilet or anywhere in my house which is a fairly open floor plan. In fact, because I did have to take out walls in the bathroom, the loo lived temporarily in the living room under a blanket so I'm VERY sure there is no odor with these toilets if the directions for using one are followed...So two months and going for forever! I love it. It works, it's clean, it's easy, it's inexpensive, takes very little time and it is exactly as you described it in the book. Again, I think people will have complete success with this, as I have had, if they just follow the directions in the Humanure Handbook. I am living in a strawbale home, I am off the grid with solar power and have been able to incorporate a lot of sustainable and green living practices. But I still had that flushing toilet and it really bugged me! Thank you so much for helping me get rid of it!"
"I just wanted to say thank you for doing your work so well. I just unpacked the crate and box of receptacles. The contents and packaging have been planned and thought out so carefully, everything we need and more. Thanks also for the gift book. I look forward to telling others about your product."
"I just wanted to say that my wife and I are very happy with your product. We have been working to be off grid including off sewer. We started with a very expensive complicated and large composting toilet from (...being nice...). It had a solar panel and fan and we had problems with toilet flies, smell and getting the waste out to the outside composting area. It was a disaster of the worst sort. The simple small Lovable Loo ® has make our lives sooo much better."
"Bought two Loveable Loos ® a few months ago and they are both in operation, one indoors one in an outhouse, and they both work great. Thank you for the free ''Balance Point'' book, that came with the loos. I read it and liked it very much. Keep up the great work."
"Using a Loveable Loo ® was our first experience of using a toilet that didn't flush. Needless to say we were apprehensive at first, especially as we had chosen to make it the only kind of toilet in the barn that we were transforming into our home. Our fears were unfounded however and no one in our family has any complaints. Even guests are pleasantly surprised and our loo is now quite a conversation piece. "
"I have purchased several of your “humanure” toilet systems and used them for several years. After having purchased and tried virtually every other composting system on the market, I have found yours to be the simplest and most effective (read, odor-free )."
