When you’re organising portable toilet hire it pays to know the toilet style of the people who’ll be in the queue to use the loo. To help you avoid a bit of an embarrassing stink we’ve put together this list of toilet styles so you can enhance your toilet I.Q.
Scrunchers vs folders
Scrunchers vs folders are probably the most widely known variant toilet styles. In fact you can actually divide the toilet paper using world into scrunchers or folders.

Whilst scrunching or folding won’t affect the number of portable toilets you’ll need to hire for your event it can have a dramatic effect on the amount of loo roll you’ll need for the duration of your event. Experts in toileting IQ are pretty unanimous that scrunchers use significantly more toilet paper than folders, an average of an extra two squares per wipe. There are few things worse in life than finishing up business only to discover there is no toilet paper left.
Unfortunately there is no obvious way to discover if someone is a scruncher or folder by looking at them, even members of the same family can differ in their approach to using toilet paper. So always be prepared with plenty of toilet roll in case you have an influx of scrunchers at your next event.
Performance anxiety vs the extrovert
Shy bladder syndrome is the medical term used to describe the performance anxiety that occurs in public toilets. This fear of being scrutinised by others while you’re on the loo enjoys official classification as a genuine social anxiety disorder. Alas, poop performance anxiety, also known as parcopresis, is not yet officially recognised by the medical profession.
The great news for anyone who suffers from shy bladder syndrome or parcopresis is that unlike regular public toilet stalls, portable toilets offer supreme privacy from prying ears, eyes and noses. You can pee, poop or trump with no one else being any the wiser.
So if you’re in charge of organising the national convention for sufferers of shy bladder syndrome or parcopresis, book your portable toilet hire early.

Drunk vs sober
Whether or not alcohol is being served at an event is actually one of the most important factors when calculating the number of portable toilets you’ll need to hire for an event.
It’s not just toilet etiquette that goes out the window after a few chardonnays or schooners of beer, you’ll also be queuing to use the loo a whole lot more. The phenomenon known as “breaking the seal” is very real and you risk lengthy lines of unhappy people if you don’t hire enough portable toilets.
Avoid lengthy queues by calculating your portable toilet hire correctly.

Vegan vs carnivore
Technically the type of food eaten is not as important as whether or not food is being consumed at your event – if it is you’ll need to hire more toilets. It doesn’t matter if you’re serving up beef vindaloo or vegetarian chilli con carne there’s going to be a big increase in the number of bums on seats. Whilst the debate rages on about whether a vegan or meat based diet is best, there remains one undisputed fact: if you have a strong dry heave reflex you’ll fare much better cleaning up rabbit poop vs changing a cat litter tray.
What’s that stink? If you’re serving meat pies and beer you’ll need to hire more portable toilets and you’ll probably want to BYO air freshener too.

Disabled toilets
Did you know that wheelchair accessible portable toilets are actually a real thing? It’s easy to forget about the less abled when you’re hiring toilets for an event. These specially designed portable toilets can still be used by the able bodied, so if there’s even the slightest chance that one of your guests will be in a wheelchair or suffering from limited mobility at your next paddock party then make sure you hire at least one portable toilet that can be accessed by a wheel chair.
