Using a portable toilet can have its unpleasant moments. The worst is what people in the trade call "blowback"-wastes shooting up from the toilet bowl. The whole mess is caused by a pressure buildup in the holding tanks of the flushable models.

Les toilettes portatives peuvent avoir des aspects déplaisants. Le pire, c'est que les gens du métier appellent le «rejet», c'est-à-dire le vidange qui ressort de la cuvette. Ce phénomène est causé par la pression qui s'accumule dans les réservoirs des [toilettes portatives] à chasse d'eau.
