In rural we're on a semi composting dunny system at the moment while we build house etc.
We have noticed the dunny paper doesn't break down at all well so clumps which is a wee bastard.
Thinking our boats, now with added holding tanks, would also not like clumping and would far prefer a paper that broke down fast I'm thinking 'Lets ask the audience'.
Has anyone got, know of, uses a fast breaking down dunny paper?
Also there is a discussion going on around soup. Our shower is low flow low pressure currently so the Wa has mentioned how some soaps take a bit of removing once lathered up. That's OK in out city residence as when I rebuilt the show I upper our mains to 25mm so I can empty a Waitak dam in about 45 mins so we can water blast the soap off, but in rural that's not the case. Again not dissimilar to our boats.
Any suggestions for a low stick soap?

We use a product called Walex Porta-Pak in the cassette of the motorhome, breaks down everything.

There was a fashionable trend a few years back to get un-bleached TP. Haven't seen it for a while. But that appeared to be one step closer to compost. Could be worth looking into that.
On the soap question, I think you may be taking city habits to the country. I thought true rural people didn't shower, and just rubbed themselves down once a week with the cured hide of a virgin musk ox.

CZ follows the Sth American (and maybe parts of Asia) practice, there is a bin in the toilet compartment where the used loo paper goes, never had a problem with a blocked loo and the holding tank's capacity is considerably lengthened

Looks quite good but before you've even enjoyed your first sit down you have to feed the receptacle 20-25lts of water. I think our current is only a 20lt thingy. Tractor arrives on Wednesday, finally, and 1st thing going in is a long drop. 450mm diameter and 2m deep. When we first got married, 427 year ago there abouts, we brought a batch just above the Weiti Boating Club. Lived with a 2000lt water tank and a outside long drop for years. It seems life is somewhat circular as we now mostly live with 4000lts (with anther 4000 that feeds troughs/making blackberry murder juice that we can link into) and a cassette dunny that is a week away from being upgraded to a long drop. Even built a fancy top for it complete with coffee holder, the morning view is stunning so with no plans to rush why the F not  There was a fashionable trend a few years back to get un-bleached TP.

I thought true rural people didn't shower, and just rubbed themselves down once a week with the cured hide of a virgin musk ox. Oh yeah I remember that. With the loveys all a fluster at the moment its bound to be reasonably available, I shall set the Wa on a mission. We can give that a trial.
Oui, no picking on the Trans folk. In the city I would use around 200lts if not a LOT more after a wet chilly winter series, in rural down to less than 10 now as I transition to not an imported Ox, good golly bite you tongue, I'm thinking totally of the farm so Opossum trimmed with Peacock feathers... who doesn't like a bit of tickle now and again Been hearing the buggers screaming at each other in the bush come evening but yesterday saw about 20 of the buggers all seemed to be Hens. This morning in the same spot I saw a single Cock, I thought he appeared to be walking a little funny, mind you with a 20 to 1 ratio I think I'd be happy just to be able to stand  I used this on the boat.. it does seem to break down a lot quicker than normal TP but a bit spenny for everyday use... That's the stuff, rapid dissolving. Hmmm...if it's 2.5 notes a roll there I bet ya I can find it for 1 less. Stand back the challenge is on....

The first time I was in Asia for any time it was Vietnam. It didn't take too long to get used to paper in the bin beside. While 'the don't stand up while' or 'you must sit down' when peeing signs were very humorous, and still are, that's one rule I broke constantly. |

B day bro! TP is so last year!
Don't use bar soaps. They have animal fats in as a binder
Use cheap liquid soaps. Less additives and plasticiser

Our cassette is only 12 liters, after emptying I leave about 25 mm of water in the bottom and drop the additive in it, but we do flush. |

We have an “offal hole “ 5 metres by 1 and a bamboo loo composting that the girls use . The Longdrop is great but need to put grass clippings or leaf litter in there to keep the microbes happy . Bamboo loo seems good but I don’t use it cause I don’t want to empty it 😬 . Can highly recommend a black chimney on the longdrop to create a vacuum draft , keeps things on the dry side down the pit
