Sturdy camping toilet - most birthing people have the urge to poo during their birth journey. It is normal to poo in the birthing pool and the sieve can be used to capture the poo. Some people feel they want to get out of the pool to poo on a toilet. This camping toilet can be used in the pool area in case it is difficult to get to the toilet and can be less of an interruption to your birthing flow.
The toilet can also be a comfortable place to sit during birth.
Shepee - Most birthing people pee in the pool. This is absolutely not a problem at all. But, if you are not comfortable peeing in the pool, this can be used to support with less interruption as you can just stand up, pee and then get back into the water and back into your flow.
