Do you have to use the liners, or can you just dump and clean it out?

You can purchase the Kalencom Potette Plus At Home Reusable Liner. The urine is collected in it, then you can dump the urine and clean it out. I purchased one and it works perfectly.

There isn't a bowl, so there wouldn't be anything to catch it. We use it over the big toilet as a potty seat and there isn't anything to dump. I haven't actually used it as a travel one yet.

You have to use the liners or plastic bags (the ones from the grocery store, for instance). But I advice to buy the liners since they come with absorbent pads. I am very happy with this portable potty. .it is practical and convenient. My daughter feels very confortable using it.

You have to use liners because there is no bottom, they are literally peeing/pooping into the plastic liner. We just use plastic shopping bags. Potette sells a reusable liner separately that allows you to be able to just dump and clean it. It is available on amazon. I was unsure about the liners before purchasing but despite having to use the liners, we love this potty. It makes being on the go while potty training so much easier.

Liners are aMust but if you use plastic shopping bags with paper towels orNapkins works the same

It doesn't have a bottom so there isn't a way to catch anything. It's an oval with foldable wings that act like legs or stabilize it on an adult potty. The kid either has to pee through it on an adult toilet or into a bag. The liners fit it nicely and tend not to leak when tied off, so those are my go to for long car trips. I used plastic bags on a family trip while we were in the hotel and those work fine if you only have one pee/poop and can toss it soon.

You can't reuse the liners. The liner has a thick sort of a paper towel that helps absorb the urine. You will have to throw the liner once used. The potette comes with 2 or 3 bags so you can try them out.

I would recommend using the liners...trying to dump it out and clean it up would be extremely messy

This potty doesn't have a bottom so you need something to catch it. You could use a plastic bag and put napkins in it to soak up the urine. That is what the linears are essentially. I bought a pack of 30 (I think) and have only used like 5. I have owned the potty for about a year and a half. We use it for energencies only. Hope that helps.

I bought a liner also because ours was shot. If you have a liner in good shape you are fine. I always use a liner. If you don't then its your call.

I did not use a liner at all. You can lightly butter the sides if you want (the product is non-stick). After they have cooled, you gently push up thru the bottom and the discs remove easily.

Yes you can! I don't use a liner simply b/c my kitty refuses to use a liner.

Sorry but I haven't cleaned it. I just turn it upside down and dump anything left in it out before I fill it up.

I don't what type of liners would work; i disinfect it each time. The little drain do-dad makes it ultra simple to be sure i've run disinfectant all thru it not just on it.

Why would you want to do that? You'll have to clean the liner when the stuff could just go into where it is going to end up again anyway! It is super-easy to remove the liner and put it back in. Just (pardon the comparison) like you change the liner of a trash can. PS: I just drape the edges over the seat. I don't try to insert the seat into the space in the liner where it is supposed to go into. You'll see what I mean when you buy it :-). This was so useful during those neither here nor there days! Great purchase!

You don't need these liners, but I highly recommend using them. Newborn poop is really runny and these save a ton of

Not sure what you mean by "liner." There's a can inside that takes a standard (USA) 13 gallon garbage bag. Remove. The 'current' bag & toss. Replace w/ a new bag... it's a trash can! :-)

you dont need no lining, i never use it. just scoop it and wash the box as needed. my short hair cat uses hers and leaves no one piece of litter outside. the long hair cat is a bit messier but still amazingly cleaner around than when i used a traditional box. i love it, it also contains the smell better. just a reminder that i made my box so the original must be as good.

No, you do not need liners. I guess if you wanted to use them, you could, but as someone who has used these steamers all my life (since I was in my early 20s and am now 60), I never have and they function perfectly, if properly taken care of. The best to you.

There is a balloon like lining in the tank itself. You fill this with water. As you are cleaning this empties & the dirty water fills in around the outside of the liner. Just dump out the dirty water , rinse & refill. Works great.

I do not use liners with this box. I plan to use this disposable box for just one weekend when we were at a wedding but our cats love it so much I have just let them use it. They have three boxes and prefer the disposable box. Not sure why.

Not that I am aware of, but that's not to say they don't have them. I don't use liners because my cats shred them. You could always use a garbage bag and you just pull the outside over the inside. That's what we used to do.

Yes. The liner is attached by velcro and can be removed and washed. You can also buy replacement liners to swap out.

I didn't use a liner. There's a plug that I covered with coffee filters so not to lose the potting mix if it needs draining. I used a potting mix and grew herbs in a south window all winter.

Actually, I do use the liners. I guess the point of the liners is that it keeps any fluid from touching the plastic. Plastic can hold odors even when washed and cats do not like odors. Eventually, if you keep using the box without a liner it will hold odors that you cat will deem strong enough to think the box is dirty ...even when clean. I follow the guidelines on the liner and fill the litter to the line. The litter is pretty deep so for the most part nothing really reaches the liner except when the litter gets low and then it may a little bit. I think people who say it gets soggy let it go a little too long. The directions say to change out the litter completely every now and then, but I do not do that. I just keep the litter very clean and continue to add new fresh litter as it gets used up-- keeping the box quite full of litter. The trick to keeping the litter ultra clean is to NOT use a kitty litter scoop but instead use a litter scoop intended for smaller animals (like rodents)... the holes are smaller and will help to get every bit of non-clean litter in the box.
