Cloth with weak seams.
I set it up at home to be sure it would support an adult's weight. The inner supports seemed sturdy enough. So I took it camping, with doubled plastic bags inside to protect the cloth. Well, as soon as I set it up at camp the first time, I demonstrated to my teenager that it's strong enough to hold him. The seems ripped and I went tumbling. Whoa! Glad it was empty! I rigged it to be functional if we just hovered over it, without any weight, by holding it together with other things I had. It was in a separate floorless tent (designed for showering), sitting on a plastic box to keep the cloth off the dirt. None of us dared use it the whole trip. So sitting in an unused and zipped little shower hut that we didn't shower in, at the end of 4 days with only a few hours of light rain the second day, the cloth felt damp. I didn't want it in my car, so I threw it away. The most expensive camping gear mistake I've ever made. A cloth toilet? No. A cloth toilet with weak seems? Definitely not. The two stars are because it does pack small and the concept is good if developed with better materials.
