Benefits of technology

This patent describes an improved system for a portable and private restroom. The system includes a hooded poncho that allows the user to shield their body and use the toilet without being seen. There are also disposable bags for urine and feces, and disposable wipes for cleaning. The system is compact and easily disposable, and includes an opening for easy use. The invention also contains foldable bags for urine and feces, as well as convenient labeling for easy access and disposal.

Problems solved by technology

The prior art mentioned in the previous section does not provide the combined benefits of my invention, namely, a complete and highly portable restroom system that shields the user from public view and is compactable and disposable.
However, unlike my invention, the portable outhouses are not pocket-sized and cannot be used or worn discreetly.
The outer coat is not compactable and disposable.
However, they are far less compactable than my invention that can fit in a pocket or a purse and is disposable.
