Is the 7 gallon any wider or just taller? I bought the Lug-a-loo brand. Works OK, but a bit short front to back. I would love an extra 2-3". Not to get too personal, I know some people can hold their #1 while they go #2. I cannot. The experience is not pleasant trying to get the junk up front in while also going #2. Do-able, but not comfortable at all.

Taller,...............easier for us older stiff knee adventurers to stand up from. Otherwise dimensions (diameter) are the same. Number 1,that is what the GEL is for. Turns liquid into a gel. I imagine kitty litter (cpst) would work, (cheaper),......just heavier after using for processing..
PS"...update 12/9/22..................................Order delivered complete and then assembled. Parts fit as designed. Kitchen trash bags fit nicely. I doubled them up 2x for leak/strength peace of mind , You can use the assembled toilet to carry the Gel pouch and a roll of TP and wipes. as well as some hand sanitizer, pre-use . They all fit inside easily for transport.
Concerning men. yes a little directional tuck is advisable for anyone with a large body frame (husky). A tight fit. Women should not have this issue, to contend with, but that said . the extra height does vastly help when standing up. This was my main concern and why I was willing to spend the extra money for the 7 gallon size. The seat is not large but it does what it is there for.
PSS:....update 12/24.22.....................Purchased a small 5 lb bag of JOHNNY CAT litter. Compact and only cost $2,79 vs $15 for the gel. So right around $80 total outlay , as I had already had trash bags on hand. It also fit in the unit for pre use transport
I hope I answered most any question you might have contemplated about this subject concerning cost and functionality. Some companies seem very willing to ask for the moon for their products. A little bulky but light weight vs say a cartridge unit.
