How to put it together
- 1
Put on a solid white long-sleeve shirt and white pants to create a clean, uniform background.
- 2
Slip the white polyfoam toilet tunic over your head, adjusting the shoulder straps so the bowl sits at hip level.
- 3
Ensure the toilet seat lid on the front of the tunic is securely attached and can swing open freely.
- 4
Carry a clean, brand-new plunger as your primary prop.
- 5
Drape a roll of toilet paper over your shoulder or loop it onto a string around your neck for an extra funny detail.
Makeup & hair
Keep your hair simple and out of the way, or wear a white beanie to match the porcelain aesthetic. No heavy makeup is required, but a clean, neutral face works best.

Tips

- Practice sitting down beforehand; you may need to lift the tunic up or slide it off if chairs have armrests.
Toilet costume FAQ
- How do you sit down in a foam toilet costume?
- Since the foam is flexible, you can usually fold the front upward, but for tight chairs, it is easiest to temporarily slip the tunic off.
- What are some good DIY materials for a toilet costume?
- Cardboard boxes painted gloss white, white foam board for the seat, and blue cellophane inside the bowl to mimic water.
- Is this costume comfortable for a long party?
- Yes, it is very lightweight, but wear breathable clothing underneath since polyfoam does not ventilate well.
