A foldable, portable personal commode is disclosed according to the teachings of the present invention including a case having an openable top and front. A toilet seat is pivotally mounted to a block secured in the case. A U-shaped support is pivotally mounted to the toilet seat and removably holds the toilet seat in its horizontal position when the free ends of its legs are vertically inserted in sockets secured to the front when it is in its open position. The toilet seat and U-shaped support may be pivoted generally parallel to each other and arranged vertically within the case allowing closing of the front and top of the case. L-shaped arm supports may be removably secured to the vertical sides of the U-shaped support to face either forward or rearward. A removable U-shaped back rest is adjustably inserted in the block of the case. The toilet seat includes affixed hardware which supports a removable collar which slideably receives the opening of a plastic bag retained thereon by a rubber band. The case acts as a space efficient, storage container for the internal components when positioned inside of the closed case which may then be easily carried by a handle attached to the top. The case forms the supporting structure for the toilet in its opened, operative position, with the bottom, front, and sides of the case forming an interlocking cube. The U-shaped support and the arm support(s) keep the center of gravity of the user well within the base formed by the bottom and front of the case to prevent sideways tipping.
