TravelJohn-Disposable Urinal (6 Pack)

I'm a bit different -- I'm a female private investigator. This means I have to sit in my car for hours. When men are private investigators, they can just use a bottle. I don't want to have to leave the scene I'm investigating just because I'm a girl. These Traveljohns are amazing. I tried something else before that didn't work at all. With traveljohns, I don't even have to get out of the front seat of my car. It's kind of gross to discuss, but these work and they do not leak. No accidents. Just make sure the bag is straight and not twisted. Also, they do have a limit on the amount of liquid they can take (although it's a lot), so if you have to go really badly just make sure you are mindful of when it is getting full. As I said, not pleasant to discuss, but I read all of the reviews before I purchased the product, and they helped me decide. So perhaps this review will help someone else decide. You will not be disappointed. ***update: still loving them and don't know how I lived without them. Someone else mentioned putting them in individual ziplock bags before you leave home, along with a paper towel. This is a must. Then you have somewhere to put your used (full and heavy) bag. Love love love these!

I purchased a pack a while ago and stored 2 in each vehicle's glove compartment......and I'm glad I did! One time I was stuck in some major traffic and had to go real bad, but I couldn't go into any building as my baby was sleeping, so I stopped in a parking lot, opened the Travel John, and let loose! I bought another pack to add more for another vehicle and a growing family just in case.

I get stuck in traffic jams and occasionally have to go badly. I did a lot of research into which disposable urinal to get and this came up with the best reviews. The first time I used it, it made a huge mess contrary to what most reviewers said. A lot of it leaked. The major part of the reason is that I didn't read the instructions. The long side is suppose to be pointing up. After that, I decided to do a test it out properly at home sitting in my tub. Even when it was used correctly (long side up and press firmly against the skin) there was still some leaking, ~ 1 teaspoon or so. I will continue to keep these in my car, but in addition, to having a ziplock bag to hold the urinal after using it, I will also have in my car a weewee pad to put underneath the seat so that when it leaks, the urine will not get onto the car seat.

For me (female) they were easy to use with no drips, though I did hold a plastic bag under them the first few times because I didn't trust them. But now I trust them, and I'm no longer a slave to my bladder. What a godsend when there's not a bathroom handy - camping, hiking, etc. It solidifies quickly and there's no odor. You can use them a couple of times before they fill up. I put them in a ziploc in my tote til I find a trash can to throw them into. Now that I've discovered them, I'm hooked and will probably be buying them for the rest of my life!My only gripe is that the current Amazon price is quite high, and you can get them for much less at other stores. I wish I'd done a quick google search before I ordered them here. Still rating 5 stars, though. It's a great product : )

What I love about this:- It's compact.I'm notorious for hiding tampons everywhere possible, because I just never know when that when that red devil's going to rear its ugly head. Well now I'm probably going to be known for hiding urinals. Seriously these things are so tiny for what they offer. In the glove box, in my backpack, under the seat of my motorcycle (I'm pretty sure it'll even fit under the rear seat of my sport bike. The problem would be transporting the filled bag. Lol anyway..). Every inconvenient place to pee should have one.- It doesn't stink.So I have this portable toilet. The plastic kind you might put in a boat or camper. That's great until it's time to dump it. Or in my case, until something breaks on it and causes P*** to go all over the floor in the middle of the night. (Where I sleep it just makes more sense to have it than not.. I have to trek through the outdoors if I want to use indoor plumbing. In the dead of winter? No thanks. I drink too much.) So yeahhh. No more of that. I'll just keep the urinal bag in a bucket until it's time to toss it. Problem solved. By the way, carpet deodorizing powder and vinegar finally did the trick... Ugh. Gross.- It's tidy.See above.- It works.Again, see above. The idea is to CONTAIN the urine.What I don't love:- Negative impact on the environment.So obviously you're throwing out a plastic bag full of a bodily fluid. Is this even safe? Is it morally/ethically or socially acceptable? Probably not. Is that enough to make me hold it until my eyeballs turn yellow? Not a chance. Too many times I've nearly hurt myself waiting to use a toilet (New York City, I'm looking at you).I'm hoping that someday some brilliant accidental discovery will result in the general public being able to instantly dehydrate their waste, leaving minimal impact. Until that happens I'm probably going to keep taking advantage of these modern conveniences.The bottom line is that these are amazing. I only wish I had figured this out back when I was living out of my vehicle. Better yet I wish I had come up with the idea myself. Maybe then I wouldn't have been living out of my ride. Lol Oh well.
