TravelJohn-Disposable Urinal

These are fantastic and I continually buy and use these. I carry these with me when I go out with a toddler, and they are a life saver when you get the "I need a wee wee" call when there are no toilets around. They hold a lot of liquid and if not filled can be sealed and placed in a bag for reuse again later. The speed at which the liquid in taken into the get is about 30 seconds so its a fast turn around. The gel also stops the additional contents from smelling. How do know this? because two weeks after using one at a summer air show with said toddler I found the used bag in the door pocket of the car, with no smell. Additionally I also carry these when taking out wheel chair bound, catheterized clients as they can be used discretely out and about to empty their bags when the correct facilities and equipment is not at hand, resulting in being able to take them out for longer and further. They would also be useful for camping, especially in winter when you don't want to leave the tent. The tops are also contoured to cup on male and females, but I can only comment on the male usage which is comfortable. One warning, when you open them to use, make sure that you open the clip seal just below the cup so the liquid can go into the bag, just saying!

This is an ideal product for festivals, travelling, or anywhere you might be caught short without acceptable toilet facilities. I tested it at home, and as it says on the packet, the crystals jellify, and it can be used more than once. Worryingly I could only fit one and three quarter wees in it, and the second one takes longer to solidify, but does within five minutes. It can then be sealed and safely binned. Pelvic floor control is necessary if you are going to use it for a second time! But, nevertheless, an excellent product that does exactly what it should.

These are fabulous. Easy to use. But gosh are they getting pricey. I use each one a couple of times. It's a very expensive wee, but beats going out and facing the unpredictable English weather . I never go camping without them. Using them for over 10 years or more . Never failed on me.

Very useful to have in your travel bag or glove box. Also good for camping.

Bought for a Glastonbury trip that included 6 nights in a tent, to avoid me having to get up middle of the night or early morning to stagger to the toilets after a night of drinking. These were the best thing I took with me! They do exactly what they say they will. No leaks whatsoever and they can be sealed and then disposed of when you eventually surface for the day. They could be used again if you didn't fill it up first time (800mls!) but I didn't bother because I had quite a few of them spare. They weren't needed every night but it was good to have them when needed. Came with little sanitiser wipes for hands which was handy. The crystals in the bottom of each urinal mean that the urine solidifies quite quickly, and there is a press-close strip near the top, like the zip-lock thing some sandwich bags have. This means it is sealed in case you kicked it over or something and makes it easy to put inside a bag and throw in the bin when you are up and about later. Some might say it's a bit lazy, but I think they are a great idea and they take away one of the things that I don't like about camping. *2016 Edit Ok, I'm more experienced with these things having used them a fair bit over the last 2 years, always for camping, usually festivals. I would add the following to my original review; 1. They encourage laziness, for the solo camper especially. Why bother ever leaving the tent for a whiz, when you have one of these wee beauties to hand? Disgraceful I know! The absolute opposite of bladder training lol, these are for bladder un-training! Need a pee? Why wait even a minute, just whip it out, locate Travel John and bob's your uncle. Unless you are in a huge tent and lots of other people are in with you. 2. The concept of 're-useable' needs to be thought through before putting into practice. Ask yourself just how likely it is that your next wee will be a lesser amount than the space still available. After several alarming incidents, I am now firmly of the opinion that these are single use only for me. Perhaps YMMV if you are not a beer monster, or if you have the bladder capacity of a small child. If you still intend to use twice then I recommend pelvic floor exercises/Kegels for several years in advance. 3. Be careful when you use these things for the first few times. It's fine when you have reached Zen master level in Travel John usage as I have, but for the beginner, planning is everything. Fail to prepare, prepare to fail... see below. 4. Where will you put it when you have finished peeing? My advice - stood up inside your walking boot! This gives you a chance to sort yourself out and then tackle the ziplock thingy whilst it stands there in the upright position, slowly solidifying. Making sure that the seal is definitely sealed is key to your success. The misery of Sudden Tipped-Over Unsealed TravelJohn (STOUT), is instant, all pervading, and complete. Watching a wave of 800mls of urine streaming across your tent floor toward you in the early hours is a frightening and depressing sight. 5. Linked to lazy comment above, consider disposing of full Travel John sooner rather than later. Should you be in the fortunate position of inviting a 'new friend' back to your tent at a festival, the sight of several sealed and bloated Travel Johns sitting up like plump new born piglets in your tent porch will require some explaining, and will probably ensure the visit is shorter than anticipated. This has actually happened to me. The second reason for early disposal is that tents are like greenhouses in the summer months. I once had an already full Travel John become almost too hot to touch and the last thing I wanted to do was push the seal and integrity of the thing beyond its safe operating conditions. The sooner the damn things are out of the tent and into a bin the better is my philosophy now. 6. Remember you will likely be using this in the dark, or at least you should be, so familiarise yourself with how it's all going to work prior to first use. Resist the temptation to illuminate your new 'toilet' with a head torch or any form of light really. Otherwise you will likely be projecting a light show onto the walls of your tent for others to see, and the image of you on your knees, todger out, doing something 'down there' into something, will at the very least be the cause of some difficult questions the following morning. 7. Men - do not under any circumstances insert member fully into Travel John. This is both unnecessary and painful, as the opening apparatus may seem smooth on the outside but inside can be like some sort of plastic Venus fly trap. So only insert as much as you absolutely have to to avoid spillages. Conversely, don't try any Travel John stunts either, i.e. attempting to increase the distance 'twixt willy and bag. Sadly, the occasions when you might attempt such a feat (e.g. after multiple pints of Thatchers Gold cider at a festival), are the very times when any such shenanigans are doomed to failure. Keep it simple, don't court danger. 8. I think someone else suggested this. Kneel on a towel. It is more comfy on your knees and it doubles as a sponge in case of disaster. 9. Men again (probably). If camping with other men, you must Be the bigger man and say no when someone drunkenly suggests playing a game that involves using a full and sealed Travel John in place of a water balloon. The bit when it bursts as someone catches it is not as much fun in real life as you thought it would be, it's actually quite gross. Hope that helps.

was a bit unsure but after reading the reviews i thought i'd try them, we go camping a lot and have recently upgraded to a camper van and sometimes getting to th loos is hard going if its chucking it down are its very dark or you simply left it too late and need to walk crossed leg as fast as possible to th toilets c'mon ladies we've all done it!!!! great for kiddies that dont want their bottoms shown to the whole motorway dont think men need it as they all seem to revert back to their inner caveman!!!!! anyway does exactly as it says pee turns into a solid block zip lock the packet and throw in the bin no mess no smell and even comes with handwipes.i used one at home just to become accustomed to it and like one review says your hand will feel warm but dont be tempted to move its just the bag filling up,

I always have these in our campervan for emergencies. They are easy to use (once you done it once you’re good to go!). They dry up quickly and are durable. Good capacity and even though they may seem a bit pricey (as it’s only for a wee!), they are kind of invaluable if you get caught short on your travels.

I have been using these for years when camping- never leaks,or spills. Have tried other brands but these are the best in my opinion

das ist eine funktionierende Nothilfe vom Feinsten, denn Männer hier könnt ihr wirklich eine Stange Wasser in die Ecke stellen. Anfangs war ich skeptisch, hatte schon andere ausprobiert, entweder war die Flüssigkeitsaufnahme zu wenig oder es reagierte sehr mangelhaft, es war eine Sauerei. Adamus und Traveljohn, letzterer mein Favorit. Ensorgt wird natürlich nicht in der Ecke....

As a woman on the road, these are a lifesaver!!! You can actually just stuff them down your pants and do your thing. It’s weird at first, but I never had any leaks or drips. The gel forms instantly so there’s no sloshing around, and no smell at all. Way more discrete than crouching behind a tree. I recommend keeping a roll of TP and a garbage bags near by so you can use them, then toss them.

Muy útiles, 100% recomendados , sobre todo si tienen niños pequeños !

Really an improvement over alternatives, however is hard to seal after use. Fun.

Muy útiles cuándo viajo con mis hijas, o entro a un baño muy sucio.
