TravelJohn Disposable Urinal for Men, Women & Children 3 units (Pack of 1)

This falls under the category: so basic and easy and works so well. Perfect for situations when you want to avoid a public restroom. Easy to use (for men and women) and works as described (liquid immediately gels and can fill up to maximum without spilling; the fuller it gets, need to wait a few seconds).

I ordered these in preparation for a week-long trip hiking in the Rockies. As a female, it's much more challenging for me to relieve myself in the wilderness than it is for my male companion, so I wanted some options. I tried the You Go Girl funnel device in the past, but only ever used it on a test run because I just didn't like how it was designed. This year, I decided to try some other options. I got the pStyle and these. I will take these on my hiking trip, but for what I'm doing, I prefer the pStyle because with it, I'm not left with a bag of gelled urine to carry around until I find a trash can, which is pretty limited hiking in the mountains, and I don't want to add any extra weight to my pack. If I was at a location where I had better access to trash cans, this would probably be my choice. I like that this is really easy to use. You just put it in place and pee. It fills up, gels and works great. I had no problems using it, it wasn't complicated, didn't spill, didn't smell, it just worked. What I didn't like about it was that in practicing being discreet, I tucked the bag into my pant leg so I didn't have to expose myself, but in doing so, I could feel my urine filling the bag, which feels a bit like you're peeing your pants. It seemed to gel up pretty quickly and you can use the cup part to essentially squeegee off any drips, but in the end, it's not convenient for me to have to find a trash can to dump my bag o' pee on a mountain. To clarify some questions I had before ordering this: The cup adapter piece is already attached, so it's ready to go for females. It's a pretty soft cup, so it's not really uncomfortable to use. It's kind of similar to the puke bags at the hospital, but more oval-shaped to fit closely to your body. There's not an exact position to put it in, just get it in a place where you're going to pee into it and go. The bag has a papery-looking pouch inside that I assume is the gelling stuff, but it's rolled up quite small, maybe 1x3 inches so it's easy to fit in pretty much whatever you're carrying. It says it can hold 28 ounces so it can be reused if there's room. You could probably fill it more than that since there's room between the 28oz line and the top, but I'm assuming there's a reason why they cut you off at 28oz, so I wouldn't push it. For the record, during my "test pee," I filled it to 20oz, but I am quite hydrated. I probably could not use it more than once (and would be kinda grossed out to, to be honest). There isn't really a tie off or anything, so once you go, as far as I can tell you just have this gelled up bag of pee, so you might want to bring along something to tie it off with and maybe a dog poo bag or grocery sack to toss it in. I don't think it's going to really leak since the liquid gets absorbed into the gel pack, but if you have an open bag of gel pee sitting around, there's potential for it to spill. Overall, I would absolutely use this at a place that had plentiful garbage cans. I wish I would've had something like this when I was a vendor at street fairs and events and had to use nasty porta-potties that had been sitting out in the hot sun all day. It's a great product and I'm glad to have it as a backup for when it would be a more suitable device than my pStyle.

Okay so first and foremost these are a little pricy 9USD for 3? The price on these would be a little easier to swallow at a price point closer to 6USD. Secondly these are listed as "unisex," personally i don't buy it. Maybe is you coupled them with a product like "go girl," maybe; but at that point wouldn't it be easier to just pull over? I bought these for my morning and afternoon commute. I live a ways away from the city in which i work and pulling over on the highway isn't always the easiest or safest idea, especially in heavy traffic. These are a great last ditch stuck in traffic stop gap, good enough to get you buy and they're opaque. So when you get out of the car you don't have that walk of shame with a bottle of "apple juice" to look forward to.

I was stuck in my car in a snowstorm and it took me over three hours to drive what normally takes 15 minutes. My poor daughter was caught in one several years ago and it took her 8 hours to make it home, which usually took 30-45 minutes. If we had had these in our car what a wonderful thing - my little son would not have had to urinate on the snow-covered highway. Aside from being an excellent option when stuck in traffic with no way of relieving oneself, I experienced an in-hospital problem after a procedure where I had to keep one leg straight for 12 hours with an IV running wide open to flush contrast dye out of my body. This necessitated someone rolling me onto my side and then rolling me back onto a pink, teeny, hard, plastic bedpan, if you can call it that - numerous times. The edges dug into my posterior and it felt like I was being sliced open. If I ever am in the hospital again for such a procedure, I am going to bring my own supply of these wonderful devices so I can be a do-it-myself patient. Highly recommend.

This saved me one time when our car broke down away from home, and I was grateful I had been keeping one in my glovebox ever since the pandemic. It was easy to use, no mess, no smell, easy to dispose of. Immediately replaced it with a new one in the glovebox when I got our car back. You never know when you might be glad you did.

These are amazing for women which I am and can only speak from that point of view. I would never travel without them. Stay over at peoples' houses that you don't know if you can get to a bathroom during the night? These are wonderful. So handy and all you need are handy wipes which you put right in the bag after use. I use it multiple times during the night and never have to bother anyone with trips through others bedrooms or up/down stairs. Just handy, clean and so dependable.

I got these as an emergency last resort for when my family takes an eternity in our one bathroom, but they ended up saving the day in a way I did not anticipate. Turns out the plumbing of my home was severely outdated and the pipes were collapsing. That meant no using the toilet unless I wanted raw sewage to flood the basement. I had to wait about 4 hours for an emergency visit from Roto-Rooter to make an unscheduled visit to resolve the issue. What would have been an agonizingly long wait to the point of having to discreetly use my own backyard, instead became no problem at all thanks to these. Don’t underestimate the ability this grants you to hygienically do your business in any given situation. Just be mindful that these are somewhat pricey, only 3 uses per pack, so either stock up or save them for when you really can’t hold it anymore. Also in case you’re curious, these are clearly meant exclusively for urinating purposes, I wouldn’t recommend counting on these for the “other end” unless it was a true emergency since “catching it all” in this could be tricky and potentially messy.

I ordered this product and decided to try it out before I got on the road. They work just like advertised. I had no problem using it. The liquid absorbed quickly and it Is good for multiple uses until full. It would get a 5 but it has a hard a plastic cupping. Other than that, I like.
