TravelJohn Disposable Urinal Bags – Leakproof – (TJ1A-C)

Holy smokes, there are not enough good things to say about these fantastic contraptions. For the first time in my life I peed standing up. I was in heaven. I am back home from a trip where I used these for the first time and couldn't wait to write my review. There I was out on a hike in a national park. I had to go. Time to find a private space in the woods. Found a secluded tree, got this baby out, pressed it up against me and did my business. WOW!!! No spillage, no problems, no nothing but pee in a bag. Gelled instantly. I was initially worried that the cup was too narrow and wouldn't fully cover, but it was perfectly sized. I got two uses out of one bag. Maybe it could have held more but I only had to go twice so I didn't check to see how full it was. Although, I probably would have used a fresh one if I had to go a third time so as to not worry about any possible overflow. I brought a ziploc bag to put this in after use as well as for my used toilet paper and wipes. Kept everything clean and tidy in my backpack. No urine smell at all. Once I was back to civilization, I simply tossed the ziploc into the trash. Done. I will never be without one of these in my purse EVER again. I would rather use a TravelJohn than squatting over some foul toilet in a public restroom. I am hooked on these and will be buying more so I can always have plenty on hand for whenever, wherever.

The portable toilet is good overall and works as expected. However, it does not have the zipper shown in the product video, which was disappointing. Everything else is fine, but the product should match the video description

This really is an outstanding product and easy to rate at 5 stars. Use this device as a portable urinal for potty breaks when a toilet is not available, sitting or standing, for men, women, or children. Sanitary, leakproof, and completely disposable. Use for disaster preparedness at home, car trips, camping, backpacking, sporting events, on the boat, days at the beach... anywhere. Though purposely meant for urine, this also makes for a perfect airsick/seasick/carsick bag. Small, light, packabe, relatively inexpensive, and discreet, these are super handy to have in your glovebox, camp kit, or otherwise nearby. Here are the main points of my review based on my family's use: * Convenient - Ever been on a road trip miles from nowhere when the tiny, urgent voice in the back seat says "Daddy, I have to go pee pee?" Funnily, my daughter only mentions this when she's got about 30 seconds of restraint left. Well, this product is a lifesaver for that particular situation. If ever you or a loved one has had to go - RIGHT NOW - this is the product you want in your glovebox, kit, or purse. What it is: Basically a sturdy, slender leakproof plastic bag containing a super-absorbent gel that instantly soaks up, retains, and neutralizes liquid. It holds a respectable 28 ounces, which ought to be enough to give most anyone relief. * Unisex - An excellent and smart feature is an anatomically-shaped piece at the top of the bag that allows ladies and girls to use this while standing. My wife has attested that this feature is huge in the convenience department, and my daughter mostly just got a kick out of the novelty of it. As both have reported, the device works well and keeps the liquid from going where it is not wanted. For men and boys, it's used the usual way: while standing. * Versatile - So long as you have the barest modicum of privacy (in the shade of an open car door, tree, bush, etc.) you can use this anywhere. Is the nearest bathroom 40 miles away? No problem. Are you in an area that doesn't permit cat holes? (eg: ecologically sensitive areas in the backcountry) No problem. Is the only toilet accessible to you such a nightmare that you don't even want to go near the thing? No problem. This device is a sure kidney-saver when you really have to go, but just can't wait to get to the nearest (acceptable) toilet. As mentioned, this also works as an excellent motion sickness bag. * Sanitary and responsible - I regret to admit there have been times in my life that I've gone places I shouldn't have, because I didn't have an option. This device gives you the option so you can be responsible about taking the call of nature. It allows you not to create a mess, as the bag holds everything you pour into it. (up to 28 ounces) It allows you to not leave your puddle where it oughtn't be; this is especially important in the back country as so many streams are fouled by increasing numbers of hikers and backpackers relieving themselves near or (God forbid) in the water. When you are done using this device, just take it with you until the nearest trash can and toss it in. That's it! * Disaster preparedness - I live in earthquake country and it is a very real concern and possibility that we'll lose water (and therefore the toilet) in the event of a major earthquake. These disposable urinals are part of my emergency kit so we can keep things sanitary for days or weeks if need be. After all, sanitation would go downhill fast if we had to make do for a week without proper facilities. (I prefer Wag Bags for non-liquid sanitary events) * Value - How much is convenience worth when you really, truly have to go... Right Now? I think that for just under two bucks each, these represent fair value. Naturally, I'd love it if they were cheaper... but I've got significant peace of mind knowing that former road trip/camping call of nature emergencies are easily handled with these, and that I can take care of them in a sanitary, responsible way. For those who also want to prepare for the less common but just as critical non-liquid call of nature emergencies, I recommend Wag Bags, which I find excellent. For the liquid variety, these TravelJohn disposable urinals are outstanding. They work well and they are sanitary and responsible. They are super for women and girls, as they provide a dignified, standing option. Highly recommended for anyone who camps, backpacks in sensitive areas, goes on long road trips, has a boat, or may ever find themselves a little too far away from a useable toilet. Great product!

Just got mine yesterday and tried out today at home. It works! Maybe gross...but I tried to test if it’s multi-use as I trek in mountains a lot and sleep in tents. First time, it turned into gel quickly. Second time, I had to wait for a while (seemed forever) before it solidified (not even that solid). Just don’t go beyond max amount which is marked on the bag. You can’t seal the bag which I don’t like. If I have to use this after this trial, l’ll have to bring another plastic bag to put the used one there, especially if there’s no trash can that’s readily available. That’s more hassle. It’s also expensive; however, I haven’t tried another brand. I don’t mind paying for quality.

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.

These have come in really handy while traveling. Even at parks that don't have bathrooms. The crystals inside absorbs every thing so there is no spillage.

It fit! I worried about that. What was surprising was how quiet it was when relieving myself. And it was easy to use. I have plans for these when I go hiking.

Those disposable urinal bags are life saver in an "emergency" situation. When you got the urgency but no place to run, be grateful to think ahead and keep one of this in the car's glovebox. But try to urinate slowly at the end, because in the first seconds the absorption powder will begin its job but slowly, and if you are having a heavy discharge, you will notice the bag its almost full and you still have enough to continue. Try to stop a moment and continue again. At the end, the jelly like substance has no odor, and doesn't leak. You can keep the used bag in the car without problem, until you find a place to dispose. Its anatomically designed for women use too, but I can't rate that because I'm male. It's just point and shoot. I understand its more complicated for women. Excellent product.

نعم، لو كنت عالق في زحمة سير مرورية أو كنت في مخيم لا يوجد فيه دورة مياه أو ابنك يريد قضاء حاجته (السائل) فلا عليك إلا أن تخرج هذا الكيس الرائع واستخدامه والشعور بالرحة والسعادة لا يقدر بثمن واستخدمته لي وأقاربي من الذكور والاناث، ردود الافعال كانت مذهلة

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....

Facile à utiliser et l'urine se transforme en gel donc pas de dégâts. Idéal pour voyager. On les a utilisés durant le Covid car les toilettes étaient fermés. Pour une discrétion on a mis une petite couverture autour de nous et utilisé la porte ouverte de l'auto comme paravent. Superbe idée.

Schon mal im Stau gestanden und mit der Blase diskutiert? Gott sei dank braucht man das Produkt eher selten, aber wenn der Tag kommt ist man sehr froh das sowas erfunden wurde. Habe mir ein paar davon ins Auto gelegt und sehe dem Stau etwas gelassener entgegen. Die Funktion habe ich getestet und bin zufrieden.

La solución ideal para aquellos que quedan atrapados en el tránsito de la ciudad con niños pequeños que ya controlan esfínteres. Probadas también paseos largos donde los servicios, aunque existen, resultan estar muy lejos. Resultó ser un instrumento que me da tranquilidad al salir con mi hijo. Lamento no poder opinar nada sobre su uso en ñiñas.
