## Description

desertcart.com : TravelJohn Disposable Urinal Bags 28oz (18 Pack) – Road Trip Essentials for Men, Women & Kids – Odorless Leakproof Portable Urine Bags – Ideal for Camping, Emergencies & Long Car Rides (TJ1A-C) : Incontinence Protection Products : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Amazingly effective and easy to use - TL;DR - awesome product for bathroom emergencies on the road, at a concert venue, any place you'd need an emergency loo. Simply throw the bag away when you're done with it. Don't worry about overflowing. It will absorb several normal sized bladder volumes. Also, no odor. The main mechanism of this product is Sodium Polyacrylate (AKA "waterlock") in a polypropylene "spun" pouch, which is then inside a plastic bag. Sodium Polyacrylate absorbs somewhere between 300 - 800 times its weight in liquid, depending on the sodium content of the liquid. When you pee into the container, the urine is absorbed and "locked" inside the sodium polyacrylate as a gel. Amazingly, there is no odor, and as long as you leave pouch inside the plastic bag, there is no mess or liquid leaking. The absorption occurs within about 15 seconds, and once it does, the urine is locked in that gel as a solid mass. Be aware that because you have body heat, the gel will be warm for a while after use. That might be a gross out for some people, but hey, bodily fluids. I measured it, and there's 19 grams of SPA in the pouch, and while the manufacturer says the maximum absorption volume is 800 ml (28 ounces), I did an experiment and put the SPA in a ball jar and it was able to absorb a whopping 2000 ml (approx 64 ounces). I'm certain it would absorb more if I had a larger jar. SPA is non toxic (it's a common additive in foods and cosmetics as a thickener.) Cool stuff!
Review: Outstanding - 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!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Crucial for interstate travel with kids!
*by A***R on August 26, 2021*

We discovered the Travel John's a few years ago and now we don't ever travel without them! We typically purchase 2 packs of 20, which will get 2 adults and 3 kids from the Midwest to the coast and back. We also make sure to keep at least 3 in both cars for every day use in case of emergencies while doing errands or commutes. It is truly amazing how many opportunities will present themselves when you know you have them in the glove compartment. When driving, bathroom runs are SO MUCH faster when the kiddos don't have to exit the car at the gas station (and walk through all the chip and candy aisles). Just remember to keep some Wet Ones and a roll of tp close by so everything can go in the trash with the Travel John while the gas tank is filling up. The basic mechanics break down to a funnel with a baggie attachment. The funnel fits over the frontal nether region (works for both boys and girls from child to adult). The baggie is filled with that powdery stuff they use in diapers. When you deposit fluids, the powder expands, turning to gel in about half a minute. The baggies can be used 2 or 3 times before it reaches capacity. They are perfect for day trips to the zoo, beach, botanic garden, playground, amusement park, museum--basically anywhere you have to run halfway around the world and back to get to a bathroom just to wait in a painfully long line of ppl who, like your kid, are on the verge of breaching their respective reserves. And if you are as blessed as we are with an especially sensitive kiddo who absolutely hates the surprisingly sonorous whoosh of automatic flushing toilets, then you will appreciate the relief it brings your child to know that thoughts of being spontaneously flushed down the toilet are finally and forever dispelled. I do not exaggerate when I say you need these in your life--it will make trips with the family--dare I say--enjoyable;-P
