TravelJohn Disposable Urinal Bags – Road Trip Essentials for Men, Women & Kids – Odorless Leakproof Portable Urine Bags – Ideal for Camping, Emergencies & Long Car Rides (TJ1A-C)

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!

After reading a lot of reviews, I was kind of amazed how many women said they use them in the car. Let me say that if you've got some, ah, junk in the trunk (and I don't mean the car's trunk), you probably would not want to attempt to use this while sitting in the car, unless you're pulled over and can get your hips well off the seat. Some women have mentioned maneuvering (ie kneeling on the seat), and if that's possible, ok, try it. (I personally wouldn't; would just get out of the car so the bag will hang properly to do your thing.) That being said: once you figure out how to use it (practice in the shower. Can't suggest that enough!), it's a handy thing to keep in your bag or car for emergencies. It's also useful if you're like me and find airplane bathrooms too teeny to much move around in, and you worry you might pee on your pants while attempting to use the toilet. (Airlines really need to make bathrooms more humane, like they used to, but in the meantime, the Travel John helps, especially if you don't want to wear an adult diaper!) Most importantly, the bag really soaks up and holds on to fluid. I drive Uber and bought some modern barf bags, but those bags had nothing to prevent backsplash. Having the liner which turns into gel means that these bags can double in an emergency as barf bags, with minimal chance of backsplash.

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.

These are fantastic! The gel works pretty fast and is pretty simple to figure out how to us. Everything that hits the gel-making technology loses it's odor. The opening is just about perfect in size for a woman to use. I'd give this five stars if it had a way to seal. The description indicates it can be used all the way up to 28 fl oz, but whatever doesn't make it's way down to the "magic" that makes it turn to a solid gel still emits an odor. I recommend putting this into a ziplock between uses to eliminate the light odor (I used a 1 Gal & it was perfect!)

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....

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!

Works great, compact and easy to use.

Es un producto muy útil, y fácil de usar a diferencia de otras marcas. He usado de 4 marcas, y esta es la que más me ha gustado. Tengo 2 niñas pequeñas, estas bolsas me han salvado cuando nos quedamos atoradas en el tráfico o en cualquier otro lugar sin un baño disponible. Algo caro , pero vale la pena
