A urinal for your pocket

A urinal for your pocket

Sometimes, you really, really have to pee and there's no toilet in sight. Be it in the car, on the street or at your little sisters dance recital, you have to go and you have to go now. That's what the TravelJohn disposable urinal is all about.

Simply bust out your portable friend and do your business into them while trying to not let the other ticket holders of the symphony notice. The biodegradable polymer in the bag will turn your foul liquid into an odorless gel that won't spill, letting you pocket it and toss it later. Who needs bathrooms?

that sounds awful. i don't think anyone wants to carry around a bag of piss.

Looks like a great idea to me, especially if it works for women.

By nicholasjh at 6:22 PM ON 07/07/09

and I like the little joke on the side of the bag.

If the company charges $200,000 will the military buy it?

it looks like it's formed to the front of a vagina... not really penis shaped.

OMG- really? I can't decide what is worse, peeing in your pants, or having it "biodegrade"

I use these when I'm watching a movie at the theater. It sucks when I leave them on the floor, and forget to throw them out.

Poor clean up crew. I hope kids don't step on them.

Great idea.

Jake...I would be more concerned with the kids that toss them at other people.
So much for waterballoons of yesteryear...now you have to watch out from being hit by a bag of pee-gel

I can just hear the jeers from little kids now..."Potty in your pocket! Potty in your pocket!"

By jay trini at 3:31 PM ON 07/08/09

Wow!! I just had to break my silence ( I don't usually comment). So now I can collect my pee and put it in plants... or I could just pee on the plant. Or save money, but it costs less to use the public loos. Or I could hold my pee. But that's dangerous. OK!!! I'll take a dozen cases.

By @fairyshrooms at 9:04 PM ON 07/08/09

I'll stick to peeing behind a tree or something...f that!

By suze at 12:42 AM ON 07/09/09

Great. More needless plastic crap to end up in landfills and oceans.

Whatever did civilized people do before stupid stuff like this was invented? The very few people who are incontinent have other more dignified ways of handling this matter.

We are becoming a nation of helpless slobs with zero dignity or common sense.

By Ladycore at 3:15 PM ON 07/14/09

Seriously Suze, if I would be incontinent, I would seriously consider buying those instead of wearing a diaper (wich does a lot of crap too). The thing is, I might not have enough time to find the bag before I would pee in my pants! :(
