Travel John
Whilst at the Emergency Services Show I came across Travel John, a portable urinal you can take and use pretty much anywhere when a toilet is not available.
Designed and marketed for emergency workers who don’t always have access to a loo, it’s a product that also makes perfect sense for everyone who spends a lot of time in vehicles, camping, at sporting events, on the boat, or days at the beach
The Travel John is leakproof, sturdy, slender leakproof plastic bag containing a super-absorbent gel that instantly soaks up, retains, and neutralises liquid. It holds a respectable 800ml, which ought to be enough to give most anyone relief.
It’s also completely disposable, doesn’t leak smells and features an anatomically-shaped piece at the top of the bag that also allows women to use this while standing.
Although meant for urine, this also makes for a perfect sick bag, and is a practical item to have in your glovebox and travel kit.
It’s incredibly useful for when camping, especially if you are caught short in the middle of the night and don't really want to venture outside into the cold, dark damp night.
With a Travel John all you need to do unzip your sleeping bag, and if you’re a bloke, simply roll onto your side, or kneel, put everything in position and go for it! Once done you re-seal it, use the complimentary ‘moist towelette’ and go back to sleep.
You can choose from the traditional plastic version or the new sustainable paper version. There’s also a solid waste disposable kit available.
