Travel John - TravelJane Disposable Urinal Packs for Women (Pack of 3)

I trialled it first: standing with feet a foot apart. Worked fine but you’d have to wear a skirt or loose trousers (it’s pretty bulky once used), not to mention loose knickers (you need to move the gusset to one side) and you’d need to wipe yourself afterwards - hardly discreet but how could anything be? No smell, no leakage (reasons why I won’t be getting the reusable types - in the confined space of a car, with possibly other passengers, you don’t want to be worrying about the noise or smell whilst going, let alone fluid disposal later - you have none of those worries with these. Yes, expensive per use but in an emergency, worth every bloomin penny). I popped the tissues in the bag, folded the bag up & put it in a carrier bag. I have an enlarged bladder, holding a litre is nothing, I was worried the bag wouldn’t take it but it was absolutely fine, no spillage or overflow at all.For the car, I’d pack it in the glove box with a pack of pocket size tissues and a plastic bag to put it in; you’d have to perch on the edge of your seat and, if necessary, cover your lap with a scarf or something - if you’re desperate enough to need to use one of these, then we’re talking about having a very full bladder and so using this could take a while! So in this age of IT eyes always on the alert etc just be ready to protect your modesty & make sure you are safe, preferably parked.Try one out in comfort first so you’re prepared - it’s quite an odd sensation, men wouldn’t care less about going by a hedgerow but for women it’s different, it’s not something we’re accustomed to doing so you need a bit of practice to understand about “letting go” on the go. Not whilst driving obviously! In a traffic jam or preferably a secluded lay-by, fine. In an emergency, it’s a godsend. You may have some appalled & traumatised passengers though.... but then again, they may very well not even notice.Once you’ve used one & got your head around it, there’ll be no looking back - it’s actually hugely liberating. I now never have to plan for urgent toilet stops when driving - a big stressor gone!I think you’d only buy the 3 pack once so for the extra £2, I’d recommend the 6 pack then you can have one in multiple cars as well as handbags etcAnd yes, there are solid waste versions; also handy for vomit! Consider your life revolutionised!! Mine may very well be - I’ve got serious IBS which meant I’d lost confidence in being far from a loo at all times - it totally restricts your life & I hadn’t appreciated how much until I thought of all those deserted, off-the-track beaches I used to go to all the time - now I’m happy to go back. You can also get pop up tents & unfolding loo seats like tripod stools - the world is your toilet! Happy days!!NB: so the day came, utter emergency, happily I’d left a bag in the car desk thing, tight jeans on - pulled into a quiet country lane off the main road, had to have feet outside the car, it was hard to go, let alone fully empty my bladder BUT it kept me going till I got to a loo. I was with my husband, it was hilarious although I felt quite vulnerable but it was better than attempting to squat behind a hedge. Will I stop wearing tight jeans? No. Live your life, get on with it. These are a great tool to help you, I wouldn’t be without them. And I will make sure each car is fully kitted out now, with at least one of these, tissues, wet wipes & bag, plus modesty blanket. I’d keep one in my handbag only I went to a theatre talk by Ruby Wax earlier this year and was on the second row and she picked up a woman’s handbag and started going through it, can you imagine? Thank you, Ruby, you’ve made me so much more neurotic ...

What a godsend for those middle of the night camping loo trips. Saved me tripping over guy ropes and getting soaked . Now a permanent feature in my car emergency pack!

Great for emergencies. Helped when the toilets on the campsite were out of action. What a great necessity to have. I would definitely recommend and buy this again.

Bought for my daughter to attend festivals as she has very weak bladder so trudging to nearest loo or holding on was not an option. She recommends them 100% very easy to use and very hygenic.

These are terrible. I took them to a festival and they would not close and the capacity seems a lot less then the Travel Johns. To be honest i prefer the Travel John, they a much more comfy and cost efficient then these.

These have been fantastic. Used when ‘caught short’ in a traffic jam, camping etc

Quite pricey ( hence only 4 stars)if camping for several days, but brilliant for in the night without leaving the tent

Good quality, easy to use
