Wonderful product, I will be getting more as I need them. by Jess from Bethel Island CA USA
Pros: gels quickly, no spills, no odors, compact design, easy storage Cons: learning curve for female use, cup a bit narrow Review: This product completely met my expectations. I need to travel alot and sometimes (more times than not) the roadside stops are closed. This product worked as stated. Gels fast, no spillage, and no odors! Wonderful product. I will be keeping these in my car and with me when I fly in small planes without a bathroom.

BEST THING EVER FOR FAMILIES ON THE GO by Lara from West Chester PA USA
Cons: none Review: Bought these as I have a six year old that never admits he has to go to the bathroom until its too late. My 10 year old daughter has even used it (not the same one - she'd be mortified if anybody even thought it!)

WEE, WEE, WEE all the Way Home by Grace from Melbourne Beach FL USA
Pros: Ease of Use Cons: It is never pretty to have to Pee into anything, make it pretty Review: We live close to the beach and I hate it when everyone heads to the ocean to PEE in it. So your product helps relieve the problem.
Also my daugher in-law is pregnant and I thought what a great product for her while traveling.

LIFE Saver and EMBARRASSMENT Prevention by NinjaBilby from Australia & USA
Pros: Hold more than one can fill in one go...can go 2x if.. . Cons: Hold 'em secure, be sure bag soaked the liquid up, or ... . Review: Been using these gems for 7 years, at least. Traveling to areas of no sanitation, or with no privacy, these TRAVEL JOHNs enable complete peace of mind & they prevent accidents caused by trying to wait for daylight! On flights, or when toilets are occupied, or in the bush,these are best. Discrete, if you have black plastic bags for disposal, or if you can trash them asap.

Best thing when you need to go!!! by Robert from Scottsdale AZ USA
Pros: easy to use, doesn't spill, easy disposal Cons: none Review: It is simple and easy for me (as a male) to use. When you are 70 years old and need to go, Travel John answers the problem. Great for in the car when you are stuck in traffic. Easily disposed of at the next gas station in the trash.

by Charles L from South Jordan UT USA
Review: As a truck driver I am sickened at the sight of urine bottles left by the side of the road by motorists. The Travel John neutralizes uric acid, neutralizes odor and prevents spills by it's unique design and process. I am very impressed and will continue to use this product if you can just keep the cost down as we pass through this recession.

Would buy again by Helen from Bel Air MD USA
Pros: Solves the problem of public bathrooms for little girls. Cons: none Review: We use this product in the car for our daughter - it accomodates female anatomy, can be used repeatedly untill full, some odor if left in the car for a while on a warm day. It is a savier for us!

"DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT ONE!" by Pat - A Prepared Provider from Louisville KY USA
Review: WE ARE NOT PILOTS, but Travel Johns can be found in the glove compartments of all of our vehicles and in our carry-on luggage when we fly commercial. It's the kind of product you hope you never have to use, but if there is a NEED, you'll be RELIEVED! Because our need for this product is far and few between, we share our supply with family and friends who are thankful that they've been introduced to PERSONAL SECURITY!

Ok product- someone had a good idea by Rebecca from Brimfield IL USA
Pros: Travel conveince Cons: No way to close top of bag Review: It's difficult to use while driving but it can be done. Will probably use again. Needs to have some kind of closure to avoid spillage. Had to put them in seperate bags until disposal. This is great when you don't want to stop a lot on a long trip.

by TK from Phoenix, Arizona
Pros: Lightweight, easy to use and to dispose of, no leaking if used correctly. Clean and no odor. Jells very quickly and holds plenty. Cons: Has to be kept upright like a beanbag til disposed, not a big problem, but would be nice if it had some kind of closure mechanism. Review: I am a 74 year old Senior Female who likes to hike and travel. I have many problems with osteo arthritis and have used this product in the past for camping, when it is too much trouble to stumble outside at night. I keep a pack in my car because lots of rest areas are closed, or I don't want to get out of the car in the dark by myself. I am going to use it on any occasion where it is either too uncomfortable to get out of bed, bunk or tent or where there is no facility near.

Not that easy to use but still a good product by A Customer from Pennsylvania
Pros: It is clean and ordor free if you are careful and have some practice in using it. Also, portable and small. Cons: You can't be shy to use it in small confines. Woman must squat or stand. Review: I am a woman and this product is good for travel by car as long as you are not shy about using it with other people around. You need to be able to squat in a small area and be able to reach around and hold the bag and plastic contoured rim so you don't have spillage. It takes a little getting used to but is the best travel urinal I have tried yet. There is no odor and the urine turns into gel. I think it would work better for men because they can use it sitting down. I tried to use it by sitting at the edge of my seat (passenger side of car) as the instructions talk about and that was a messy nightmare. Also, most cars don't have enough leg room for that. I have no idea how a female pilot would use this while inflight.

I will always use this product! by A Customer from Decatur AL USA
Review: I use Travel John when I go deer hunting with my husband. You have to stay in one place (in the woods) for hours at a time, and if it wasn't for Travel John, I would not be able to enjoy this adventure. It sure makes hunting a much more pleasant experience. Additionally, I also take it when we go crappie fishing on the river - sure beats potty breaks on the banks of a river! Thank you for a wonderful product!

wonder bag by A Customer from maryland
Review: This is a wonderful bag when you had a beer or two while camping in a tent and nature clls during the night! I am female i just cant go find a tree. Besides the restrooms were 100 yards away! But trying to make it there during the night with all the animals... no way, travel john the wonder bag!

perfect for hurricane evacuation by James L. Dean from New Orleans LA USA
Review: I haven't tried it yet but this should be perfect for the eight hour drive to the next state during a hurricane evacuation (where the exits to the Interstate are blocked, all traffic is going slowly in one direction, and there is no stopping).

These are so wonderful! by Allison from Fort Worth TX USA
Pros: clean, easy to use, no smell Cons: none Review: I recently used these on a trip with my boyfriend who is a truck driver. There are not always places to use a bathroom and these were great. No mess, no smell and worked great every time!

It really works, no spills by Ernestine from Ocala FL USA
Pros: Small, easy to carry in a purse or pocket, disposable. Cons: I did not find any faults with this product. Review: It worked very well - I highly recommend this product. My grandson used it and demonstrated how this product seals itself after use.

I love this handy thing! by A Customer from Las Vegas NV USA
Pros: Easy for a female to use, convenient for modesty Cons: Does not gel more than about 1/2-2/3 of the liquid amount listed on the package, if filled beyond gelling ability the unit will smell some Review: I am female and a very modest one. These are a life saver. Sure there are other options, but these are sooooo easy for me to use. There is no carrying around a used bit of plastic that smells and likes to accidentally drop out of the purse onto a store's counter. The only item that beats this one in my opinion is the camping Travel John that has a top closure. I like to have some of each kind, as the open top are very easy to dispose of only if they are used once or twice and there is enough material to turn it all to gel. I know how many ounces the packages says it will hold, and yes it will hold that many, but it will not turn that many ounces into gel. My only complaint is that there needs to be something changed to gel the amount listed on the package. But carrying some of the sealable camping ones for times when you know the item is going to be used to the maximum makes life a tad easier. And remember that the gel is the key to reduced/eliminated smell.

GREAT Product !! I'm going to keep these in all my things that move. by George from Lone Tree, CO, USA
Pros: Ease of use. Never leaks. Cons: None ! Review: When there is simply no place to "go", the ease of use and the functionality, particularly the absorption capacity, of the Travel Johns is amazing. They are vastly better than an empty water bottle and do not leak. They are designed very well and can easily be used by both sexes. To dispose of it, merely toss it into any trash container.

Perfect for females in wheelchair by Autumn from Erie PA USA
Pros: Wonderful for travel Cons: Be careful when removing so there is no overflow in cup at top Review: My daughter is unable to stand. Using a public restroom is not an option for her. This product has now allowed her to travel with us and not worry about getting home to use restroom. Anyone with a disability that will not allow them to move from wheelchair to bathrom facility should know about these Travel Johns. We use them every day and they keep us from taking her from wheelchair to bedpan 5 times per day. Great product.

by Alana from Portola Valley, CA
Review: We went to Morocco for 3 weeks last year & the Travel John Portable Toilets were a godsend! The trip included driving for many hours/day from Marrakesh, through the Atlas Mountains, into the Sahara Desert, and through the oasis area near the Algerian border. In this part of the world, there aren't any facilities...or the facilities that exist are totally unsanitary. I loved the convenience of using the Travel Johns, and recommended them to friends and family.

Makes travel possible by A Customer from Minneapolis, MN
Pros: Work as advertised Review: I've used it in the New York City subway and on a crowded bus in Italy, and nobody knew. I'm packing them for Costa Rica, expecting to spend hours on buses with no toilets--I couldn't go without them.

this works by A Customer from los angeles CA USA
Pros: solidifies for easy disposal, no odor Cons: solidifying capacity seems a little less than marked Review: Pee into this, no odor, forms a gel. but it holds only a certain amount (not as much as the line on the container it seems) after which it remains liquid, sloshing around. I used this at Burning Man in Nevada.

Excellent. Would not camp without it by A Customer from palo alto CA USA
Pros: Does what is says Cons: none for me Review: I really dislike getting out of a warm tent to use the cold bathroom in the middle of the night while camping. Travel John to the rescue! I was so pleased with the Travel John, I told my friends about it. (They were a bit surprised by the topic, perhaps, but, hey, what are friends for if not to share about great finds!) BRAVO to whomever invented this product. It is fabulous and I would not camp without it.

99.7% Fabulous Product! by NinjaBilby from Coomera QLD Australia
Pros: Compact, discreet before use. Fits in hand. Cons: Rarely, a pinhole leak. Prepare for this always. Review: Once in a while, a bag will have a pinhole; leaking, therefore, cannot be excluded from worries. If you make certain you have an absorbent cloth/papers beneath the product, any leaks will be seen to, and huge cleaning problems avoided. Do not go to the maximum fill line if possible. Allow the bag to "settle" (takes a bit of time to soak into beads). No odor problem. I stuff paper towels into the top before disposal, or seal in plastic bags. This should be sold everywhere.

by Susan Legrand Young from El Cerrito CA USA
Pros: Simple, clean and easy to use. Cons: A bit large. Review: Our travels have diminished to the minimum, but just having this security blanket (travel john) makes all the difference in deciding whether to travel longer distances. Thanks to whomever developed such a marvelous tool. It is indeed perfect.

so easy to use by Deborah from Bloomsburg PA USA
Review: This product was so easy to use and worked better than a traditional female urinal. The product jelled up shortly after use which made disposal easy. Plus its small enough to carry in my purse for anytime use.

great for small planes by margie from payson AZ USA
Pros: compact - hold alot. Cons: none Review: we have a glasair III and it does not have alot of space in the cockpit - so - when needed - theses portable toilets are ideal - for both men and women. do not go without them - especially after morning coffee.

Saved our lives and sanity by Ed Klein from Gainesville, FL
Pros: No leakage and it hardened immediately so no fuss. Cons: None Review: We used the product in the car on a 2500 mile journey with our two year old daughter. Naps are hard won and pure gold, so when she was sleeping on the Interstate, we couldn't pull off to use the rest facilities. "Travel John" to the rescue. Dignified or elegant - NO. Made the trip doable - YES.

Post-op relief!!! by sandykayak from Miami, FL
Pros: Discreet Cons: Pricey; have to keep upright after use Review: I've used them for camping and always carry one in the glove compartment. After reading about passengers stuck on aircraft on the runway and bathrooms getting disgusting, I now take one in my carry-on bag.
Last year, I had hip replacement surgery. They are much easier to use than a bed pan (for women). Am ordering another batch prior to my upcoming feet (doing both at once!) surgery.

A Fly - Drive Essential by Bill Woody from Vero Beach, FL
Pros: Small, discrete, easy to use and dispose of. Cons: Nothing Review: Most pilots have heard a phrase like "I'd rather be down here wishing I was up there than being up there and wishing I was down here." Travel John can save you from one reason for wanting to be back on the ground. The product works and I won't fly or drive without one within reach. I'm 61 and healthy but I know the feeling of urgency and Travel John is now a part of my pre-flight and pre-drive checklist.

by Al from Matthews,NC
Pros: Very easy to use Cons: A twist cap or cover should be designed when filled Review: Believe me I don't go anywhere without the Travel John,I have MS and it's saved me many stressful moments particularly when I'm travelling or at a meeting. I recommend it to every therapist and their patients I meet. I'm active in cycling and tennis and it's closer to me then my wheelchair. thank you, thank you, thank you.
