never travel without them

  • By tammy from Columbia MO USA on Thursday, July 04, 2013
  • Pros: blader reilfe any time or place
  • Cons: limited space may need to use 2.
  • Review: I used the Portable Travel John, while Van camping in the mountains. It was 40F at night, so it was very nice to not have to leave the warmth of the van several times a night to find the bathroom. Helpfull tip: take Quart ziplock bags to storge used Travel Johns in untill you can dispose of.

Definitely like the Travel John

  • By Bryant from Bixby OK USA on Monday, April 21, 2014
  • Review: I drive a Hot Shot truck cross country. I have a sleeper on my truck. The Travel John is very convenient and easy to use. I have never had one leak and it doesn't have any odor.
    I have used this product for a long time and will continue to use it. I recommend it to anyone that travels.

I have purchased this product before and will again.

  • By A Customer from Philadelphia, PA on Monday, October 21, 2013
  • Review: I am not a pilot nor an aviation enthusiast. I am however a 57 year old diabetic who is sick and tired of doing the dance of death when I am travelling and finally find a rest area. I am unafraid of telling others that I use this product and have given the web site out to others when asked for it. The product is useful, convenient and eliminates embarrassment for which I am extremely grateful.

Best product I ever owned.

  • By A Customer from New York on Friday, January 18, 2013
  • Pros: Urine turns into gel, compact enough to carry in a purse.
  • Cons: As mentioned before, opening could be larger.
  • Review: I travel one hour each way to work every day, one day the HWY was closed due to an accident investigation, I sat there three hours! I drink one bottle of water each morning with my vitamins, all of a sudden I had to urinate so bad I was in pain, couldn't go on the side of the road due to congestion, when I finally pulled in the parking lot to work, I was running to the bathroom, a pilot friend told me about the disposable John, greatest invention, I don't leave the house without it, the opening of the bag could be larger to accommodate a female better.

Life Saver

  • By A Customer from Kansas on Saturday, July 28, 2012
  • Pros: Good for Long Trips
  • Cons:
  • Review: This product has been a life saver for me time and again. They are perfect for my husband and I when we take long trips in our single engine plane. It makes the trip more enjoyable when I don't have to worry about going to the bathroom. They hold a lot, the quick gel works good and helps reduce the smell. We always have plenty on hand.

  • By A Customer from Tarpon Springs FL USA on Monday, June 04, 2012

  • Review: After surgery I could not get out of bed. Therefore, I was able to stand on the edge of the bed and go.It will be helpful to me as I travel also as mant toilets are dirty or, I can even stop on the side of the rode with the doors as a shield and can go there.

  • By Jess from Bethel Island CA USA on Tuesday, January 24, 2012
  • Pros: gels quickly, no spills, no odors, compact design, easy storage

holds it better than I can

  • By chris from Yuma AZ USA on Monday, May 18, 2015
  • Pros: Works
  • Cons: Women would like a larger opening , but this works , so not really a con .
  • Review: I tested only one so far. Had a couple of people besides myself , including one woman . It worked . I then toped it off at a full 28 oz from a water bottle , then turned it upside down and shook . narely a drop came out . Should have given it a few more seconds to absorb or made sure it was all down in the gel.
    Anyway , holds contents secure and no oder detected .

LIFE Saver and EMBARRASSMENT Prevention

  • By NinjaBilby from Australia & USA on Friday, February 18, 2011
  • 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.

  • By Charles L from South Jordan UT USA on Tuesday, June 15, 2010
  • 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.

WEE, WEE, WEE all the Way Home

  • By Grace from Melbourne Beach FL USA on Wednesday, March 23, 2011
  • 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.

I love this handy thing!

  • By A Customer from Las Vegas NV USA on Monday, June 01, 2009
  • 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.

Best thing when you need to go!!!

  • By Robert from Scottsdale AZ USA on Thursday, January 13, 2011
  • 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.

Excellent. Would not camp without it

  • By A Customer from palo alto CA USA on Wednesday, September 10, 2008
  • 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 on Thursday, May 29, 2008
  • 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.

Post-op relief!!!

  • By sandykayak from Miami, FL on Tuesday, July 03, 2007
  • 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.

  • By TK from Phoenix, Arizona on Saturday, January 30, 2010
  • 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.

I will always use this product!

  • By A Customer from Decatur AL USA on Friday, October 02, 2009
  • 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!

  • By Alana from Portola Valley, CA on Monday, February 02, 2009
  • 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.

Perfect for females in wheelchair

  • By Autumn from Erie PA USA on Thursday, May 07, 2009
  • 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 George from Lone Tree, CO, USA on Wednesday, May 20, 2009
  • 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.

  • By Pat - A Prepared Provider from Louisville KY USA on Tuesday, February 02, 2010
  • 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!

  • 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.

A Fly - Drive Essential

  • By Bill Woody from Vero Beach, FL on Tuesday, June 26, 2007
  • 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.

  • Review: I initially purchased these for my 70 yo dad with continence issues. They worked like a charm, not spilling if tipped over because of the gel. One traveljohn can hold multiple uses. I now use them for road trips with my 5&9 year old kids. Instead of stopping and going in a restaurant, we can easily pull over and go and hop right back on the road!! It comes with toilet paper and hand wipes too!! No more porta potties either!!

Outstanding Product for the Pandemic

  • By A Customer from New York NY USA on Friday, December 04, 2020
  • Pros: Sanitary. Small and disposable. Works perfectly for men & women.
  • Cons: Each bag is for one-time use only. Would like a larger "bulk" quantity. Would also like a seal on the bag or an additional bag for disposal.
  • Review: Works perfectly for men & women and has saved us from visiting public restrooms during the pandemic. Easy to use. Not resealable so bring along a ziploc for disposal.

Definitely the product to buy

  • By Just an Old Ground Pounder from Slidell, LA on Thursday, July 28, 2016
  • Pros: Works extremely well for men.
  • Cons: My wife still wonders how it will work for gals.
  • Review: Took one out of the box and tested it over the sink with two cups of water. Within ten seconds of pouring the two cups of water into the Travel John, I could turn it upside down and no water flowed out. The crystals absorbed all of the water.

    Split up the remaining number of the TJs and put some in each car.

  • By Michelle from zebulon NC USA on Sunday, October 21, 2012
  • Pros: Comfortable and easy to use. Holds large volume to ensure no spillage. Odor free and simple, discreet disposable.
  • Cons: Product would be perfect if it were possible to close off opening, I know there are ones that have zippers but I find them to expensive for my needs.
  • Review: I am a female truck driver and sometimes finding a clean bathroom can be very challenging. Safety is my main concern, truck parking is almost always far away from most bathrooms, if you can even find parking!
    Travel John portable toilet keeps me clean and safe in an emergency situation. I love the tissues and sanitary wipes that come with each package.

I would buy this product again

  • By VICTOR from ALHAMBRA CA USA on Tuesday, October 09, 2012
  • Pros: Easy to use
  • Cons:
  • Review: Great Product. Works just as advertised. Perfect for hiking, camping and long trips. Easy to use. The travel john will not leak after it gels-up, but be sure to carry an extra ziplock bag or trash bag to hold the used travel johns until you can find a trash can.

Not that easy to use but still a good product

  • By A Customer from Pennsylvania on Monday, October 19, 2009
  • 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.

this works

  • By A Customer from los angeles CA USA on Friday, October 10, 2008
  • 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.

TRICKY TO USE

  • By Thomas from Harvard IL USA on Wednesday, March 04, 2015
  • Pros: POSITIVE
  • Cons: ONLY THE POSITION NEED TO MAKE IT WORK
  • Review: This JOHN does what it needs to do if you can stand or get in a good position. Sitting is tricky, especially if inclined, but better then nothing. Practice makes perfect except you usually don't get enough practice. Would I purchase them again,Yes since there is nothing I have found that works any better or as good.

Ok product- someone had a good idea

  • By Rebecca from Brimfield IL USA on Monday, February 01, 2010
  • 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.

Didn't work for us.

  • By A Customer from Lowell, MA USA on Tuesday, September 13, 2016
  • Review: Using this product for my disabled son did not work. Wasn't able to get into the opening without first spilling urine. I thought it would work well on the airplane trip but wasn't able to make it functional for him. Went back to the hard urinals.
