Medipaq Portable Urinal – 1.2L Urine Bottles Male & Female Urinal – Pee Bottle for Men – Travel Urine Bottles - Army Green

When you're a middle-aged man, camping (to visit the superb Great Dorset Steam Fair), and like a couple/three beers in the evening, then the prospect of emerging from a warm sleeping bag, getting dressed, tramping over to the "facilities" in the damp September night, then reversing the above and trying to get back to sleep... ...two or three times a night, is not an enticing prospect. Enter this superb device, with its wide spout and screw cap, and the problem is solved! You can roll out of your sleeping bag, do the necessary, and go back to sleep, almost without waking up (I did say almost). You just have to mentally ignore the noise, because thoughts of neighbouring tent occupants hearing what's going on, and the relaxation of the appropriate muscles, do not go well together!The only downside is the opaque red plastic it is made from, as it is impossible to see how full it is, and you have to screw the cap on before putting it down, to ensure no spillage. I bought three of these, so I did not have to risk a second go into one receptacle. (Jasper Carrott's story of having a medical springs to mind).On a practical note, just make sure they are watertight (preferably using water). The end of the spout can have moulding flash still attached and, if present, this needs careful cutting off. Also, I felt that the inside edge of the spout was a little sharp, so I carefully sanded the sharpness off on my ones. But that's probably just me.All in all, these are great.PS. For a female view you'll have to read elsewhere. I have no information.

This is a brilliant piece of kit. Having just moved into a 450yr old farmhouse that has only one bathroom...downstairs and at the other end of the house from our bedroom...it became imperative to find something we could use if we got caught short in the night, rather than going arse over tit down the stairs trying to dash to the loo.Once you get over the "what the hell am i doing?" moment..the "lady bit" is very easy to use... the whole thing is solidly made and easy to hold.Some have said it leaks... we haven't found this at all. It's made so that it doesn't sit level unless there's liquid in it.. then it's fine. Sits perfectly level & well balanced. It's not designed for waving round sloshing stuff about. Checking you've screwed the cap on properly is wise.Also saw a review that said it didn't hold much so couldn't use it more than once in the night. It holds 1.2 litres... someone must have a bucket for a bladder if they can fill this in one go!!!Made our lives much easier until we can get an upstairs look fitted that's for sure. Can see it being a total godsend for people struggling to get out of bed as well.

I bought this bottle as a travelling bottle for my client ( I'm a carer for someone with suprapubic catheter) and liked the fact it's not sea through bottle, so when he is out and about and we need to empty his leg bag we don't necessarily show off around. From that point is great.Downside is the lid is not getting easy to the right place to seal it properly, for me always took few attempts and staring at the bottle to get it right so it doesn't leak around the van until we find the toilet facilities to empty it.As we are using it almost daily cleaning up is not as straight forward like with other one for home use, where you fill the bottle, chack in cleaning tablet and leave over night to disinfect. As the bottle does not stand straight you can't really fill it up to the top, we'll at least we didn't risk if we don't get the lid right it will leak all over the bathroom over night, so takes a bit bleaching it, rinsing etc.But definitely good for occasional use etc and also decent value for money. I would not want to discourage anyone from buying it, just pointing out that for someone who use it daily and is always in the rush you don't really have the time attempting to get the lid right in place while people around you watching what you are doing etc and also cleaning it quickly after coming home while the client waits you to leave his room / bathroom so he can go to sleep..

Very good

Why did you choose this product over others?:prefect

Although this is advertised as leakproof, I collected this today and washed it ahead of having to use, and it leaks. The treads do not connect all the way round the bottle neck, which causes a channel for water to pass though. Disappointed, unfortunately I will be returning

Arrived quickly and without any issues. I haven’t needed to try it, but it’s reassuring to have it in the car just in case. The quality seems average—not the best—but it’s reasonable for the price.

As described not used yet so can't rate further
