Essential for overnight wees when camping! Used at festivals and normal camping and wouldn’t go without one. Also have one in the car, just in case! No sloshing about because of the gel/crystals inside, and can be sealed so no leaks.
My own trick for disposing of one is to put it in a doggy poo bag and tie the handles. Makes the TJ more leakproof, and nobody recognises it.
Contained in a small package. I am ma!e and have used it on one occasion. Found it easy to use while sitting in my car. Easy to dispose of.
I got caught in two hour traffic jam on M27, this device certainly helped me out! I was impressed how quickly it turned to a solid which was easy to store until i arrived home. Keep in the glove box in a zip lock bag with some kitchen roll, can’t go wrong
Haven’t used and hopefully will never have to but with children they’re a staple in the car boot. I’m sure they’d do the job of required and make an otherwise stressful/embarrassing situation much less so
Has lasted through winter so far. Food still gets wet as rain does not fall vertically, so it blows in. However, relatively easy to clean. Narrow gaps at front corners; presumably, in theory, rain will run out, and food obviously get there, but easy to push back. Lid slides off so easy to clean.
Before we went dad practiced using these at home and then when we drove down managed to use them without having to get out the car. Unlike when you get taken short and have to find a bush these are easy and embarrassment free.
A friend of the family originally told me about these and then we felt it was a good time to use them. The gel inside goes hard fairly quickly and then you just throw them away in the nearest bin. I don’t really know how we managed without these for long car trips now. We certainly won’t be without them again!
Love these – a MUST HAVE for any camper or anyone not able to hold their pee for long periods!
It’s saved me from leaving my tent at the dead of night many times. Also good for long road trips where there is nowhere to stop and your desperate! Tough luck for your friends though!
Recommend highly!
Great for camping or post surgery. I’ve used these when camping and the alternative is walking a fair bit to an outside loo in -2C at 4am Once you get used to using it very easy and no smell or drips. Sets pretty quick to a solid gel that doesn’t smell so can be stored until you can dispose of it. Also using it post surgery while I have a temporary catheter bag as it extends my range without needed to seek facilities. Great build quality. Highly recommended.
Perfect for camping for that night time wee, festivals for that first thing in the morning wee before you want to face the public, or leave a couple in the car for emergencies.
A really neat & tidy invention, pee in a bag & it turns to gel, with no smell & no spill. Seal it up & throw it away. Amazing.
Not great if your wees are huge though..
Need the loo at 4am when it’s pouring down outside and it’s muddy and you don’t actually know where the loos are.??. and there might be a queue and you’ll have to put your wellies on and it’s cold and basically a tight hassle which will drag you from your cosy warm sleeping bag….. TADAAA… the amazing and incredible Travel John comes to the rescue! Feels a bit weird for like 1 second then you’re like… wow… it doesn’t leak, you put in a bag to sort in the morning.
Back to bed in no time and back to sleep.. bliss!
Do not go to a festival without one.
Standing up is absolutely fine but I will need to use it in a non standing position as I may be in a bunk bed on an overnight train. My advice if not using in a standing position is to try it our first at home. I did and know that I need to take more care! Ideal also to keep in day bag in case of sickness, for me or fellow passengers.
I’m keeping one in the van and one in my backpack. I did offer one to the wife, but she doesn’t think that the design is particularly female friendly and some of the reviews here support her theory. Check them out carefully if you are of the female persuasion.
I used the remaining one as a tester, and can report back that 800cc is plenty of capacity and that the ‘almost instant’ gelling of the pouch works really well. Altogether a nice, value for money, and hygienic solution to the need a pee now problem. Mainly though, I’m not widdling into a plastic frog’s mouth…
Need to pee in the middle of the night but it’s chucking it down with rain? No problem.
Don’t like using the portaloos? No problem!
Miles from a service station and stuck in standstill traffic? No problem.
Never mind tents, I will be keeping a pack of these in my car from now on! (I imagine these would also be wonderful if you have small children)
Would rate 5 if they were more economical. These are truly indispensible for the road trip where there is lots of highway and few private bushy or treed areas when in a pinch. Also for large festivals, camping, maybe beach trips. Especially great however when you don’t want to lug a porta-potty for a child.
We bought these for our camping trips and they have been brilliant. I was worried about spills during and after but I needn’t have been worried. As a woman the attachment ensured that I did not spill a drop and the crystals inside mops all the liquid up. On the down side we were a bit worried about disposal – what chemicals are we putting into the environment? Also the cost – quite expensive. I have now bought some plastic bottles with the appropriate attachment for me and with a lid to avoid spills. These are not as convenient as the travel john but considerably cheaper. So if money is not object I’d go for the travel john – if it is, I would suggest you get a reusable bottle.
PS these do not require a she-wee to use as they are shaped to be lady-friendly.
Great for camping at a festival when you dont want to venture out at night, once you’re comfy you wont need to. I don’t think it was that quick turning into gel though. Such a lifesaver. No sheewee needed. Just hold it very tight to you. Still I dont know how to reseal them but when I order some more for camping i’ll learn.
Bought these as I do quite a bit of coach travel. Sometimes there is no toilet onboard and frequently drivers travel for more than 2 hours without a “comfort stop”. So far I have not used them and I am quite nervous re how acceptable and/or discrete they would be especially during the warmer weather when not having to wear a coat. Would be interested to hear other reviewers (both male and female) views on this please.
From a girls point of view, these are a brilliant invention. Providing you have the courage to use it in an exposed outside area, these save many hours of queuing for a dirty porta loo.
My friends shielded me from the front and i kept my back near a fence. You still need to pull your trousers down to the knee’s to position the device but this was far better than using the dreadful toilets provided at a recent weekend festival.
With any luck, outdoor venue’s will start implementing discreet area’s designed just for ladies where these devices can be used with a little more dignity.
Really easy to use – just unfold the bag, have a wee (being a girl I used a Whizz to ensure no aiming problems) then seal it up and watch the wee turn solid. Very easy to dispose of and there was no smell at all. The Whizz is basically like a sheewee (only seems a bit better designed) and although I know you aren’t meant to need one to use the travel john I found it gave be the confidence to use it in the tent as I knew I wouldn’t drip or leak, and could see what was going on with the travel john fill line. I found a kneeling position with a straight torso worked well. I bought a pack of three ‘for emergencies’ but after the first use I just ended up using them during the night as standard and used up the whole pack very quickly. Just ordered a big box!
The capacity is quite large, but potentially it might not be enough for your big morning wee if you have been drinking the night before so keep an eye on the fill like as you go!
One reviewer mentioned they were too noisy to use. I didn’t find they were very noisy at all to unroll, open and fill.
I bought this to go to India a couple of years ago, and then bought this one for when I went travelling again. Lots of countries have toilets where you have to stand up, which I find difficult. So as well as being able to use it when you are outdoors (which I have not yet tried) you can take it into the toilet with you and use it there. Otherwise I have to strip from the waist down and then get dressed again. With this I can just use it, and then dispose of the used container in the bag provided and then in the bin. I would recommend it if, like me, you can’t cope with toilets which have no seats.
Like many men of my age long journeys can require a good knowledge of where and when a “comfort” break is available on route 🙂
This “saved my life” on the A21 a couple of days ago, when an unexpected urge came over me (no nothing naughty) and since they have now closed the Little Chef it would have required a total disregard of the speed limit and a suicidal driving style to reach the next stopping point with a loo.
I was able to find a safe stopping point and discreetly and safely restore myself to a normal rational human being and drive on in comfort and safety
Can`t recommend it enough.
My Dad has mobility issues and although we can get his wheelchair into places, there are sometimes problems with access to the loo – those in our favourite pub can only be reached by stairs. These are a nice, discreet solution, he hates a fuss and with one of these he can just go and sit in the car to use it.
Women need to take a little more care when using them, I suggest keeping a towel with them to kneel on/put underneath you until you feel confident, but they are suitable for everyone and easily disposed of.
Got these for a festival and was a little weirded out by them, but come 2 in the morning with the loos miles away and my tent surrounded by dozens of other tents and it FREEZING out, these guys saved the day (er, night!) Our friends sheepishly told us about the ‘bucket’ they’ve set up in their tent (because dragging their kid a half mile to the loos in the middle of the night is beyond a nightmare)and I brought out one of these to show them. They were amazed, ordered some and never looked back.
No smell, no spilling, easy to use even in a tent when you’re sleepy/tipsy. Can’t recommend these enough.
The wee bags are uni-sex as they have a cup type mouth for the ladies but I have been unable to get a female to test it out for me so I can only speak for its use by men. For men getting the pee into the bag is a doddle. The bags expand as you pee and you will be worried you will overflow it but don’t worry guys it can hold a lot of liquid. The crystals inside soak up the pee and I can confirm there are no odours.
A must for anyone going to a music festival. We’ve used these for several years at music festivals and they are a godsend especially first thing in the morning and last thing at night when the portaloos can be a bit minging. Really easy to use. We keep them in a small bucket in the tent along with tissues and a small bottle of anti-bac for hand cleaning.
Ladies, you need to make sure it fits close to the body to prevent any leaks. To use, I kneel over the bucket (holding the traveljohn inside the bucket) which is lined with a nappy sack (that’s how small the bucket is). Tissue paper and traveljohn are then tied in the nappy sack and chucked into the bin.
This product does exactly what it says “On The Tin” If like me you are a more mature camper and are annoyingly woken by nature at 4 in the morning to answer her call you will love this product. Gone are the days of trying desperately to hold it in or walking across a wet muddy field to the toilet block in the middle of the night. Just follow the instructions and dispose of it in the morning. Bliss !!!!! I’m sure it will have many other applications for all sorts of outdoor types. Hikers, walkers, fishermen, campers etc. In Short: It Works!!!!!!
Great product, very conveniant!
