Whether for use when traveling, with a child who's potty training or when camping, the 'TravelJohn' disposable urine bags are designed to make going when there's no washroom around better.

Rather than simply holding liquid, the 'TravelJohn' bags feature the Liqsorb material inside that quickly absorbs the liquid and [turns it into a gel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/satu-laboratory-1). This allows the bag to be sealed and disposed of afterward.

The 'TravelJohn' disposable urine bags are unisex, non-toxic and [biodegradable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparepair-underwear) to ensure that they are as easy to use as possible. They make the ideal product for anyone who is setting off on a long bus ride, who experiences [motion sickness](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peetracker) or to keep handy in the car in case someone needs to go when there's no rest stop in sight.
