Das Urinator: German Pee Bag for Long Road Trips
We've all been there before. You're on a long trip and you've got to pee really, really bad. The only problem is that there is no toilet anywhere near.
Well, now a German manufacturer has solved this age-old problem.
The RoadBag is a handy little receptacle for your urine. Simply do your business into the bag and a special chemical immediately solidifies your waste, thus preventing any spillage or mess. Seal it up and then throw it away at your next stop. Problem solved!
The RoadBag website is unfortunately all in German. For your convenience--and entertainment--I've translated it using Google Translator:
Each man knows it: Situations, in which one would give everything for a toilet. Roadbag® this problem eases once and for all.
Whether in the back-up or on the festival, with the camping or in the sport airplane - Roadbag®, the bag WC for men, facilitates you, where you also are.
Roadbag® is handily, surely, hygenically and comfortable.
The secret of Roadbag® is the superabsorber: This special granulates in the interior bag connects itself with the urine to a firm gel. Thus no drop can run out, become unpleasant smells reliably prevented.
For clean hands after urination Roadbag® a refresher pad is attached to everyone. A completely clean thing.
Oh, and be sure to listen to their classic theme song.

that has been around for hunters for awhile now.

They need to make some sort of a wide funnel type device to fit into the hole for women to use this too. Otherwise great idea.

This has been available for a long time and for free. It's called an empty soda bottle. (Pray the top doesn't get lost!)

chrissie Jul 27th 2007 8:35PM

TeeCee Jul 27th 2007 8:35PM

If you won't use a rest stop as long as there's an empty beer can in the truck, you might be a redneck.

Well, let me set my McDonald's burger and soda over here, turn my cell phone off, settle the kids, crank the radio, oh yes that's right, I am driving. What was that I just cut off reaching for my "urinater"? Oh, that's ok, it's just a motorcycle.
barbara Jul 27th 2007 9:57PM

Anne Jul 27th 2007 9:27PM
All that is great. Guys never have much of a problem anyway! How about us (women)? Does that thing have some sort of easy adapter?
NO thanks Jul 27th 2007 9:26PM
Um... I'll wait for the rest area, thankyouverymuch!
laura Jul 27th 2007 9:38PM

Bill Jul 27th 2007 9:39PM
This a got to see a woman trying to use this on the freeway at 70 mph.
jennifer Jul 27th 2007 9:42PM
im a woman but i have no problem peeing on the side of the road during emergencies, id prefer tht rather than a bag or bottle of some sort, the idea of keeping it in the car grosses me out.... no griping ladies, utilize the trees arnd us or wait for a restroom...

Is this supposed to be NEW? I saw one in an antique store for sale two weels ago in Raleigh,NC. It looked like it was WOMAN Friendly to me. Also, I've seen truckers(both men and women) using those portable potties for years.

There is also a device know and the "Pilot Relief Tube"- a built-in thing usually found in old fighter aircraft, but I built and installed in a car I used to drive that simply used the vacuum from a venturi to vent waste overboard while underway. Great for tailgaters!
