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.

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!)

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.

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...

This is nothing new here in the States. Sporty's, the pilot supply store, advertises them in their catalog. There is also an 'adapter' for women.

This has been avialiable for many years, for women and men for pilots who fly long distance and have no place or do not want to stop because of time delay.
It is avialiable in most pilot shops and catlogs.
