Hygienic portable sanitation solutions

13 January 2026

TRAVELJOHN IS now widely available across the UK, offering individuals, healthcare providers, employers, and emergency services a hygienic and discreet sanitation solution for situations where traditional toilet facilities are unavailable or unsuitable.

The range includes disposable urinal bags (both resealable plastic and paper-based options), solid waste collection kits, and disposable sick bags. All products feature the patented LIQSORB polymer technology that instantly transforms liquids into a leak-proof, odourless, spill-proof gel within seconds.

Why TravelJohn stands out

TravelJohn products contain no loose powder, eliminating the risk of spillage and mess. The absorbent polymer is safely encapsulated within a patented non-woven pouch inside each bag, creating a truly sanitary and odour-free waste disposal method suitable for men, women, and children.

The unisex design and compact size make TravelJohnproducts easy to store in glove compartments, bags, emergency kits, or medical facilities so it is ready whenever needed.

How it works

1.      Open the pouch

2.      Use as a portable toilet for all genders (unisex design with spill guard)

3.      LIQSORB instantly gels and deodorises waste within seconds

4.      Seal the bag using the resealable strip (plastic version) or peel-and-seal adhesive strip (paper version)

5.      Dispose discreetly in general or clinical waste bins

Each urinal bag can hold up to 800ml (28 fl. oz) and is puncture-resistant, non-toxic, and waste disposal safe.
