I was skeptical. I'm no longer so after using these multiple times on camping / hiking trips.
Pros:
- Convenience is the reason I bought this. Probably why most people do. A couple of examples:
> I camp in a hammock, and it's a bit of a pain in the butt to get out at night, put on shoes and find a tree. I can use this product while still laying down in my hammock snuggled under my covers. I keep one tucked up in my ridgline organizer with my keys and phone and headlight and stuff for easy access. Never worried about spills, but I have worried about over-filling the thing, but so far, no issues there. They hold a generous 28 ounces.
> I camp with my daughter. She's 12, and a bit leery of having to get up and squat in the woods at night. So, I've always had to bring along one of those 5 gallon buckets with the toilet lid top. Even with a bag liner, this is kind of a nasty thing. So, last time we went camping, I gave her a TravelJohn and she mastered its use on the first go without any problem. I doubt she'll try to use it laying in horizontally in her sleeping bag, but at least now, she can stand up inside the tent and use it and not have to go outside. So, she endorses this as well for girls.
> I didn't realize this the first few times I used these (until reading the item description more closely), but evidently they are reusable until they are full. Makes sense and makes them an even better value.
CONS:
None, other than the fact that they aren't free. But they are worth every penny of their price.
Worth Mentioning:
>They make a specific TravelJane product for women, that appears to be IDENTICAL to this product, but they are not as readily available in different package quantities as of this time on Amazon. As with many products marketed specifically to women, these will probably also cost more. However, both are advertised to work for men, women and children, and both products have identical unisex plastic collar adaptors. I think the only difference is they are pink. If you like pink, this would be the choice for you, regardless of gender.
> This 18pack comes with the product packaged in units of three in a nice resealable clear bag. In addition you'll get a handy, foldable travel package of tissues, as well as a resealable clear bag of sanitizing wipes.
Devil's in the details and this company has thoughtfully worked them all out.
