Men's Urinal with Hand-held Portable Urine Cup 2000 ml Large Capacity Male urinals for Elderly Hospital beds Wheelchair (Blue)

This is the second one of these I've purchased, the first was from a different online store but, they are identical other than the covers on this one snapping on just a bit more tightly.Being wheelchair bound, I always need to use a personal urinal and this is the best, easiest to use, one that I have had. One very important thing to do before you use it is to trim the hose back to the proper length. When I got my first one I didn't give it a thought, I just used it with all of the hose attached, and with the hose laying on the floor, below the level of the jug's snout, it allows the urine to back up and overflow from the cup. With the hose trimmed to the proper length, it flows very well and can handle a strong flow very easily, stronger than what any person can put into it. I've tested that theory many times over in the tub when cleaning it, running a powerful stream into it from the spout.With the hose trimmed, pushed on to the cup all the way, and the cover snapped tightly on to the jug, there shouldn't be any leaking or overflowing. The only other thing I would suggest is making sure the locking piece that keeps the hose from coming out of the jug's cover is pushed into the hose as far as you can get it, or at least, far enough in that the liquid isn't dripping into the jug right against the edge of the opening. I've seen that cause some minor leakage when opening it up for dumping, since it will pool there a little bit if the hose isn't just a little deeper inside. It doesn't have to go in very far to prevent this.Highly recommended. The only reason I purchased a second one is because if anything were to happen to it I wouldn't want to be without one this style at all, also to have a second one in the bathroom, so when we have company I can have another one to use in there. I have to keep one at my recliner, which is where I pretty much live. If you're in a situation like me, or have need of a personal urinal for any other reason, you should definitely get one. I can see these being great for truckers, they hold a lot of liquid and the cup is small enough to be pretty unintrusive, so it shouldn't get in the way at all when you're trying to urinate while going down the road. Again, you simply have to be sure the hose isn't longer than necessary, if it's laying down below the inflow point of the jug, you'll have a mess.

Last year my husband had a right total knee replacement. he used a urinal during the day and the night for several weeks. First 6 weeks post surgery was very painful and debilitating....... I ordered this new device basically for him to use during the night because he just had his left total knee replacement done; and being able to use this laying on his back, because swinging his left leg to the side of the bed and thus sitting up was going to be a big deal for Both of us . This is fabulous!!! He securesd the urinal to the hook provided onto his night stand table. Urine collector unit sits on the floor. Note: during the day he also uses it when sitting in his big chair; and I do not have to empty a urinal several times a day........Yay!!! Perhaps some folks will think it gross to use this during the day; we live alone, and both of us are in our 70s...........convenience and saving steps is the way to go for us.............

I us it on long road trips when I dont have the time to stop at a service station and so far it has been a nightmare it constantly leaks the cap is bipolar one minute it a snaps on ok one min a pain to take of the next and a complete failure the rest as in it just sits on top of the opening and it doesn't hold in the smell. I don't recommend this product to no one

This is a lifesaver for a male who is not independently mobile but frequently needs to urinate at night, sometimes large amounts. After using it nightly for a year, it is still working well. We keep the large urinal base in a small washtub on the floor near the bed, this is a precaution for overflow and is a place to put the small urinal and tubing in the morning to make carrying it easier. There are a few things to be aware of: there is a small air hole in the lid that attaches the tube to the large urinal base, remember to have this turned to the top(12 o'clock position) or there is a chance it could overflow; be aware of how the tubing is positioned, if there is to many curls in the tube or the base isn't lower than the handheld urinal it can't drain fast enough and could overflow. Cleaning the tubing is a challenge but that may be unavoidable. Overall, this is a well-designed product that makes a big impact on several people's lives.
