Easy, Hygienic and Simple to Use
The disposable travel urinal is already considered a glovebox essential in US, which the Midlands based distributor is keen to mirror here.
According to Sky News’ website drivers were stranded without water, food and toilets for up to 7 hours, an unfortunately frequent situation that the team at Functional Products considered when they decided to turn their attention to a revolutionary and unique concept causing a storm in US.
The Travelloo, as it is being distributed here in UK, is a purpose designed disposable urinal. Intended for both sexes, it can be reused, resealed and, because it is biodegradable, simply thrown in the bin.
It is the unique hi-tech ingredient LIQSORB® that makes the Travelloo so much better than any competitor products. A special highly absorbent powder, it is contained in an expandable, biodegradable fabric pouch fixed inside the outer bag.
The LIQSORB ® powder turns any water based liquid, such as urine, instantly into a gel and traps it inside the pouch. This creates a spill-proof, leak-proof, and puncture resistant receptacle that is obviously an important factor when using such a device in a vehicle. The LIQSORB ® powder also incorporates anti-microbial agents to inhibit potential bacteria and immediately eliminates strong odours and cross-contamination. So, within just seconds of using the Travelloo, its liquid contents effectively become solid. This enables it to be handled conveniently and safely until it can be disposed of in any ordinary waste bin.
Clean, Hygienic and discreet, the Travelloo is perfect for keeping in any car, van or lorry.
Jane Glennie, one of the many motorists stuck on M5 says “I was stuck on the M5 for 5 hours with my cousin. We had water. But having a wee was a real problem.”
In addition to the obvious traffic jam situations, new research by the AA shows that more than half of UK motorists (52%) are putting themselves and their passengers at risk by stopping on the motorway's hard shoulder and frequently leaving their vehicles for non-emergency reasons, the most common cited as “Taking a toilet break” (14%).
Nick Evers, AA Patrol, said: "You wouldn't believe some of the things we see regularly on motorway hard shoulders: I've lost count of the amount of people I've spotted who have stopped to use their phone or go to the toilet.”
A spokesperson for the Midlands firm says “When we looked into the Travelloo as a potential product line, we couldn’t really imagine many situations when having one to hand wouldn’t be useful, but having one available in the car was at the top of the list”.
Nigel Mills, MD of Functional Products and Distributor of Travelloo says “As someone who is often on the road, and as a self-proclaimed lover of convenience, I was drawn to the product straight away. Anyone with small children can see the benefit of having one close by, particularly on those long car journeys, and with this product you don’t even need to stop.”
Travelloo is available from www.travelloo.co.uk in Standard 3 packs, Economy 5 packs, Supersaver 10 Packs and the Junior 3 Pack and can be purchased online or by mail order. Priced from £6.99.
