We discovered the Travel John's a few years ago and now we don't ever travel without them! We typically purchase 2 packs of 20, which will get 2 adults and 3 kids from the Midwest to the coast and back. We also make sure to keep at least 3 in both cars for every day use in case of emergencies while doing errands or commutes. It is truly amazing how many opportunities will present themselves when you know you have them in the glove compartment. When driving, bathroom runs are SO MUCH faster when the kiddos don't have to exit the car at the gas station (and walk through all the chip and candy aisles). Just remember to keep some Wet Ones and a roll of tp close by so everything can go in the trash with the Travel John while the gas tank is filling up. The basic mechanics break down to a funnel with a baggie attachment. The funnel fits over the frontal nether region (works for both boys and girls from child to adult). The baggie is filled with that powdery stuff they use in diapers. When you deposit fluids, the powder expands, turning to gel in about half a minute. The baggies can be used 2 or 3 times before it reaches capacity. They are perfect for day trips to the zoo, beach, botanic garden, playground, amusement park, museum--basically anywhere you have to run halfway around the world and back to get to a bathroom just to wait in a painfully long line of ppl who, like your kid, are on the verge of breaching their respective reserves. And if you are as blessed as we are with an especially sensitive kiddo who absolutely hates the surprisingly sonorous whoosh of automatic flushing toilets, then you will appreciate the relief it brings your child to know that thoughts of being spontaneously flushed down the toilet are finally and forever dispelled. I do not exaggerate when I say you need these in your life--it will make trips with the family--dare I say--enjoyable;-P
