The ultimate portaloo: German company invents mobile toilet that fits in a woman's handbag

The Ladybag: Never be caught short again with the mobile toilet that fits in your handbag. When you gotta go, you gotta go and the good news for women is now you can...anywhere, anytime.

A German company has come up with the first pocket urinal that fits in a woman's handbag and can be used whenever she is caught short.

The company says its 'Ladybag' will put an end to wasting time in toilet queues, having to endure filthy public toilets and, rather oddly, having to pee in a yoghurt pot while on the motorway (who knew).

The mobile lavatory consists of a plastic bag fitted with absorbent polymers that turn urine into a gel. The size of a chocolate bar when folded, it has a wide pink opening and can be used squatting, sitting or standing.

Cleverly disguised as a leaf - albeit a rather nuclear one - there are also handy graphic instructions printed on the bottom. The gel can easily absorb a pint of liquid but in a real emergency (too much tea at the service station perhaps?) the bag itself can hold 2.2 pints.

Isn’t it in Germany that they’re trying to eliminate all public urinals because they’re too misogynistic?

So the next question is...

Why did I click on this thread.

Such things have been available for years (without the pink female-specific marketing) in the camping/boating/general aviation communities.

I knew there was a good reason why my mom instructed me never to to into a woman’s purse.

You mean the curbs along the streets? Like they have indoor toilets and stuff, but at 2 or 3 AM and people are coming back from the gasthaus they just let'er whiz right on the curb.

If you got caught used to be a 1 or 2 mark fine (depending on the town).

So Germans are going to carry bottles with them to pack urine out? Will wonders never cease!

You beat me to it!

Next,they’ll be handing them out to illegals at Home Depot!

OK, but where to you go to use it?
