What it is, and who it helps
A portable urinal is a container with a wide opening and a handle that can be used in bed, in a chair or in the car. It helps people who cannot reach the toilet quickly, or who have limited mobility, to pass urine without a risky walk, especially at night.
Models are available for men and women, with spill-proof lids and anti-splash designs.
How to choose
- Choose the correct design for men or women, and a size that holds enough.
- Look for a spill-proof lid, a stable base and a comfortable handle.
- Pick a material that is easy to clean and does not stain.
- Consider a hook or holder so that it can hang on the bed rail.
Using it safely
- Empty and rinse it after each use, and disinfect it regularly.
- Keep it within reach at night, with a light.
- Tell the doctor if your parent needs it much more often than before, since it may signal an infection.
Before you buy
Can a urinal be used lying down?
