Reusable Portable Standard Male Advantage Urinal System with Spill Proof Collection Bag

I was getting up 4 or more times a night to empty my fathers urinal, or take him to the bathroom. One of those times, in a state of sleep deprived desperation, I went online and found the Advantage Urinal System. That changed my life. This is such a simple Idea. A urinal attached to a night bag. You should get a new one every month or so. I waited too long this time, the bag cracked and I had a mess. I just ordered 2 more on Tuesday, they were delivered on Friday. The Advantage Urinal System is not available in any store that I have found. I want everyone to know about this product. I show it to evey nurse and care giver that walks in the door. I feel like standing on a street corner and giving demonstrations, or maybe I should get a bunch and try to sell them in truck stops. The price is small compared to a fall, or a spill, and 8 hours of uniterupted sleep is priceless.

Without hesitation I would recommend this product. My husband needs to go to the bathroom several times during the night. Twice he fell, both times it was serious (911 serious one time). I search for something he could use in bed without the fear of leaks or spills. Found it in this portable urinal!!! It has been great. Not only eliminating the need to get out of bed, but also enabling my husband get back to sleep faster.A little hint though, because of the contents I wanted to be sure that there wasn't an accident of anything leaking so I have always put a plastic bagging around it. This doesn't need to be changed daily as it does stay clean.I was the bad daily and rinse out with water and a little Lysol. Today while cleaning it the bag sprung a little leak, and here's another hint, buy one extra for back up. One more hint, remember where you store the back-up. Ha, I forgot so just ordered another to be delivered in two days. In the meantime I can still use it but I have double bagged it with plastic baggies. It should be fine until I get the one I just ordered.Not sure if these have such a short useful life or I just got a defective one, either way it is minimal to put up with for the positive things it does.

I have purchased two of these urinals as separate purchases. (the second one as backup in case of leaks).The collection bag did develop a seam leak after three months, but we had placed it in a small plastic tub so harm done. I was able to patch the leakFor someone who has difficulty or cannot get out of bed this is a very helpful product. I would give it five stars if the collection bag was more substantial for long term use.

Beyond what the other reviewers have said about having a drainage bag the design of the urinal is GREAT! Why they don't all come with a rounded bottom for ease of use is beyond me. Well done Advantage!My only complaint is I wish they made this design without the bag for daytime use. I am also VERY WORRIED that we'll be caught with our pants down, (pun intended!) it will rip, break, tear, or otherwise be unusable and we won't have a back-up. I'm going to order at least two more after I post this.--------------------------------------------------------------I had to track down this review to amend my previous review. I still wish we had the plastic part only for day time hours when I empty it after every usage. It is truly the BEST DESIGN so my patient and I can't stand using any other urinal.I also wanted to add how ABSOLUTELY A*MA*ZING the customer service is at Advantage Urinal!! Not only did the owner, Larry, call to discuss my previous review but bent over trying to make me happy, thus assuring a life long customer. Larry had me at "Spill Proof" but for sure, no doubt, and positively I am a lifelong customer. He sent me a package and proceeded to call me, personally, to make sure I was satisfied. Larry and Advantage made sure of that. :)In order to help with travel (local and otherwise) I got the privacy bag. ANOTHER AWESOME Advantage Urinal product.

Terrible! Terrible! These new models leak terribly! I bought a second one and it leaked lots of urine the first time, last night! I have used these for several years. The old model had a tube with a simple clamp. This one has a plunger which sticks into a holder. The leak apparently comes from the tight folding. I bought one which leaked a couple days. Then I quickly bought a replacement and paid extra for quick shipping. It leaked lots off urine the first night

This product to me is a God send it works well and last a long time not forever but enough to get your money's worth. I put the bag in a dish pan so if it the bag leaks, or I forget to close it 100% there is no mess. Long as it is not yanked or pulled it seems to be a good product. I will buy again.

The dump valve is ridiculously difficult to open and close.I bought additional bags which were much easier to manipulate.The rubberized connector between the urinal and replacement tubing restricts the flow considerably, even to the point of kinking line and completely obstructing the flow. You can cut the rubberized connector to make it shorter and that will avoid the kinking problem.The flat urinal bottom seems like a good idea, but be careful. it will still tip back to front and spill the contents unless you hold the handle.Despite these drawbacks, it's still the best in bed urinal I have used.
