A completely clean thing.

The roadbag (here in the original language). German engineering meets the Stadium Pal. Harnessing the latest in hydrogel water-storing colloidal matrix, this is clearly a stream dream-come-true for sports fans, long-haul truckers and gold farmers. I bet that David Sedaris would probably much happier with this new and improved version. [via]

It's a Roadbag, not a Fleshlight, BB. You just nestle the tip up against the opening -- there's no need to put the whole shaft in! And out! And in! And out!

Ohmigod that hydrogel feels sooooooo fine....!

Please, export this product to South Africa. Now. It is difficult to impossible, at times, to find a safe place to stop to pee, where stopping is to risk hijacking at gunpoint (or worse).

OTH: The capacity is not sufficient for my economy-size bladder, which, when needed, can hold over a liter (which I discovered one time when I had to measure it in hospital).

Snarkless comment: my parapalegic friend had something like this years ago. Isn't it basically like the catheter bag which every hospital on Earth has had since about 1890?

There's no bag, it uses an absorbent material (apparently polymer crystals) to soak up the urine.
