The Whizzer, a handheld travel urinal available on Amazon, has earned a 4.2 out of five-star rating from shoppers who describe it as a practical solution for emergencies on long journeys, festivals, and camping trips. Priced from £22.99, the reusable silicone device was originally featured on BBC's Dragons' Den and is designed to help adults urinate discreetly when toilets are unavailable.
Design and Features
Made from soft, durable silicone, the Whizzer is lightweight, flexible, and collapsible for easy storage in a backpack, handbag, glovebox, or emergency kit. It features an ergonomic unisex spout aimed at reducing leaks, with a secure fit for both men and women. An airtight lid prevents spills and contains odours during transport.
The device comes in multiple colours, including a glow-in-the-dark option. Users can empty and clean it for reuse, making it suitable for regular travellers, campers, and festival-goers.
User Reviews
One Amazon reviewer said: "Five stars. And not because I wanted to become an expert in discreet emergency toilets, but because this thing did exactly what it promised, without drama, leakage, or lifelong embarrassment." Another added: "An absolute game-changer for festivals and van life. When it's too cold and wet to go outside this comes to the rescue! No practice needed, so easy to use."
A third user praised its stability: "My wife uses this in our campervan and it has been perfect. No problems. On the other hand, I bought a cheap version, which has broken already. I'll be getting Whizzer. I think the most important aspect of the Whizzer over others is that it has a very stable base. Nobody wants their wee spilt on the floor of their campervan!"
However, some users found it too small for nighttime use. A three-star review noted: "While I love the design and idea of this product, it’s just not big enough for a night-time wee. Ended up in all sorts of trouble. Wish I’d bought the bigger one."
Alternatives and Pricing
For those seeking an alternative, the SHEWEE Out & About Pack is available on Amazon for £19.99, billed as "the Original female urination device" that allows standing urination without removing clothing. For a static solution, Argos sells the Leisurewize Need A Loo Excel Portable Camping Toilet for £30, suitable for campsites, caravan trips, festivals, and boats.
The Whizzer remains a popular choice for its portability and discreet design, with many users appreciating its reliability in urgent situations.
