There’s a new lady bag in town

German Company Invents Pocket Toilet for Women

Lady Bags became sort of a conversational leitmotiv during the Whiny Expat Bloggers Meet-Up. We think they should market these at Oktoberfest by handing them out to bedirndled women waiting in long bathroom lines. Except they’re going to have to make them bigger, first, since I believe most women pee around once per Maß, and the gel can only absorb half a liter.

And I thought these Lady Bags were weird.

Have you ever peed in a yogurt cup during a road trip? Yeah, me neither. I guess it’s a German thing.

  When you're a man, the world is your toilet.

  I hear that there's a sex toy for hetero males called a "pocket pussy" — maybe it should be rebranded "Lady Bag"

  Or is my mind moving in the wrong circles?

  Maybe I shouldn't hit submit.

  By the way, did you click on the bag in der Speigel? You can see the entire thing, including instructions at the bottom.

  Um, who has a bladder small enough to be able to pee in a tiny yogurt cup?? I would need like a dozen.

  On the more remote sections of the Trans-Canada highway the road is littered with "trucker bombs" – water bottles filled with a golden fluid. I know a cyclist who pedalled that route who lived in terror of being schmucked by one at 100 km/h.
  I don't appreciate the littering, but you have to admire the coordination required to manipulate the relevant equipment while driving.

  TQE – The instructions are pretty fabulous.

  Jennie – And even if the yogurt cup could hold it all, what would you then do with a yogurt cup full of urine?

  Deborah – I think I'd rather pee on the side of the road than in one of these things.

  Mark – eeeeeew.

  Matt – I think laughter would be the appropriate reaction.
