At Parentgiving, we offer a number of options for bedpans and urinals to suit a variety of needs. Bedpans for elderly or immobile patients are the most common type of product in this category. They are rounded at the edge and feature a contoured profile so that they can be comfortably positioned underneath the user. Most models are easy to clean and reuse, but you can find disposable options that are more convenient for on-to-go use or when you won't have an opportunity to clean it. You'll find that a bedpan for female and male patients is generally the same; most models are unisex and differences in design are typically only related to a specific condition or ailment.

These urinals offer a simple, sanitary solution for individuals who are experiencing mobility issues either on a permanent or temporary basis. Designs vary slightly, so you may want to try a few products to find the one you like best.

Choosing the Best Bedpans and Urinals
There are times when getting out of bed to use the toilet is difficult or even impossible and other times when you simply can&rsquot get to a bathroom. Making this natural function easy to accomplish when you&rsquore not as mobile as you&rsquod like is a bedpan or a portable urinal.
There are many styles of bedpans like contoured and fracture bedpans and urinals such as male and female urinals. A traditional or contoured bedpan has a rounded contoured shape to make maneuvering it easier. A fracture bedpan is a design meant for people recuperating from a bone facture or any condition that leaves them immobile. It has what&rsquos called a low profile usually a tapered front so that it can slip much more easily under you.
There are inexpensive disposable bedpan styles that are a good idea if you need to use one for a limited time and don&rsquot want to worry about cleaning it. For durability however choose a stainless steel model.
Urinals are typically more substantial than bedpans. These usually look like containers and have a cap so that waste is contained&mdashless chance of spillage and less obtrusive if the contents can&rsquot be disposed of right away or if for convenience it needs to be attached to a wheelchair or bed rail.
Urinals is particular (and some bedpans) are designed by gender so that they contour more effectively to the male or female anatomy. For example the URSEC Spill-Proof Plastic Urinal For Women allows a woman to urinate in virtually any position: reclined seated or standing. It may be a better choice than a bedpan if you have limited mobility. When choosing a urinal look for designs with easy-to-hold handles that like the Feminal give you a leakproof seal when pressed against the body and when drawn away after use.
Many urinals are made of plastic or composites. If you have any latex sensitivity be sure to choose a latex free design.
Whether you&rsquore using a bedpan or a urinal if you need to measure your daily output for health reasons look for a design with graduated marks. Capacity is another consideration&mdashsome are capable of holding close to a quart of liquid.
Other designs to facilitate urination are uniquely designed not only for people with mobility issues but for those who simply don&rsquot have access to a bathroom like when you&rsquore camping or on a long road trip and don&rsquot know when you&rsquoll reach the next rest stop. The Travel John Disposable Urinal is a waterless urinal that changes liquid waste into biodegradable leakproof gel in the bag instantly and it has a spill guard to prevent back flow during use. Both men and women can use it either sitting or standing. Each pouch can hold up to 28 ounces or 800 cc.
