Default Pee bag gel

There are gel filled pee bags available, but the medical grade urinary
bags work just fine.Â* They're cheap and if you're cheap (like me) they
can also be rinsed out and reused.Â* They have a drain and an anti-reflux
valve so they're mess free.

And did I say cheap?

So is a tube through the bottom of the glider. No bags of liquid or gel to sit with for hours.

I used to use ziplock bags with toddler size diapers inside to soak up the liquid - optional but helps prevent spills. Perhaps the gelling cat litter can replace the diapers.

An "english ice bag" (available on Amazon for cheap) has a largish mouth with leak-proof screw-on cap, and expands to hold 2 or 3 uses. I use it plain (no gel or anything). Rinse and repeat (i.e. use on next flight) - it doesn't smell when the cap is not open. Since I got it I use very few of the diaper baggies. I bring a large zip-lock bag to put it inside of, to catch any liquid that misses the mouth of the English bag, and in case it springs a leak, and to protect it from abrasion so as to avoid a leak. No leaks in two seasons.
