Pee bag gel

We have cats and just got a new type of litter for them called SoPhresh Gel Lock. This stuff would be great in a zip lock pee bag! Super absorbent and turns into a gel immediately. I have not tried it in flight yet, but once i saw how this stuff worked i knew it would be great to put in some pee bags. They have it at Petco and probably amazon as well

Thirty-four bucks for a bag of kitty litter, wow. I throw that stuff away, so I buy the cheaper crap at target and use a leg bag in flight. Keep the kitty in the bag as it were.

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

....Except when it corrodes anything it gets into.

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?

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.

I use these gel pee bags often, bladder just wont hold like it did in years past. They really work just fine and there is no track in your pants when you land. I usually fill them up and plan a final run over the local trailer park, most people from the north call them manufactured homes, but they are actually trailers with some being double wide units. I just make a nice pass over the park and drop the gel bags from about 2K.I guess they think it is a doggie scoop bag. Bob

I've heard Depends work well but haven't tried them yet . Perhaps a ground trial first. KS uses a catheter and bag under the seat ....The thought of bailing out is scary though.
