Releaf is a portable urinal that makes life more comfortable for the estimated 423 million people who suffer from urinary incontinence - allowing them to never be more than an arm’s length from a toilet. The carefully designed top surface creates a leakproof seal for any adult, even while seated. A large handle makes it easy to use alone, with help from a carer, one-handed, and for those with other conditions like arthritis. Unlike its fully disposable competitors, Releaf uses a unique mechanism that enables the handle to be re-used and the bags detached for hygienic storage or disposal.
