Can you take a pee funnel through airport security?
A dry pee funnel is not a liquid, gel or battery, so it is not affected by carry-on liquid limits. The Pee Pocket is flat, dry and individually wrapped — it goes through security like a folded napkin. As with anything, the final decision rests with the security officer on the day.
Using one in a plane lavatory
- Wait until the seatbelt sign is off, and hold the grab handle if there is any movement.
- Stand facing the toilet with feet apart for balance.
- Unfold the funnel, position the wide end further back than feels natural, and angle the spout down into the bowl.
- Finish, drain, and wipe with the wipe from the wrapper.
- Seal it in the disposal bag and put it in the lavatory waste bin. Never flush it — aircraft toilets block easily.

Why disposable suits air travel
A lavatory tap gives you a trickle of water for a few seconds — not enough to wash a reusable funnel properly. That leaves you putting a used device back into a carry-on bag for the rest of the journey. A single-use funnel is sealed and left behind in the bin. More in disposable vs reusable pee funnels.
In the airport
- Keep one in a jacket or personal-item pocket, not in the overhead bin.
- Long layover or delay? The funnels are individually wrapped, so a few spares take no space.
How many to pack
Most travelers use one or two a day. A 10-pack at $9.99 covers a week away; the 30-pack at $22.99 ships free and keeps a few in every bag. Driving instead? See pee funnels for road trips.
