German company invents the ultimate portaloo.

When you gotta go, you gotta go and the good news for women is now you can...anywhere, anytime.

A German company has come up with the first pocket urinal that fits in a woman's handbag and can be used whenever she is caught short. The company says its 'Ladybag' will put an end to wasting time in toilet queues.

The mobile lavatory consists of a plastic bag fitted with absorbent polymers that turn urine into a gel. The German designed loo which is disguised as a leaf - albeit a rather weird one - has handy graphic instructions printed on the bottom.

Inventor, Eva Tinter, told Germany's Der Spiegel magazine: 'It can be used in cars, or to avoid dirty toilets or at open-air festivals when you don't want to queue. You can just nip round the back of the toilet and use this.'

Incredibly the company has already sold 20,000 through chemists and the internet since its launch last October. 'We've had orders from all over the world. Every glove compartment should have one.' said Ms Tinter. The German Ladybag follows hot on the heels of the rather more masculine sounding 'Roadbag' for men. Launched in 2007 sales now top 200,000 a year.
