Closed system urinal for men - highly recommended

Hi, all
I purchased this urinal for my Dad to use at the bedside and it was amazing. It allowed him to just stand up and use it at night and then hang the urinal on the 'bed assist' handle that we added to fit under the mattress. Less chance of spillage! No 'trips' to the bathroom at night!
There are several options and we found the 'close fit' worked best for him, but it all depends on anatomy.
The only difficulty was that when I reordered (they got gross after a couple of months) the company occasionally changed the drain mechanism which Dad found hard to figure out.

I hope someone finds this helpful.
