Absolutely! I remember using one in the hospital. They're bent, so that it's easier to pee into. I'm glad you reminded me, thank you. Better than "hoisting" a larger bottle. I will have a cap on the bottle, I was thinking volume more that "ease." I'll invest in one, or bring one if they provide it to me.

I’m 77 with BPH. I used a bottle overnight while lying in bed for years and always awoke to pee 4 or 5 times. Then, I realized that gravity will further empty my bladder while standing up. So now I’m up only 2 or 3 times, even though I get up and walk down the hallway to our toilet. The bottle idea is great for urgency emergencies, like pulling over in urban areas to use in the car, but not so good for overnight, in my experience.
