Pee Jugs?
There are enough portapotties that there is generally either just one person ahead of you, or no waiting. If you only have a jug to dump, you can use the urinal to empty into and it's even faster.
There is usually one large portapotty with an open door and a trough much like a public urinal; this is also great for emptying a bottle into, although I admit it's a strange sensation, as a woman, to venture into a bathroom patronized usually by men.
One of the other ePlayans suggested using a fabric softener bottle, because it's large, opaque and easy to distinguish from water bottles, in the dark. I'm totally going to borrow this idea.
The portapotties are cleaned a lot, but late at night near a big rave there may be a wait for a bathroom in good condition.

The large size Tropicana oj bottles are perfect.Large opeing and i always attach a small peice of rope to the lid to prevent losing it and it also acts as a handle.
When i had roomates i always used a pee jug in my bedroom for late night drains..............

Even wierder sensation when some ass hat drags his bicycle into the trough hut cause "I paid too much for this bicycle for it to be stolen" and while hie's flumbling around with the bike in the hut you end up getting jammed in the ass with the handle bar!
Pee jugs in the huts- OK
Bikes in the huts- NOT ok
What other people think about you is none of your business.

Mostly we use them to avoid a walk to the jots in the middle of the night or first thing in the morning. Other than around the big sound camps, there are hardly any lines at the jots. And the further out you go they are even less used (hence cleaner).

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

Figjam, I sure hope that's oj dregs in there and not leftover driedup pee from last year.
I'm very glad to read that there actually are urinals. At some point I was led to believe they were a myth... and when I started thinking about what a mess they'd be unprotected from the dust, I just settled into a "no urinals for me" mode, where all my practice with my shewee was good only for local outdoor parties here (where I'm a freaking SENSATION with it, letmetellyou) and in-tent, in-bottle convenience.

Pee jugs are awesome. Or pee buckets. Pee coffee cans. I've purchased various funnel/hose/nozzle thingies at Home Depot and Harbor Freight that have been super helpful in the past.
I usually carry something of that sort along with me for longgggg trips just in case I get stuck somewhere. Like exodus/entry line, for example.
It may be TMI, but when I was stuck in Exodus once I had to go so bad I was about to explode. I was so desperate I got out of my car (left it in line as everyone had been sitting still for about 30 minutes) and ran to a nearby solo porta potty. It was COMPLETELY overflowing inside and horrible.
I ran back climbed into the back of my minivan and used an empty large size coffee can I was taking home as trash.
Gross, maybe, but seriously necessary. You do what ya gotta do!

I would think a OJ container would be easier to handle vs a fabric softer container. But then again, what do I know.
You know enough to use the term "loo."
My family used it for years after we got home. But since no one knew what we meant, we eventually stopped.

I have used a big 2 gallon bucket. Its not very discrete and um.... I get a little
carrying it at times when someone calls me over to have a conversation. I'm going with the laundry detergent container one of my Xes left here many years ago. First I have to use the detergent up though. I'll catch hell for sweet smelling clothes at work but I'll call it prep for the burn and it will be all worth while.
Ha ha ha ha. The name is fun too. Might add a s to the end.

I used one of my empty gallon water bottles. Then used a canvas grocery bag to cart it to the porgies. I like the idea of the fabric softener bottles tho!
Also my iPad auto corrected "potties" to "porgies" I think that is what imna call them for now on!

This tactic has only backfired once.
Ha ha ha ha ha! I left a gas can of icky grey water next to my garbage can for three weeks once. It got "stolen." I only wonder with glee what hell the person went through if they emptied it in to their tank. OMG!
Being of the mechanical type....Oh fuck that would be terrible.

That said my thought is something with a large opening but a handle.
My aim just ain't what it use to be.
Yeah, I think I would just as soon stumble to the JOTS as fumble with a jug and then empty it etc.
Having emptied uncounted thousands of urinal jugs over the past 30+ years, I am grateful to be able to manage without one, frankly.
But, knowing that I don't know what I don't know, I will bring a jug and hope I never need it.

Which reminds me of my decompression camping trip last year.
I got to the camp site late, didn't have dinner then drank Sailor Jerry's later into the night, which resulted in a 2:30AM frantic stumble to the outhouse in which I tripped over the parking pillars, and still managed to hold my bladder as I tumbled down a moderate grade. I credit years of training from the Playa.
Pee jug would have been good then.
