A portable urinal for collecting and storing urine from a user, comprising:

• a substantially rigid, one-piece reusable receptacle for collecting the urine, the receptacle including a body portion having an inlet portion and a relatively smaller outlet portion, the inlet potion sized to sufficiently receive the genitourinary area of the user;
• a disposable, flexible storage container for storing the urine, the storage container having a body and a relatively smaller neck region adjacent therein which includes an inlet for receiving urine from the receptacle;
• a rigid connector attached to the storage container wherein a distal outlet end of the connector is received within the storage container inlet causing the neck region to remain open for the storage of urine into the storage container body, the connector having an annular flange arranged to be affixed to a corresponding flange of the container neck region, the connector having an inlet adapted to receive the receptacle outlet portion thereby allowing urine to flow from the receptacle outlet portion into the storage container inlet, the connector releasably joining the receptacle with the storage container such that the receptacle can be removed from the storage container;
• and
• a cap adapted to be received by the connector for sealing the storage container following removal of the receptacle, wherein the sealed storage container can be disposed and replaced with another, unused storage container.

A portable urinal kit for collecting and storing urine, the kit comprising:

• a substantially rigid, one-piece female receptacle for collecting urine from a female user, the female receptacle including a body portion having an inlet portion and a relatively smaller outlet portion, the inlet portion sized to sufficiently receive the genitourinary area of the female user;
• a substantially rigid, one-piece male receptacle for collecting urine from a male user, the male receptacle including a body portion having an inlet portion and a relatively smaller outlet portion, the inlet portion sized to sufficiently receive the genitourinary area of the male user;
• one or more disposable, flexible storage containers for storing the urine, each storage container having a body and an inlet for receiving urine from a selected one of the female and male receptacles, the storage container inlet comprising the final entrance into the storage container body;
• a rigid connector attached to the storage container wherein a distal outlet end of the connector is received within the storage container causing the storage container inlet to remain open for the passage of urine into the storage container body, the connector having an inlet adapted to receive the outlet portion of the selected receptacle thereby allowing urine to flow from the selected receptacle outlet portion into the storage container inlet, the connector releasably joining the selected receptacle with the storage container such that the selected receptacle can be removed from the storage container;
• and
• a cap adapted to be received by the connector for sealing the storage container following removal of the selected receptacle, wherein the sealed storage container can be disposed and replaced with another, unused storage container.
