Barf bucket ideas?

post #1 of 11
Thread Starter 
I need some ideas for a portable but discreet barf pan (because the bean shaped one of course makes everyone avoid him because he could be contagious or something). It doesn't have to be big because he's not puking terribly high volumes since he's J fed and G drained, but about 100 ml to 200 ml max.

It also needs to be user friendly enough that if he can return to school eventually, they can use it easily too.

They used to make these two handled snack bowls that would be perfect, but I couldn't find what I was thinking of online. I have a friend that just uses a tall plastic cup, but I think that's overkill for the amount he's putting out.

So what do you use as a public barf catcher?

Single serve yogurt containers.
Kozy Shack pudding containers.

ooo, do they have lids that will go back on? Cause that would be nice to be able to just close it up.

You would have to check to see but I do believe they have covers.

I use the sore brand disposable tupperware containers. They have lids, so you can seal them and throw them away, or rinse them out, throw them in the diswasher, and keep reusing them.

We've used little sand buckets. Like these, just often with pattern. And the smallest kinds.
Nobody will react to a kiddo with a bucket. And we keep rinsing them out/throwing them in the dishwasher and re-using of course.

What about a wipes container? They have the flip up tops...

Some of the yogurts do come with re-sealable plastic lids. I think Weight Watchers yogurt does.

Sorry, this just caught my eye because I am currently in barf bucket mode myself . If your aim is to unfreak people, you might want to stick to something where the contents aren't visible (not clear or translucent).

Like this maybe: http://i.ebayimg.com/16/!BcnhR5g!mk~$(KGrHqUH-CsEqtbPDy2fBK1O4nFUPw~~_35.JPG

Good luck!

not a container, but what about those little bag dispensers that clip to leashes for picking up dog poop? they come in different sizes (chihuahua vs great dane ) and even come scented. you can clip the dispenser to his pump bag. you can tie it and throw it away.

We keep that in the car to use for my dd who deals with major motion sickness. They are neat and tidy, easy to pack, and the tie and toss factor is fabulous. Also, I find that there's an occasional splashing issue with solid containers- that doesn't exist with a bag.
