Abstract: An improved device for male hygiene intended for collection of urine is described. An absorbent pad comprises a polymer that forms a gel upon contact with water, which is enclosed in a water-permeable, corrugated plastic pouch. The pouch is contained, optionally by adhesive, in a flexible stretchable water-impermeable sheath, which in use is placed over at least the glans of the penis. Because of the corrugations, the absorbent pad curls up into a cup shape when it swells upon absorption of urine, maintaining the device in a compact configuration for inconspicuous functioning. The absorbent pad may be supplied separately from the flexible sheath.

Abstract: A tubular device for the penis of an incontinent male including a tube. The tube has a closed hemispherical distal end and an open generally circular proximal end. The tube has a central axis when in use with a cylindrical wall of a diameter increasing from the distal end to the proximal end. Included is a pair of axle slits extending from the proximal end. The slits thereby divide the proximal end into a major circumferential extent and a minor circumferential extent. A pair of circumferential tabs are provided. The tabs extend from the major circumferential extent from adjacent to each slit to overlie the minor circumferential extent of the tube thereadjacent. Lastly, an adhesive is included. The adhesive is on the radially interior face of each tab for contacting the minor circumferential extent to allow the proximal end of the tube to be securely positioned at the base of the penis.
