    Abstract: The present invention is a solution for continence problems. A supporting structure can be in the form of a modified jock strap or biker's shorts. It includes a male version (bag) and a unisex version (wicking pad). The male model can do alright with gravity alone. The unisex model uses wicking through micro channels to a trigger device in a small bag. This is made of highly porous hydrophilic material that allows flow to drain downward for disposal but not wet backwards It would be advantageous to provide a solution whereas the users would have a comfortable and efficient way to dispose of their urine without getting their garments wet without having to throw something away like absorption pad. It would also be convenient and cost effective to provide a way of using the same device without changing anything all day long.
