The device includes a hollow tubular body, a perforation line and an absorbent moisture collecting liner. The hollow tubular body extends between first and second end portions thereof, and defines a diameter thereof, and an inner circumferential profile along the first end portion. The hollow tubular body includes a plurality of foldable lines across which the hollow tubular body is folded to be formed. The perforation line is formed along the first end portion and extends across one of a foldable line. The liner is coupled along the inner circumferential profile. The hollow tubular body is wearable, and to fit various sizes is tearable along the perforation line to expand or converge the diameter. The liner along the first end portion absorbs urination drops while the hollow tubular body is removed. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A male urinary flow directing device for involuntary and hygiene protection during urination, the male urinary device, comprising: a hollow tubular body extending between a first end portion, and a second end portion opposite to the first end portion thereof, the hollow tubular body defines a diameter thereof, and an inner circumferential profile along the first end portion, the hollow tubular body having a plurality of foldable lines across which the hollow tubular body is folded to be formed, each folded line of the plurality of foldable lines straightly extends across entire length, between the first end portion and the second end portion, of the hollow tubular body, and spaced-apart at equal distance from an adjacent folded line of the plurality of foldable lines; a perforation line formed along the first end portion and extends partially, up to a predetermined length, along at least one of a foldable line of the plurality of foldable lines; an absorbent moisture collecting liner coupled along the inner circumferential profile at the first end portion of the hollow tubular member, wherein the hollow tubular body is wearable from the first end portion thereof, and to fit various sizes is tearable along the perforation line to expand or converge the diameter of the first end portion of the hollow tubular body, while the diameter along the second end portion of the hollow tubular body is retained constant, and wherein absorbent moisture collecting liner along the first end portion absorb urination drops while the hollow tubular body is disposed. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The male urinary flow directing device of claim 1, wherein the hollow tubular body is disposable and made from disposable materials. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The male urinary flow directing device of claim 1, wherein the hollow tubular body comprises a predetermined length to accommodate various length. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The male urinary flow directing device of claim 1, wherein the predetermined length of the perforation line is smaller than a total length of the hollow tubular body extending between the first end portion and the second end portion. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The male urinary flow directing device of claim 1, wherein the absorbent moisture collecting liner is also perforated along the perforation line. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The male urinary flow directing device of claim 1, wherein the diameter the hollow tubular body along the first end portion and the second end portion are same unless the perforation line is torn. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The male urinary flow directing device of claim 1, wherein the diameter the hollow tubular body along the first end portion and the second end portion varies, either to expand or to converge when the perforation line is torn. ### Claim 8 A male urinary flow directing device for involuntary and hygiene protection during urination, the male urinary device, comprising: a hollow tubular body extending between a first end portion, and a second end portion opposite to the first end portion thereof, the hollow tubular body defines a diameter thereof, and an inner circumferential profile along the first end portion, the hollow tubular body having a plurality of foldable lines across which the hollow tubular body is folded to be formed, each folded line of the plurality of foldable lines straightly extends across entire length, between the first end portion and the second end portion, of the hollow tubular body, and spaced-apart at equal distance from an adjacent folded line of the plurality of foldable lines; a perforation line formed along the first end portion and extends partially, up to a predetermined length, along at least one of a foldable line of the plurality of foldable lines, wherein the predetermined length of the perforation line is smaller than a total length of the hollow tubular body extending between the first end portion and the second end portion; an absorbent moisture collecting liner coupled along the inner circumferential profile at the first end portion of the hollow tubular member, wherein the absorbent moisture collecting liner is also perforated along the perforation line, wherein the hollow tubular body is wearable from the first end portion thereof, and to fit various sizes tearable along the perforation line to expand or converge the diameter of the first end portion of the hollow tubular body, while the diameter along the second end portion of the hollow tubular body is retained constant, and wherein absorbent moisture collecting liner along the first end portion absorb urination drops while the hollow tubular body is disposed. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The male urinary device of claim 8, wherein the diameter the hollow tubular body along the first end portion and the second end portion are same unless the perforation line is torn. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The male urinary device of claim 8, wherein the diameter the hollow tubular body along the first end portion and the second end portion varies, either to expand or to converge when the perforation line is torn. ### Claim 11 A method for making a male urinary flow directing device for involuntary and hygiene protection during urination, the method comprising: forming a hollow tubular body extending between a first end portion, and a second end portion opposite to the first end portion thereof, the hollow tubular body defines a diameter thereof, and an inner circumferential profile along the first end portion, the hollow tubular body having a plurality of foldable lines across which the hollow tubular body is folded to be formed, each folded line of the plurality of foldable lines straightly extends across entire length, between the first end portion and the second end portion, of the hollow tubular body, and spaced-apart at equal distance from an adjacent folded line of the plurality of foldable lines; forming a perforation line along the first end portion to extend partially, up to a predetermined length, along at least one of a foldable line of the plurality of foldable lines; and coupling an absorbent moisture collecting liner along the inner circumferential profile at the first end portion of the hollow tubular member, wherein the hollow tubular body is wearable from the first end portion thereof, and to fit various sizes tearable along the perforation line to expand or converge the diameter of the first end portion of the hollow tubular body, while the diameter along the second end portion of the hollow tubular body is retained constant, and wherein absorbent moisture collecting liner along the first end portion absorb urination drops while the hollow tubular body is disposed. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein forming the perforation line comprises forming the perforation line up to thea predetermined length along one of the foldable lines. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein forming the perforation line also comprises perforating the absorbent moisture collecting liner along the perforation line. ### Claim 14 A method for using a male urinary flow directing device for involuntary and hygiene protection during urination, the method comprising: inserting a hollow tubular body along a penis of a user, the hollow tubular body extending between a first end portion, and a second end portion, opposite to the first end portion thereof, the hollow tubular body defines a diameter thereof, and an inner circumferential profile along the first end portion, the hollow tubular body having a plurality of foldable lines across which the hollow tubular body is folded to be formed, each folded line of the plurality of foldable lines straightly extends across entire length, between the first end portion and the second end portion, of the hollow tubular body, and spaced-apart at equal distance from an adjacent folded line of the plurality of foldable lines;
