Abstract
A wearable article for urinary male incontinence that is effective for absorbing urine, that prevents or minimizes the likelihood that urine will contact the skin around the wearer's abdomen, that is relatively thin such that it is not apparent when worn under the pants of the individual and can be comfortably worn under the pants of the wearer, and allows the wearer to easily release the male member for urinating in a urinal or toilet and to easily place the male member back in position in the article.
Claims20
A wearable article for absorbing urine and preventing or reducing the likelihood of urine contacting a wearer's abdomen and a wearer's underwear or pants caused by urinary male incontinence, the wearable article comprising:
- a geometrically shaped pad having opposed traversing extending parallel sides and opposed longitudinally extending parallel sides and having an upper section and a lower section;
- wherein said geometrically shaped pad comprises:
- an inner sheet formed from a permeable material having an inner surface;
- an outer sheet formed from an outer impermeable material having an outer surface;
- an absorbent layer is positioned between said inner sheet and said outer sheet;
- an opening having a center extending through said pad for receiving a male member;
- and
- a traversing extending fold line that extends between said opposed longitudinally extending parallel sides and passes through said center of said opening and whereby said pad is folded along said fold line;
- wherein when said pad is folded along said fold line, said outer sheet has an outer surface for positioning along the wearer's abdomen and for positioning along the wearer's briefs or pants;
- wherein when said pad is folded along said fold line, said opposed traversing extending parallel sides are parallel to each and to said fold line and said longitudinally extending parallel sides are parallel to each other;
- and
- wherein when said pad is positioned along the wearer's abdomen and the male member is received in said opening, the male member is positioned in an upward vertical direction when the wearer is standing.

A wearable article for urinary male incontinence comprising:
- a geometrically shaped pad having opposed traversing extending parallel sides and opposed longitudinally extending parallel sides and having an upper section and a lower section;
- wherein said geometrically shaped pad comprises:
- an inner sheet formed from a permeable material having an inner surface;
- an outer sheet formed from an outer impermeable material having an outer surface;
- an absorbent layer positioned between said inner sheet and said outer sheet;
- an opening having a center extending through said pad;
- and
- a middle section having a traversing extending fold line that extends between said opposed longitudinally extending parallel sides and passes through said center of said opening and whereby said pad is folded along said fold line;
- wherein said middle section is positioned between said upper section and said lower section, wherein said upper section has a thickness and said lower section has a thickness wherein said middle section has a thickness that is smaller (thinner) than said thickness of said upper section and said lower section;
- wherein when said pad is folded along said fold line, said opposed traversing extending parallel sides are parallel to each other and to said fold line and said opposed longitudinally extending parallel sides are parallel to each other;
- and
- wherein when said pad is positioned on the wearer and folded along said fold line, and said outer sheet along said upper section is positioned along the wearer's abdomen and said lower section is positioned along the wearer's briefs or pants, when the male member is received in said opening, the male member is positioned in an upward vertical direction when the wearer is standing.

A method for attaching a wearable article to a wearer for urinary male incontinence comprising the steps of:
- attaching a geometrically shaped pad having opposed traversing extending parallel sides and opposed longitudinally extending parallel sides and having an upper section and a lower section, wherein the geometrically shaped pad comprises:
- an inner sheet formed from a permeable material having an inner surface;
- an outer sheet formed from an outer impermeable material having an outer surface;
- an absorbent layer positioned between the inner sheet and the outer sheet;
- an opening having a center extending through the pad;
- and
- a middle section having a fold line that extends between the opposed longitudinally extending parallel sides and passes through the center of the opening;
- inserting the male member through the opening from the said outer surface of said outer sheet such that the male member is positioned in an upward vertical direction when the wearer is standing;
- positioning the pad on the wearer such that the outer sheet along the upper section is positioned along the wearer's abdomen and folding the pad along the fold line such the lower section is in position for placement along the wearer's briefs or pants such that the male member is positioned in an upward vertical direction when the wearer is standing;
- and
- wherein when said pad is folded along said fold line, said opposed traversing extending parallel sides are parallel to each other and to said fold line and said opposed longitudinally extending parallel sides are parallel to each other.
