Abstract
A biodegradable urination-aiding device and method of using the same allows a user to urinate into a receptacle, such as a toilet bowl, from a standing position by passing urine directly into the water contained in a receptacle. The device is manipulatable or configurable from a storage configuration, wherein the device is efficiently stored either by itself, or with a plurality of like-devices, to a use configuration, wherein a body of the device defines an elongated, hollow structure. In use, a user associates a first open end of the device with his or her urethra, and places a second open end of the device into the water contained within the receptacle. With the device associated with the urethra, a user urinates into the device, and urine is conveyed into the receptacle in a clean and quiet manner.
