Abstract
There is disclosed a sanitary disposable sheath intended for wearing on the penis of males which is formed with a moisture absorbent pad to absorb excretions and urine. The sheath is intended for use by normal, healthy males and not as a prosthetic device, and a method of use is also disclosed and claimed. Preferably, the sheath is formed as a laminate of an outer moisture resistant sheath and an inner, coextensive, moisture permeable liner, with an intermediate moisture absorbent pad. The sheath is provided with either an elastic band closure about its neck, or Velcro type fabric attachment bands to retain it distally on a penis.
