Abstract
A no-slip, no-spill, no-hands urinal provides freedom and a hygienic environment for a person confined to a wheelchair or bed. The urinal is shaped so it stays in place without being held, is resistant to urine spillage, and can be comfortably used for hours at a time. The urinal includes a soft, clear plastic body with rounded edges, and is shaped so it fits close to the body of the user and under the thighs of the user. It thereby uses the pressure of the thighs of the user to hold it in place. The urinal has a concave front section, conforming with the male anatomy, allowing a closer and more comfortable fit for male users. The no-spill feature includes a platform portion which also serves to keep the male member above the opening in the receptacle portion of the urinal.
