Abstract
A system for reducing splatter on and around a toilet when urinating. The system features a weighted base having a telescopic mounting tube. A posterior base end is placed on a ground surface dose to a toilet. The system features a segmented horizontal arm assembly attached to the mounting tube comprising a first arm segment, a second arm segment, and a third arm segment. The system features a disposable cone storage cone located in the first arm segment containing one or more disposable cones. The system features a brush storage cone located in the second arm segment containing a cleaning solution and a cleaning brush. The system features a urinating cone located in the third arm segment. A urinating aperture is located in a urinating cone posterior end. The system features the toilet having a toilet bowl.
