Description
Background of the Invention
Present men's boxer shorts for controlling incontinence have absorbent portions but do not control the direction of urinal flow and storage and absorbtion of urine,
Summary of the Invention
Men's boxer shorts constructed to control the direction and storage of urine.
Brief Description of the Drawing
FIG. 1 shows an inside view of men's boxer shorts embodying the present invention.
Description of the Preferred Embodiment
FIG. 1 shows the inside view of the front panel of men's boxer shorts constructed for incontinents, showing the direction of flow, as well as storage, and absorbtion of urine.
Numeral 1 denotes a panel of waterproof material, such as nylon, over which is attached a panel of perforated material 2, to provide comfort, having an openable fly opening comprising overlapping panels 3 and 4 of water proof material.
The bottom of panel 2 is turned upwardly at 5 to form a pocket for receiving, storing and absorbing urine. Attached to top of said pocket is an elastic ring 6 for attachment around the man's penis to provide closeness to the body and so as to direct his flow of urine into said pocket. Ring 6 in some cases need not be of elastic material but merely soft cloth, or the like.
In operation, as urine is discharged from a man's penis, it is directed into pocket 5 wherein it is stored without wetting discomfort to the man. Therefore, the urine does not provide discomfort to the man's body.
