ABSTRACT:
The invention is generally accomplished by providing an absorbent pouch for the male genitalia that has a generally triangular opening wherein one side of the triangle is adapted to be worn flat against the upper genital region and the other two portions of the triangular opening extend into the crotch and meet behind the scrotum. The pouch extending downward from the triangular opening has sufficient capacity to comfortably contain the male genitalia, and the opening at the top is sufficient to allow air circulation. The allowance for air circulation decreases skin problems. The method for forming the device consists of folding a retangular sheet of composite material on a first fold line that is offset from the middle of the sheet. Next, the points forming the outer ends of the first fold line are folded toward each other so that they are adjacent. The newly formed edges are then folded inwardly toward each other a predetermined distance so as to form the generally triangular opening.
