Housed within the disposable urinary bag is an absorbent material for urine absorption. The disposable urinary bag also has in its upper central region an elastic ring that provides a barrier against urine when a penis is inserted into it. On the top portion of the elastic ring, a slit is provided in conjunction to a sealing tab with adhesive to enlarge or constrict the size of the elastic ring. The adjustable attachment belt is comprised of a circular portion that fits around the wearers waist with a plurality of attachment means to secure the upper portion of the disposable urinary bag in conjunction with a plurality of leg straps to provide connection means from the adjustable attachment belt to the lower portion of the disposable urinary bag.

An incontinence device formed from an elongated sheet of flexible planer, waterproof material having a front panel, an intermediate panel, and a rear panel. The front panel is formed to extend over the pubic area between the furrows of the groin, and the rear buttocks, while the intermediate panel is formed to extend from the front panel, between the legs, to the rear panel and to form a receptacle for moisture absorbent material and to receive the genital organs. The sheet is gathered to an elastic strip along its edges that extend between the front panel and rear panel to provide yieldable expansion.
The intermediate panel is folded along the lines extending generally longitudinally of the sheet in a direction away from the front panel to provide pleat like walls that are expandable transversely of the sheet for the genital organs and moisture absorbent material, and a relative
