Abstract

A male incontinence guard includes an inner, liquid permeable casing layer; an outer, liquid impermeable casing layer; an absorbent pad having a first end and enclosed between said layers so as to include a first side edge on one side of said pad and a second side edge on an opposite side of said pad; said absorbent pad narrows at the first end; a first elastic device attached in a prestretched state to the inner casing layer and extends from the first end along at least a part of said first side edge; and a second elastic device attached in a prestretched state to the inner casing layer and extends from the first end along at least a part of said second side edge; said elastic devices arranged such that contraction of said elastic devices causes said inner casing layer at the first end of said pad to take a concave shape and said outer casing layer at said first end of said pad to take a convex shape. The absorbent pad is narrower than said inner and outer casing layers so that said absorbent pad does not extend into said side edges, and said elastic devices are attached between said inner and outer casing layers. The absorbent pad is substantially triangular in shape.
