- Fig. 7 represents a transversal section across the middle point of opening 4; in the represented embodiment, it can be seen that the outside layer 1 is continuous, i.e. extend to the wearer facing side, however, it is the nonwoven cover 14 which holds the elastics 5, and defines the opening 4.
- Fig. 8 shows an example of the invention where the opening 4 is placed in the cross direction of the device, the opening being made between two sections 18 and 19 of the part of the outside layer facing the wearer, are sealed together along the dotted line 20 except over the opening 4; the opening 4 has elastics 5 on both its sides
- Fig. 9 shows another example of the invention wherein said sections 18 and 19 are overlapping and an opening can be achieved by separation of said sections 18 and 19.
- the cover layers are sealed together along the dotted lines 21 and 22 except over the opening and are each lined by elastics 5 in the area corresponding to said open section.
- Fig. 10 shows an example of the device where the opening for the genitals are made as a round hole 4 in the outside cover 3, surrounded by elastic 5.
- the outside layer of the present device can be made of a variety of water impermeable materials well known in the art for this purpose and be either continuous or discontinuous.
- the part of the layer are in body contact can be made of a water vapor permeable layer or very low vapor permeable layer, made of polyethylene, polypropylene, or co-polymers thereof, or biologically biodegradable polymers ea.
- this part of the outside layer can also be covered with a nonwoven or another soft comfortable materials based on cellulose.
- the outside layer can also be made or partly made of perforated plastic film together with combinations of nonwoven, hydrophobic or hydrophilic materials or combinations thereof on both sides or one side of the plastic film.
- the outside layer can also contain hydrophobic, water repellent materials ea. nonwoven made of different kind of polymers.
- the inside of the layer can also be equipped with an absorbing material ea. cellulose -fluff or tissue soft paper , air laid cellulose with or without super -absorbents.
- the outside layers can also include a microporous film, with nonwoven laminated onto said film, preferably at the area in contact with the wearer's body.
- the part of the outside layer in contact with the body can be made in two sections extending all over the whole length or width of the device such as in figures 3 to 9. That layer can also be made of one single piece of coverstock, ea. with a slit as shown in fig. 1 or as a hole according to fig. 10.
- the outside layer can be such that only one part of the layer is made of a water vapor permeable material, e.g. the upper part of the layer, in body contact with the genitals of the user.
- the opening is preferably of a long narrow shape, and the length of such an opening, when it has its extension in the longitudinal direction of the device can be anything from 1 to 20 cm preferably 1.5 - 12 cm; compared to the total length of the device, the length of the opening should represent from 10 % to 90 % of the total length of the device.

- the opening for inserting the users genitals can have a length from 1.5 cm, to 90 % of the width of the device, when it has its extension in the transverse direction of the device.
- the opening can also be made as tear initiation in the layer to be opened to a proper size to fit the users anatomy, the tear initiation can also made as a perforation in the layer , a as smaller hole or a cut in the layer in order to be teared to a suitable size for the user.
- the opening for insertion of the genitals can be located in the middle section of the device preferably partly or as a whole in the upper half of the device.
- the elastics can have an extension over the whole length or width of the device or only over, or mainly over, the opening in the device; the elastics are preferably present on both sides of the opening, but can be present on only one side; e.g in one embodiment of the device, when the opening have its extension in the transverse direction elastics can only be present at one side of the opening.
- the number of elastic strands can vary from 1 to several units per side of the opening; typically 2, 3 or 4 units.
- the tension applied to the elastics should be such that the device fits tight around the penis or penis and scrotum when in use without creating abrasion. It has been found that when the device is created by overlapping sections of the outside cover the tension of the elastics does not need to be as high as when such an overlap does not exist.
- the elastics can be made of any material known to the man skilled in the art such as Lycra or latex, and the strings glued with known techniques to the edges of the opening, the outermost section thereof being preferably folded over the elastics, as shown in the accompanying drawings.
- the absorption batt can have an extension over the whole length and width of the device or only part of the device and be partly or as a whole be covered with a protective layer of ea. nonwoven or tissue.
- the absorption batt can also be divided in two or more parts
- FIG. 6a and 7 A particularly preferred execution of the present invention is represented in Figures 6, 6a and 7; in said execution, the outside cover is continuous, and is made of a waterproof film, which can be made water-vapor permeable; the material part of the cover facing the wearer's skin is made of two distinct sections which are held in an adjacent or near adjacent position, and create a long and narrow opening between the sections.
- the sections can be covered with a soft material such as a nonwoven, and said nonwoven may be extending beyond the continuous outside layer, to define the opening and bear the elastics.
- the innermost edges of the section are joined to the absorbent body at the longitudinal edge of the device, and are lined with elastics along the remaining of their length, so as to create the elasticized opening.
- the devices of the present invention should be worn in combination with well known means which allow the device to stay in place and ensure a good fit with the body.
- Such means can be mechanical, or adhesive; mechanical means include reusable or disposable garments, net or stretch pants, which can be used either as replacement or in addition to regular underwear, and through applied pressure and exploitation of the frictional forces between the device and the wearer, keep the device in a body fitting configuration; such mechanical means can also include reusable or disposable holding belts.
- Adhesive means include means to attach the devices herein to the wearer's underwear or to the mechanical means described above, such means being represented by e.g. an adhesive strip, covered by a release layer before use, as shown in the accompanying drawings.
