Abstract
A urine deflector to deflect urine issuing from a seated user, the urine deflector has at least one retaining projection extending from a urine deflector body portion, where the retaining projection is sized and shaped to be positioned and then held in place between a medial aspect of the user's legs and a toilet seat. The deflector body portion is sized and shaped to contain and direct a flow of urine emanating from said user generally downwardly, The urine deflector can be thus held in position between said user and a toilet seat in front of said user's genitals to prevent said flow of urine from escaping beyond said urine deflector in any direction except downwardly. The retaining projections may be flexible, include a living hinge or a hinge pin to facilitate positioning the retaining projection under the legs of a user.
