Abstract
A urine collecting apparatus includes a condom for receiving the penis of a user. A container receives urine from the condom. A conduit extends from the condom to the container. There is a first one-way valve along the conduit which permits a flow of urine from the condom towards the container and prevents a reverse flow of urine towards the condom. There is a resilient squeeze bulb along the conduit between the first one-way valve and the container for pumping urine towards the container when the bulb is squeezed and for providing a suction in the condom when released after squeezing.
