Abstract
An apparatus and method for transporting a liquid on the body of a person and discharging the liquid. The apparatus consists of a liquid container that is dimensioned so that a top portion thereof may be inserted between the buttocks of a user. The liquid container is connected to a hose, which is of sufficient length to pass between a user's legs. The hose is capped, so as to prevent accidental discharge of the contained liquid. In the preferred embodiment, the temperature of the contained liquid may be maintained by lining the base of the liquid container with an insulation material and, where necessary, positioning a heat packet within an opening in the insulation material.
