Larry Sinatra Martin, Sr., Old Hickory, TN. Filed: 1/5/18 Issued: 1/29/19 A method of treating urinary incontinence in a human male having a penis having a penis head, the method comprising the steps of: a) providing a wrap configured to absorb urine and having: i) a distal region configured to absorb urine and comprised of a plurality of layers, the distal region further comprising a front surface, a rear surface opposite the front surface, a distal region left side, a distal region right side, a distal region length extending from the distal region left side to the distal region right side, a distal region proximal end, a distal region distal end, a distal region width extending from the distal region proximal end to the distal region distal end and generally perpendicular to the distal region length; ii) a lengthwise foldline located at the proximal end of the distal region and extending generally parallel to the distal region length; iii) a proximal region configured to absorb urine and comprised of a plurality of layers, the proximal region further comprising a proximal region distal end extending from the distal region at the lengthwise foldline, the proximal region further comprising a proximal region proximal end, a proximal region width extending from the proximal region proximal end to the proximal region distal end, a proximal region left side, a proximal region right side, a length extending from the proximal region left side to the proximal region right side; iv) a left widthwise foldline extending through the proximal and distal regions generally along the proximal and distal region widths; and v) a right widthwise foldline located to the right of the left widthwise foldline and extending through the proximal and distal regions generally along the proximal and distal region widths, wherein the front surface of the proximal region left side comprises a left side fastener configured to removably attach to the distal region rear surface, and wherein the front surface of the proximal region right side comprises a right side fastener configured to removably attach to the proximal region rear surface; b) placing the head of the penis of the male on the proximal region front surface; c) before or after step b), folding the distal region along the lengthwise foldline so that the distal region front surface faces the proximal region front surface; and d) folding the left side of the proximal region and the left side of the distal region together along the left widthwise foldline toward the head of the user’s penis, attaching the left side fastener to the distal region rear surface, and then folding the right side of the proximal region and the right side of the distal region together along the right widthwise foldline toward the head of the penis, and attaching the right side fastener to the proximal region rear surface, wherein after step d), the right sides of the proximal region and distal region are located in front of the left sides of the proximal region and the distal region and further wherein after steps b) and c), the head of the penis is located between the front surface of the proximal region and the front surface of the distal region.
