Abstract
Abstract A post urination drip collector is formed as a cap having an interior configuration which will mate with the exterior of the glans penis. The drip collector may be sized to receive a larger than normal glans penis to permit the use of one size for all. The drip collector is disposable after one use and is removeably secured by adhesive. The adhesive may be at one location to be adjacent to the neck of the penis and on the top, or it may extend over the entire inner surface of the drip collector. The drip collector may be rolled to a substantially flat circle and packaged in foil or plastic.
