A disposable urinating funnel for females comprises a thin, paper-like sheet which is folded in half to form two overlapping sections whose free edges are connected together and are tapered toward the fold line to form a funnel-like shape. The upper edges of the funnel-shape are curved to cover a female vaginal area, and the opposite, bottom edges form a spout-like portion. Score lines are formed midway between the fold line and connected side edges in each of the sections and extend upwardly from the bottom of the spout-forming portion toward the upper end of the funnel-like shape. Manually squeezing the fold line and connected side edges toward each other causes the otherwise flat funnel-like shape to open, by bowing the sections apart along the score lines. In addition, the tapered, connected-together edges are cut along a shallow curve which permits the funnel to be used with the fold line forwardly or rearwardly for selectively directing the flow of liquid through it.

A disposable urinating funnel for females, comprising: a thin, flat sheet of relatively stiff, somewhat flexible, paper-like material folded in half into two overlapping, substantially identical, normally flat sections which are joined together along a normally, substantially upright fold line and having overlapping free side edges opposite the fold line and upper edges extending between the fold line and the side edges; the sides being connected together and the upper edges being free of attachment; said side edges being curved outwardly away from said fold line forming a wide upper body portion which tapers downwardly into a narrow bottom opening spout; said upper edges being shaped to generally cover a female vagina area; said sections having at least one score line formed in each section extending from the bottom edge of the spout, generally parallel with the fold line for a distance upwardly part-way toward the upper edges; said funnel being operable with one handed application of pressure at said fold line and said side edges adjacent the bottom of said sections with said score line creasing at the bottom spout-forming portions of said sections to form a generally rectangular spout portion and said upper sections respectively bowing outwardly without creasing to form an opening that closely conforms to the female anatomy; wherein the pressure of squeezing said fold line and said side edges adjacent the bottom of said sections causes such sections to bow apart sufficiently to open the funnel for use.
