1. A method for disposing urine which enables a woman to urinate in an upright position, comprising;(a) providing a female urinary device comprising a foldable tubular body which, in the position intended for use, has a reversed, truncated pyramid shape with four longitudinal edges, opposite two-by-two, defined between respective side walls of said foldable tubular body and wherein the sanitary device has a first aperture for the collection of urine and a second aperture for the release of urine, defined respectively by an upper and a lower edge of said reversed, truncated pyramid, the first aperture for the collection of urine having a substantially square or rhomboidal shape and being on a plane substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said tubular body, and wherein said device comprises four sealing tabs, one at each side of said first aperture on said reversed, truncated pyramid shape, and wherein said tabs act to prevent leaks through the upper edge of said first aperture; (b) directly holding the female urinary device along two opposite edges of said longitudinal edges of said foldable tubular body; and, (c) positioning the first aperture of the female urinary device in contact with a vulva and applying a predetermined pressure to the vulva by pressing an upper edge of said first aperture against the vulva to prevent leaks and to enable urine to be released through the second aperture.
