1. A disposable receptacle comprising: a panel of continuous material defining an enclosure and having an inner surface and an outer surface; andwherein the receptacle has a first mode in which the material is folded along a fold line into a lay flat position and a second mode in which the receptacle is expanded outwardly relative to the fold line to form a volume in the enclosure,wherein when the receptacle is in the second mode: an asymmetric, curved contour opening at a top end of said receptacle is formed, wherein the curved contour opening defines a peak at one end of the opening,a bottom for containing liquid disposed therein is formed, the bottom being opposingly spaced-apart from the top and defining a base surface facing outward of the receptacle for positioning the receptacle about a support surface,wherein the fold line extends from the bottom to the peak of the opening,wherein the length and width of said opening is variably adjustable by a user applying varying amounts of pressure with his or her hand directly around said outer surface of said receptacle. 2. The receptacle of claim 1, wherein said opening is configured to conform to and enclose a person's genital area. 3. The receptacle of claim 1, further including a coating on the receptacle, wherein said coating or layer is selected from the group consisting of a wax coating applied to said inner surface, a liquid-resistant liner, and a polyethylene coating applied to said inner surface. 4. The receptacle of claim 1, wherein said opening comprises a nonabrasive rim. 5. The receptacle of claim 1, wherein the receptacle is free-standing. 6. The receptacle of claim 1, wherein said outer surface is one of cardboard, compressed paper, and plastic. 7. A disposable receptacle comprising: a panel of continuous material defining an enclosure and having an inner surface and an outer surface;wherein the receptacle has a first mode in which the material is folded along a first fold line into a lay flat position and a second mode in which the receptacle is expanded outwardly relative to the fold line to form a volume in the enclosure,wherein when the receptacle is in the second mode: an asymmetric, curved contour opening at a top end of said receptacle is formed, wherein the curved contour opening defines a peak at one end of the opening,a bottom for containing liquid disposed therein is formed, the bottom being opposingly spaced-apart from the top and defining a base surface facing outward of the receptacle for positioning the receptacle about a support surface,wherein the first fold line extends from the bottom to the peak of the opening, wherein the first fold line is positioned medially between a pair of longitudinally extending fold lines, the first fold line and the pair of longitudinally extending fold lines cooperating to define a portion of the panel of continuous material that is recessed relative to an outer periphery of the receptacle when in the first mode,wherein the length and width of said opening is variably adjustable by a user applying varying amounts of pressure with his or her hand directly around said outer surface of said receptacle.
