The people and things in the vicinity of an undiapered baby are protected from being urinated upon by a device which has an open resilient foam band, which is "C" or horseshoe shaped. The band has a curved front segment with two rearwardly extending side segments which allow the band to be resiliently clasped about the midsection of an infant. A urine receiving pad is connected to the front segment of the band, and extends downwardly to space a quantity of absorbent material from the infant. The pad has an exterior fluid impervious barrier to which a cotton or synthetic absorbent material is attached. The lower comers of the pad are turned up to define an upwardly opening pocket which better retains liquid. The shield is readily affixed to the infant prior to removal of the diaper, and throughout the period during which urination of the undiapered infant is likely. The pad may be constructed with a stiff paper card therein to retain the pad in a position elevated from the infant to keep the soiled absorbent material out of contact with the infant. In an alternative embodiment the absorbent pad may be provided separately from the band, and may be attached to the band by strips of hook and loop fasteners. The pads may then be disposed of after use, while the resilient band may be used many times.
