A genital shield and diaper

摘要

The invention provides means to support a diaper away from the genitals, particularly for use where surgery has taken place in or around that area. The means takes the form of a genital shield for use with a diaper but may also be a suitably adapted diaper or a diaper which includes such a genital shield. The genital shield is preferably locatable beneath a diaper and has a fluid penetrable semi-rigid body shaped to fit over the genital region and hold the diaper away.
