Abstract:
A method for shielding an infant caregiver and surroundings from projected urine during changing an infant's diaper, comprising steps of:bringing a resilient rearwardly opening band into engagement with an infant at a position near a waist of the infant, to thereby resiliently engage the resilient rearwardly opening band to the infant without encircling the infant, a urine receiving pad extending downwardly from the resilient rearwardly opening band and being positioned by the resilient rearwardly opening band at a location spaced from a source of urine; leaving the resilient rearwardly opening band and urine receiving pad attached to the infant once a soiled diaper has been removed for a selected period of time for receiving therein any urine to be immediately projected from the source of urine; applying a fresh diaper to the infant; and removing the resilient rearwardly opening band and urine receiving pad from the infant.
