Disposable potty/bed pan liner

Abstract

The present invention is a liner that may be readily utilized in a toilet receptacle such as a child's potty or bedpan. The liner comprises flexible sheets fabricated from biodegradable material. The central portion of the sheets is adapted to assume a bag-like configuration so as to conform with the inner receptacle surfaces of a standard potty chair or bedpan. Unique attachment tabs are disposed on the perimeter of the liner so that the liner may be adhesively secured in an efficient manner to the surfaces of the potty or bedpan. The tabs are utilized to seal the liner after use.
