Male Upper Body Garment to Facilitate Urination

Abstract

The present invention relates to a novel male designed upper body garment in the form of an improved shirt for male users. The upper body garment appears and functions as conventional shirt and has a modified bottom hemline. More specifically, a front portion of the bottom hemline has a rounded cut-out opening for easily accessing the male organ through the opening for urination while the shirt is tucked inside the pants. The simple design is male oriented and allows the shirt to remain comfortably tucked inside the pants without bunching up or requiring the shirt to be re-tucked. The cut-out opening is formed by removing an area from about 8 square inches to about 30 square inches.
