- a relatively flat urine collecting bag having front and back sides, said front side being provided with a first relatively large round opening;
- a flat film having a flexible thin portion and a thick portion around said flexible thin portion, said flexible thin portion having a diameter substantially equivalent to said first large round opening of said front side and having a thickness from 0.05 mm to about 0.2 mm, and said thick portion having a thickness from 0.5 mm to about 1.5 mm, said flexible thin portion being provided with a small hole at a center thereof, said small hole having a radially expandable contacting edge at an inner peripheral edge thereof through which a penis is to be inserted and having a diameter such that when the penis is inserted said radially expandable contacting edge expands to sealingly contact with a circumferential surface of the penis; and
