Abstract:

A potty training assembly includes a flexible disposable and water-insoluble body that is adaptable between a bowl and a folded shape. The body includes a top fluid-absorbent layer and a bottom fluid-impermeable layer, which are coextensively shaped and lay contiguously against each other. The body has a top lip flanging outwardly and away from a center thereof and has a linear slit formed therein so the body can bifurcate into first and second portions. A mechanism is included for crystallizing human discharged fluids such that the fluids remain trapped within the top layer. A mechanism is included for securing the first and second portions to each other such that the first and second edges can become coupled. The adjustably securing mechanism is permanently affixed to the top lip of the body. A support bench includes an annular cavity formed therein.
