And most men either tuck or hold down their penis to prevent direct skin to inner toilet contact. Men have expressed how disgusted they feel when it happens at home and at a public restroom. There have been attempts at solving this problem but the materials used were thin tissue, which is too fragile to within too much movement or pressure. In addition, a tissue material is susceptible to liquids, easily soaking through. Devices in accordance with the present disclosure should be provided in public restrooms, such as those in airports, public parks, pubic community centers, or restrooms in private businesses, such as restaurants and even at home. By utilizing the devices in accordance with the present disclosure, men will now be able to have a fully hands free experience while having a bowel movement without the worry of coming into contact with the inside of the toilet.

In an aspect, inner toilet shield device is a piece of glossy finished paper cut into a rectangular shape. The rectangle is then cut approximately 3 inches from the top of the sheet on both sides about 2½ inches into the center. The sheet is also bent in at a 90-degree angle where the slits are on the reverse side of an inner toilet shield device where an adhesive strip with a protective plastic cover will be placed. When placed on the toilet properly the inner toilet shield device will protect a man from unintended contact with the inner lip of a toilet.
In an aspect, an inner toilet shield device comprises a thin paper and a thin adhesive strip. A glossy antiallergic paper (1) cut into a rectangle into two sections, a smaller top to serve as wings and the lower larger portion to serve as the shield between the person and the inner toilet seat. The shield, disposable after use, is bagged by the user in a waste basket. On the top of the smaller portion (2), the rear side is where the adhesive strip is lined. The smaller portion is foldable over the inside of the front center part of the toilet.
The inner toilet shield device provides a shield that goes into the toilet and when the appropriate size is used will stop short of the water line. The paper is sturdy so it is not easily destroyed when used and its glossy finish prevents it from becoming soaked. The device is positioned on the front part of the toilet seat and held in place with an adhesive strip to secure its position while in use.

The advantages of the present invention include, without limitation, a device which is portable and exceedingly easy to transport. It is easy to place this in houses or public areas mounted to restroom stalls.
