The uphill surface providing a more natural stance for the male human than does a level floor. The inclined platform consisting of three sections; a left end section, a right end section and a connecting center section. The inclined platform being composed of light weight material, thus allowing it to be portable to be set in front of a urinal or toilet. The left end section shaped to accomodate the left foot of the human male and the right end section shaped to accomodate the right foot of the human male. The end sections providing the uphill surface. The center section joining the end sections and keeping them properly spaced and in alignment.

Claims

1. A platform used to assist the standing posture of a male human during the process of urination, said platform comprising an inclined plane, said inclined plane sloping up in front of said male human, thus enabling said male human to feel like he is standing uphill rather than on a level floor, thus enabling said male human to lean more forward, providing a better standing posture for said process of urination.

2. The platform of claim 1 with said inclined plane comprising a left end section, a right end section joined by a center section, said left end section shaped to accomodate the front of an out turned left foot of said male human, said right end section shaped to accomodate the front of an out turned right foot of said male human during said process of urination, said center section joining said left end section and said right end section and keeping said left end section and said right end section in alignment;

said center section also indented to set further back than said left end section and said right end section, thus enabling said platform to set closer to a regular toilet, thus allowing said left end section and said right end section to set further forward, thus enabling said male human to stand closer to said regular toilet during said process of urination.

3. The platform of claim 2 with said left end section and said right end section having a slip resistant bottom and a slip resistant top, said slip resistant bottom thus enabling said platform to remain in its placed position until it is moved, said slip resistant top helping to prevent said out turned left foot and said out turned right foot from slipping off said platform during use, thus facilitating safer usage of said platform;

said platform being composed of plastic, rigid foam or other light weight material to facilitate portability.
