A disposable urine bottle (10), having a front end (22) for presentation to a user Is formed from maceratable dried, moulded paper pulp and comprises a base wall (12), an enclosing wall (14) extending upwardly from the base wall (12), a urine receiving volume (16) defined by the base wall (12) and the enclosing wall (14), and an aperture (18) located above the base wail and which Is upwardly and forwardiy concave when viewed from the side. The lowermost portion of the aperture (18) Is also substantially parallel to the base wall (12). The enclosing wall has a portion (28) which overhangs the base wail (12) at the front end (22) of the bottle, which makes the bottle easier and more comfortable to use and reduces the likelihood of spillage during use. The aperture (18) is elongate In plan view and the enclosing wall (14) extends outwardiy from the sides and front end of the aperture, further reducing the likelihood of spillage. The maximum width of the aperture (18) is at least half the maximum width of the base wall (12), which reduces the likelihood of leakage during use, and the enclosing wall (14) Is formed into a handle portion (40) at one end (24) of the bottle.
