Abstract
A strap-on waste container for receiving thrown up stomach contents includes an elongated moisture proof bag having an open end, a rigid ring connected to the bag open end, and an elongated neck strap connected on one end to the ring. The neck strap allows for hands free use of the container so that the user or an assistant need not hold the container. The neck strap further includes a fabricated stress riser that causes the neck strap to break through the application of a threshold force, allowing for easy removal of the neck strap and container.
