BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] Restroom facilities, particularly public facilities, can be unsanitary. The commodes in restroom facilities can harbor a wide variety "germs," some of which can be disease causing. People are required to use these facilities because they are commonly away from a more reliable and clean restroom environment. There is a long-felt need for an improved means to provide a generally cleanly or protected commode use. [0002] The present invention offers a number of advantages: [0003] 1. It is a public or private cleanliness assurance product. [0004] 2. It is easy to use, convenient and disposable. [0005] 3. It is a shield for the male organ. [0006] 4. It is a possible means to reduce the spread of disease from, by, or with the male organ during intimate and/or bathroom activities with that organ. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0007] The above advantages as well as other advantages not specifically enumerated are achieved by a sanitation unit for use with a commode. The sanitation unit has a thin portion, and a thick portion. The thin portion and the thick portion are detachably connected. There is also provided a method of making a bathroom facility generally more hygienic. The method includes providing a sanitation unit having a thin portion, and a thick portion, the thin portion and the thick portion being detachably connected. [0008] Various advantages of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment, when read in light of the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0009] FIG. 1 is a top plan view of portions of two sanitation units in accordance with the present invention. [0010] FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the two sanitation units shown in FIG. 1 being separated. [0011] FIG. 3 is an elevational view of the two sanitation units shown in FIG. 1. [0012] FIG. 4 is an elevational view of an alternate embodiment of a sanitation unit in accordance with the present invention. [0013] FIG. 5 is an elevational view of an alternate embodiment of a sanitation unit in accordance with the present invention. [0014] FIG. 6 is a view in perspective of a roll of sanitation units in accordance with the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0015] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/539,648, filed Jan. 29, 2004. [0016] Preliminarily, it should be noted that certain terms used herein, such as for example "left", "right", "above", and "below", are used to facilitate the description of the invention. Unless otherwise specified or made apparent by the context of the discussion, such terms and other directional terms should be interpreted with reference to the figure(s) under discussion. Such terms are not intended as a limitation on the position in which the invention or components may be used. Indeed, it is contemplated that the components of the invention may be easily positioned in any desired orientation for use. Likewise, numerical terms such as for example "first", and "second" are not intended as a limitation or to imply a sequence, unless otherwise specified or made apparent by the context of the discussion. [0017] Referring now to the drawings, there are illustrated sanitation units, indicated generally at 10, in accordance with the present invention. Each sanitation unit 10 includes a comparatively thin portion 15 (to the right for both sanitation units 10 in FIG. 1) and a comparatively thick portion 20 (to the left for both sanitation units 10 in FIG. 1). The illustrated sanitation unit 10 includes the thin portion 15 and the thick portion 20 in generally quadrilateral sheets. The thin portion 15 and the thick portion 20 are detachably connected. The detachable connection may be undone at a perforation, tear, seam taper, and/or integral portion or the like. [0018] The thin portion 15 and the thick portion 20 may be generally squared as shown. The thin portion 15 and the thick portion 20 may be secured at a first seam 25. The first seam may be a perforation. The term "thick" may be understood to include a structure having or being of relatively great depth or extent from one surface to its opposite. The term "thin" may be understood to include a structure having relatively little depth or extent from one surface to its opposite. [0019] FIG. 1 shows two sanitation units 10 secured together at a second seam 30. FIG. 2 shows two sanitation units 10 being separated from each other at the second seam 30. It will be appreciated that the second seam 30 may be designed and positioned to allow for relative means of a temporary connection between two sanitation units 10. Each sanitation unit 10 shown includes the comparatively thin portion 15 (below for each sanitation unit 10 in FIG. 2) and a comparatively thick portion 20 (above for each sanitation unit 10 in FIG. 2). FIG. 3 shows two sanitation units 10 separated from each other. It will be appreciated that the integral sanitation unit 10 includes the thin portion 15 (to the right for each sanitation unit 10 in FIG. 3) and the thick portion 20 (to the left for each sanitation unit 10 in FIG. 3) may be secured at the first seam 25. [0020] FIG. 4 shows a sanitation unit 50 having a comparatively thin portion 55 and a comparatively thick portion 60. The thin portion 55 and the thick portion 60 are shown spaced apart from each other at a seam 65. When the sanitation unit 50 of FIG. 4 is compared with the sanitation unit 10 of FIG. 3, it will be appreciated that the thick portion 60 of the sanitation unit 50 is thicker than the thick portion 20 of the sanitation unit 10. Likewise, when the sanitation unit 50 of FIG. 4 is compared with the sanitation unit 10 of FIG. 3, it will be appreciated that the thin portion 55 of the sanitation unit 50 is thicker than the thin portion 15 of the sanitation unit 10. It will thus be appreciated that the comparative thicknesses may be varied as desired. Continue reading about Peevention...
