The invention relates to a urine collection device particularly adapted to the female anatomy. The device is designed for use primarily by incontinent women, but also has application in those circumstances which preclude access to normal bathroom facilities, for example where the woman is bed-ridden, or is in an occupation which demands long periods at a duty station or in protective clothing (pilots or astronauts). The device successfully overcomes many of the problems associated with present devices, such as absorbent garments (akin to diapers or sanitary napkins), external receptacles strapped to the body, and catheters, which problems usually include leakage, urine contact with the body, discomfort, infection, interference with freedom of movement, and limitations on choice of clothing.
