A urinary aid for use by females includes a flat-folded tube having an end insertable between the labia. The tube is expandable by light hand squeezing to open the inserted end of the tube to a urine-receptive configuration which spread the labia and in which the device may be pressed against the uninary meatus. In one non-reuseable embodiment of the invention, the tube is provided with a thin coating which is temporarily water resistant but which is degradable. In another embodiment of the invention, the device is reuseable. In all embodiments, the device may be considered as disposable because of its low cost of manufacture. The device may be manufactured using simple and economical manufacturing procedures.

A urinary aid for feminine use comprising: a flat-folded tubular member having a pair of flexible side panels defined by a pair of parallel fold lines which extend longitudinally of the tubular member, each end of the tubular member terminating in an openable end, said panels being expandable from a flat-folded configuration to an opening-defining configuration in response to compression of the fold lines toward each other, as least one of the openable ends of the tubular member being dimensioned so as to be insertable, in its flat-folded configuration, between the user\s labia and being constructed and arranged so as to part the labia in response to said compression; the ends of the side panels, at least at one end of said member, being of a configuration such that when said end is expanded to its opening-defining configuration, said end will define an opening which extends generally along a plane which is disposed at an angle to the longitudinal dimension of the member; said ends of said panels being S-shaped.
