The disclosed device comprises a cup-shaped receptacle for collecting urine from the orifice of the female user\s urethra. Such receptacle has a bottom wall portion and an annular side wall portion projecting upwardly therefrom and terminating in a soft rounded compliant annular lip portion for sealing engagement with the user\s external vestibular tissues around such orifice. A drain tube portion connects with the bottom wall portion. The side wall portion is hollow and comprises spaced inner and outer shells merging at thier upper extremities to form such rounded lip portion. The inner and outer shells, including the lip portion, are made of a thin highly flexible compliant silicone elastomer or other similar material. The space between the inner and outer shells is filled with a viscous liquid silicone elastomer gum or gel, or other similar material, enabling such lip portion to conform precisely with the exact contours of the user\s vestibular tissues, with a minimum of pressure between such lip and such tissues. The bottom wall portion of such receptacle preferably comprises a laterally projecting bottom flange for engaging the user\s external labia majora tissue portions. The device also preferably comprises a soft flexible pessary member mounted on such bottom flange portion for insertion into the user\s vagina to stabilize the position of the receptacle. The pessary member may be detachable form the device and preferably comprises a thin flexible hollow outer shell, made of a silicone elastomer or the like, and filled with a viscous liquid silicone elastomer gum or gel, so that the pessary member is extremely soft and compliant. As an alternative, the pessary member may be inflatable with air or other fluid, and also easily deflatable.

A female urinary collection device, comprising a generally cup-shaped receptacle for collecting urine from the urethra orifice of a female user, said receptacle having a bottom wall portion and a generally annular side wall portion projecting generally upwardly therefrom and terminating in a soft rounded compliant generally annular lip portion for sealing engagement with the external vestibular tissues of the user immediately around the urethra orifice and between the labia majora lips of the user, said side wall portion being of a size corresponding generally with the space between the labia majora lips of the user to fit comfortably between the labia majora lips, and a drain tube portion connecting with the bottom wall portion for draining the urine out of the receptacle, the side wall portion being hollow and comprising spaced inner and outer shells merging at their upper extremities to form said rounded lip portion, the inner and outer shells being made of a soft thin highly flexible compliant synthetic elastomer material, said side wall portion having a hollow space between substantially the entire extent of said inner and outer shells, said hollow space being filled with a viscous liquid synthetic elastomer material enabling said lip portion to conform precisely with the exact contours of the vestibular tissues of the user immediately around the urethra orifice with a minimum of pressure between said lip portion and the vestibular tissues.
