A male urinary incontinence device is provided which includes a body, the body having a shell, and the shell forming a cavity adapted to hold male genitalia. An absorbent, suitable for absorbing urine, is at least partially disposed within the cavity and a moisture barrier is positioned adjacent the body to help protect clothing from urine soiling. A liquid-permeable liner is attached to the body in a spaced-apart relation to the absorbent. To create a hammock-like effect, the liquid-permeable liner may be attached at the perimeter of the body.

1. A male urinary incontinence device, comprising: a body, the body having a periphery, the body further comprising a shell, the shell having a concave inner surface area, the shell concave inner surface area defining a cavity, the cavity adapted to hold male genitalia;an absorbent, the absorbent at least partially disposed within the cavity; anda first liquid-permeable liner, the liner having: a periphery, the liner periphery generally corresponding to the body periphery in length and shape; andan area, the liner area being smaller than the concave inner surface area, wherein: the liner periphery is attached to the body periphery;the liner and the concave inner surface define a chamber; andthe liner area is sufficiently smaller than the concave inner surface area to, during use, hammock the male genitalia and at least partially maintain the chamber, thereby maintaining a void space between the liner and the absorbent;wherein the shell is flexible and semi-rigid. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein the body further comprises a flexible, non-rigid crest, the crest extending from the shell to form a topmost portion of the body beyond the shell. 3. The device of claim 2, wherein the crest extends from the shell about 2-5 cm. 4. The device of claim 2, wherein: the body has an overall length along a long axis; andthe crest extension is between about 15 percent to about 20 percent of the length of the body. 5. The device of claim 1, wherein the body further comprises a flexible, non-rigid tongue, the tongue extending from the shell to form a bottommost portion of the body beyond the shell. 6. The device of claim 5, wherein the tongue extends from the shell about 4 cm. 7. The device of claim 5, wherein: the body has an overall length along a long axis; andthe tongue extension is between about 25 percent to about 30 percent of the length of the body. 8. The device of claim 5, wherein the tongue forms an angle of between about 30 degrees and about 50 degrees. 9. The device of claim 1, wherein the device forms a length external angle of between about 70 degrees and about 100 degrees. 10. The device of claim 1, wherein the device forms a width internal angle of between about 85 degrees and about 105 degrees. 11. The device of claim 1, wherein an overall length along a long axis is between about 16 cm and about 20 cm. 12. The device of claim 1, wherein a width along a short axis at the widest point is between about 9 cm and about 10 cm. 13. The device of claim 1, wherein the ratio of a width along a short axis to a length along a long axis is between about 45 percent and about 65 percent. 14. The device of claim 1, wherein a depth of the device at an apex is between about 5 cm and about 6 cm. 15. The device of claim 1, wherein the ratio of a depth of the device at an apex to a length along a long axis is between about 25 percent and about 40 percent. 16. The device of claim 1, further comprising a first moisture barrier, the first moisture barrier positioned adjacent the body. 17. The device of claim 1, wherein tension of the liner is sufficient to at least partially maintain the chamber during use. 18. The device of claim 1, wherein the cavity is in the shape of a generally hemi-ellipsoidal cup. 19. The device of claim 1, wherein the shell is sufficiently flexible and semi-rigid to deform with the forces due to normal activities while being worn while resistant to flattening out or collapsing against the genitalia.
