A device includes a shell including a proximal end and a distal end of the shell. The device also includes a plunger within the shell. The plunger can include a flexible stop at a proximal end of the plunger and a distal end. The device can further include an absorptive unit configured to absorb fluid within a vaginal cavity. The absorptive unit can be affixed to the distal end of the plunger. The absorptive unit can include an absorptive element affixed to a frame structure configurable to reversibly transition between a compressed and uncompressed configuration. The absorptive unit can also include a tether coupled to the absorptive unit via the frame structure. The tether can extend through the proximal end of the plunger. Related methods of use are also described.

A vaginal drug delivery and/or sensor device is provided comprising a drug delivery unit and/or sensing unit and a flexible circuit board comprising a first and second area preferably connected via one bent area. Control circuitry is arranged on the first area of the FPCB. A wireless communication module is arranged on the FPCB, and a slot antenna is formed on the second area of the FPCB by providing a slot in a metal layer arranged on the second area. A microstrip line connects the wireless communication module to a connection point at or adjacent to a first end of the slot. A ceramic buffer is arranged over the slot antenna on the second area. At least one adhesive layer is arranged between the ceramic buffer and the slot antenna on the second area.

Apparatus that enables non-penetrating sex between two users. Embodiments may be integrated into or attached to clothing worn by the first user. A tubular element (including, but not limited to, a male or female condom) may be installed either permanently or detachably; attachments at both the open and closed ends of the tubular element ensure that it will not penetrate the first user. Users may therefore enjoy many of the benefits of sex, including intimacy and mutual stimulation, without the risks inherent in penetration. Attachment for the open end may use for example an element that attaches to a base ring or flange at the open end. Illustrative attachments for the closed end include a loop into which the closed end is cinched, a notch or hole into which a button in the closed end is inserted, and a mechanism into which the closed end is inserted, folded, and secured.
