An external urine collection system for collecting urine excreted by a female user through the female user's external urethral orifice includes a urinary assembly having a sleeve and a cup that define a collection chamber. The sleeve can be attached to an area around the female user's external urethral orifice by an adhesive. The cup can be coupled to the sleeve through a male connector and female connector that form a liquid tight seal between the sleeve and the cup. An outlet is defined by at least one of the sleeve and the cup for draining urine excreted by the user into the urinary assembly.

A feminine sanitary fold device that is constructed from a soft, flexible, and absorbent material is disclosed herein. The device can be used to absorb fluids related to menstruation in a sanitary and hygienic manner. The feminine sanitary fold device is composed of absorbent organic materials, and free of chemicals. The feminine sanitary fold device is distinctly shaped, generally conforming to the shape of a woman's vagina. In particular, the feminine sanitary fold is structured as a “fold” of material that is generally curved inward. Thus, the shape of the device is particularly adapted to allow the “fold” to be form-fitted to the inward curve of a woman's anatomy and rest comfortably at the vaginal opening, between the folds of vagina for secure and stable positioning during use.

A menstrual cup for insertion into a vaginal canal having a vaginal wall for prevention of leakage of menstrual blood may include: a body having an accommodating cavity portion opened upward is formed; a concave portion extending from the upper end of the body to gradually decrease in diameter; and a circular guide rib extending from an upper end of the concave portion to gradually increase in diameter. It can be easily inserted into the vagina so that it is deformable, and the size of the insertion direction is reduced. Not only it is effective, but when inserted it into the vagina, the circular guide rib comes into close contact with the inner wall of the vagina by restoring force for preventing a menstrual blood from leaking.

The collapsible menstrual cup prevents spillage by absorbing menstrual fluids. Separating the absorbent elements into discrete pieces allows for a nested, collapsed, flat state, and an expanded, separated state. Discrete pieces being individual elements able to move with respect to each other, in contrast to a unified layer of material that would fold when moved from a flat shape to a cupped shape. Thus, storing multiple devices on one's person is simplified without compromising functionality. The absorbent elements are shaped like flower petals, radiating outward from a central point. At the center is an optional central absorbent element. In the collapsed position the absorbent elements take positions in close proximity, nesting next to each other. In the expanded position for use, the absorbent elements spread out, allowing the reservoir to expand, preparing for use.

The present invention relates to an absorbent article (1), preferably an incontinence pant-like diaper, comprising a chassis (2), a front waist region (3), a back waist region (4) and a crotch region (5) extending between said front and back waist regions (3,4); wherein the front and back waist regions (3,4) are joinable to each other and wherein, when joined, a waist-opening is formed and a pair of leg-openings are formed by one or more crotch-leg-peripheral-edges (17,17′) and front and back waist-leg-peripheral-edges (18,18′,19,19′), and wherein first and second front waist-leg-peripheral-edges (18,18′) extend from a first position (20,20′) proximal to the crotch region (5) to a second position (21,21′) distal therefrom and proximal to a lateral edge (15,15′) of the front waist region (3), said first and second front waist-leg-peripheral-edges (18,18′) being oppositely disposed from the longitudinal axis. It is characterized in that distance D extending parallel to the longitudinal axis (Y-Y) between the front waist end (13) and a fifth position (22,22′) along the first and second front waist-leg-peripheral-edges (18,18′) which is closest to the front waist end (13), is smaller than length L of a front waist lateral edge (15,15′) extending parallel to the longitudinal axis (Y-Y).

An external urine collection system for collecting urine excreted by a user through the user's external urethral orifice includes a urinary assembly having a sleeve and a cup that define a collection chamber. The sleeve can be attached to an area around the user's external urethral orifice by an adhesive. The cup can be coupled to the sleeve through a male connector and female connector that form a liquid tight seal between the sleeve and the cup. An outlet is defined by at least one of the sleeve and the cup for draining urine excreted by the user into the urinary assembly.

A device for placement and removal of a menstrual cup according to various aspects of the present disclosure includes an outer component and an inner component. The outer component extends along a longitudinal axis between first proximal and distal ends. The outer component includes a peripheral wall, a first interior region, and a protrusion. The peripheral wall includes an interior surface. The first interior region is at least partially defined by the peripheral wall. The protrusion extends from the interior surface toward the longitudinal axis. In certain aspects, the outer component includes an upper portion and a lower portion removably coupled to the upper portion. The inner component extends between a second proximal and distal ends. The inner component is disposed at least partially within the first interior region. The inner component is slidable along the longitudinal axis with respect to the outer component.

An incontinence aid may include a pad body. The pad body may include a liquid receiving area. The incontinence aid may further include a liquid passage connected to the pad body. The liquid passage may form a boundary about a majority of the liquid receiving area. The liquid passage may include at least one lateral opening facing the liquid receiving area.
