ABSTRACT:
A self-contained urine collecting devise usable by females comprising a bottle in the shape of a hollow body having a closed end and an opening disposed at the end of an upwardly extending neck. Joinable to the open end of the bottle is an interface shaped generally in the form of an oval ring comprising a protuberance at the lower portion of the interface, an opening defined by the upper portion of the interface, a peripheral lip disposed concentrically with respect to the opening, a lateral ridge positioned between the protuberance and the opening, and a lateral valley disposed coextensively to the ridge disposed between the ridge and the protuberance. In use, the protuberance is positioned slightly within the vaginal orifice to place the extralabially fitting opening of the apparatus directly in front of the urethral orifice. The peripheral lip conforms to the perineum of the user in complementary fashion to ensure a liquid tight seal. The lateral ridge and coextensive valley act in concert with the protuberance to further guard against urine and bacterial migration seepage into the vagina.
