Abstract
A urinary aid for use by females includes a flat-folded tube having an end insertable between the labia. The tube is expandable by light hand squeezing to open the inserted end of the tube to a urine-receptive configuration which spread the labia and in which the device may be pressed against the uninary meatus. In one non-reuseable embodiment of the invention, the tube is provided with a thin coating which is temporarily water resistant but which is degradable. In another embodiment of the invention, the device is reuseable. In all embodiments, the device may be considered as disposable because of its low cost of manufacture. The device may be manufactured using simple and economical manufacturing procedures.
