Abstract
A rolling incontinence plug partially or fully inserted within a urethra has an anchor to restrict its insertion into the urethra. The anchor is configured to be placed between a vestibule and labia minora for restricting insertion of the incontinence plug. The outer circumference of the anchor easily conforms to the shape of the vestibule and responds to varying pressure of the labia minora as the patient moves. Further, because the anchor naturally conforms to the vestibule, no additional artificial substances or devices are needed to secure the anchor.
