Portable urinals designed for female use. These urinals typically are containers with appropriate openings according to female anatomy and are intended for direct urination. These urinals typically consist of handheld portable containers made of plastic (for single-patient use) or made of glass or metal (reusable). Female urinals usually add some features (e.g., a foam ring around the opening of the urinal) to provide a better fit. Some urinals include attached lids and/or other devices to prevent spills and may or may not be attached to a tube for drainage of urine to a collection bag, leaving the urinal empty and ready for the next use. Female personal urinals are mainly used by bedridden patients, patients using wheelchairs, and people with other disabilities or incontinence.
