  • Patent number: 10226375
    Abstract: A urinary incontinence pad for females. The urinary incontinence pad includes an absorbent, tubular pad having a hollow interior. The pad includes a rounded first end and an open second end, wherein the rounded end serves as a barrier against the clitoris of a female user so as to prevent the pad from sliding when worn. The urinary incontinence pad further includes a channel that extends from the second end of the pad towards the first end thereof. The sides of the channel are flexible and biased towards one another so as to removably secure the pad to the labia of a user. In operation, the pad is removably secured between the labia majora and labia minora, wherein the channel is positioned facing the urethral meatus so as to absorb urine within the interior of the pad.
