Abstract: A urine collection device comprises a collector to collect urine voided by a user; first and second outlets adapted to allow urine collected by the collector to drain from the device and a transfer passage adapted to transfer urine collected by the collector to a receptacle. The first outlet includes a flow rate variation device so constructed and arranged that an initial drain flow rate through the variation device is greater than a second drain flow rate through the variation device; and the second outlet comprises an overflow outlet adapted to allow urine collected by the collector to drain from the urine collection device at a third drain flow rate equal to or higher than the initial drain flow rate through the variation device.
