Abstract: A urinal for women having an elongated inlet member to be inserted between the labia majora of the woman. The inlet member comprises an inlet opening with a periphery which forms a complete or partial seal around the female urethral orifice during use. The inlet member further comprises a flow duct between the inlet opening and the outlet opening delimited by a front and rear wall as well as by a right and left lateral wall, where the lateral walls are preferably arranged symmetrically around a longitudinal plane of symmetry. Furthermore, the inlet member is sealingly connected to a collecting container such as a bag at the outlet opening, so that the liquid can pass through the flow duct and into the collecting container. The external surfaces of the lateral walls diverge in a direction away from the inlet opening at least in an area directly around the periphery of the inlet opening.
