On this shaped piece ( 1 ) an upwardly open U-shaped, foamed bead ( 2 ) and such a ring-shaped, foamed, around the drain opening ( 4 ) lying bead ( 3 ) are applied, which together prevent lateral drainage of urine . Two extensions ( 5 ) adjoining this fitting ( 1 ) downwards, on the right and left, which are designed in the form of a short trouser leg cut in half in longitudinal section, protrude from above into the half leg of the bodice panties, causing the fitting ( 1 ) is prevented while wearing.

The advantage of the new system results in female urinary incontinence to be largely freed from fear by unpleasant urine that smells unpleasant and thereby become very unsettled.

Fig. 2: A vertical section through a bodice with half a leg into which a fitting ( 1 ) acc. Fig. 1 is inserted with subsequent drain hose ( 4 a ).

The following reference symbols are used throughout the drawings:
( 1 ) heart-shaped shaped piece
( 2 ) U-shaped foam pad
( 3 ) ring-shaped under-foam bead
( 4 ) drain opening

( 5 ) extensions of the shaped piece ( 1 )
( 6 ) panty girdles

In Fig. 1 you can see a heart-shaped shaped piece ( 1 ) adapted to the female abdomen, on which a U-shaped, foamed bead ( 2 ), such as such an annular, foamed bead ( 3 ) is applied around the drain opening ( 4 ) are and the extensions ( 5 ) of the fitting ( 1 ), the gem.
