In order to manage the involuntary discharge of urine in females, various medications and drugs are being used which are proved to be ineffective in solving this problem. Conventionally, medical experts are using various devices for managing the urinary incontinence by inserting/fixing them into bladder through urethra. These devices are uncomfortable to use and their association with the bladder leads to urinary tract infections.

In recent days, various types of devices are developed by medical experts to control involuntary urinary discharge. However, they are bulky in size and few of them lack proper grip in holding the device in a firm position which makes them inefficient in aiding people with urinary incontinence. Also, proper care must be taken while using these devices as they severely affect mobility of a person using them and may cause more infections to the associated parts of the body.
