1. An incontinence device for a human female comprising a flexible conduit having inlet and outlet openings and a ball valve means for controlling flow of urine past the outlet opening, said ball valve means being shaped to be positioned within the labia majora of a female, with said conduit sealingly engaging the urinary tract of the female to receive substantially all of the urinary fluids which drain from the bladder, so that said ball valve means, when closed, permits accumulation or urinary fluids in the urinary tract and, when open, allows the urinary fluids to pass through the conduit for discharge from the outlet opening, and said ball valve means being selectively manually actuatable by squeezing said flexible conduit at said control ball valve means to allow accumulated urinary fluids to be drained from the urinary tract.
