An external female urinary device is described includes a connecting and urine collecting component (CUCC) and a urine directing and discharging component (UDCC) configured to connect with the CUCC. The CUCC tapers from a larger orifice to a smaller orifice. The CUCC has a ring defining the larger orifice. The ring is made of a material capable of adhering to urethral orifice surrounding skin (UOSS) as well as to the inner facing surfaces of the labia minora and/or the labia majora after the CUCC is pressed against that UOSS. The ring remains adhered to the UOSS without requiring an external force for keeping the ring in contact with that skin. Related apparatuses, systems, methods, techniques and articles are also described.
