A cylindrical urine collection device to be worn by a female, the device comprising: a fluid impermeable barrier at least partially defining a chamber, an aperture configured to receive a conduit therethrough, and an opening through which urine is received into the chamber, the opening having a longitudinal dimension (D 1) lengthwise of the device and a width transverse to its length; and a fluid permeable structure positioned within the chamber to extend across at least a portion of the opening, the fluid permeable structure being configured to wick fluid away from the opening; and further comprising one or more support members secured to the fluid impermeable barrier, the support member configured to retain the fluid impermeable barrier in an extended configuration and in a compact configuration so that the fluid impermeable barrier is adjustable between the extended configuration and the compact configuration; and wherein: the fluid impermeable barrier includes: a first axial length (L 1) in the extended configuration; a second axial length (L 2) in the compact configuration, the first axial length being greater than the second axial length; a first width (W 1) in the extended configuration; and a second width (W 2) in the compact configuration, the second width being greater than the first width; the support member expands the fluid impermeable barrier from the first width to the second width responsive to manipulation of the fluid impermeable barrier from the extended configuration to the compact configuration, with the longitudinal dimension (D 1) of the opening in the compact configuration and the extended configuration being substantially equal; and wherein: the support member allows a user to stop at any desired width between W 1 and W 2 to meet the needs and physiological dimensions of the individual wearing the urine collection device. a fluid impermeable barrier at least partially defining a chamber, an aperture configured to receive a conduit therethrough, and an opening through which urine is received into the chamber, the opening having a longitudinal dimension (D 1) lengthwise of the device and a width transverse to its length; and a fluid permeable structure positioned within the chamber to extend across at least a portion of the opening, the fluid permeable structure being configured to wick fluid away from the opening; and further comprising one or more support members secured to the fluid impermeable barrier, the support member configured to retain the fluid impermeable barrier in an extended configuration and in a compact configuration so that the fluid impermeable barrier is adjustable between the extended configuration and the compact configuration; and wherein: the fluid impermeable barrier includes: a first axial length (L 1) in the extended configuration; a second axial length (L 2) in the compact configuration, the first axial length being greater than the second axial length; a first width (W 1) in the extended configuration; and a second width (W 2) in the compact configuration, the second width being greater than the first width; the support member expands the fluid impermeable barrier from the first width to the second width responsive to manipulation of the fluid impermeable barrier from the extended configuration to the compact configuration, with the longitudinal dimension (D 1) of the opening in the compact configuration and the extended configuration being substantially equal; and wherein: the support member allows a user to stop at any desired width between W 1 and W 2 to meet the needs and physiological dimensions of the individual wearing the urine collection device. the fluid impermeable barrier includes: a first axial length (L 1) in the extended configuration; a second axial length (L 2) in the compact configuration, the first axial length being greater than the second axial length; a first width (W 1) in the extended configuration; and a second width (W 2) in the compact configuration, the second width being greater than the first width; a first axial length (L 1) in the extended configuration; a second axial length (L 2) in the compact configuration, the first axial length being greater than the second axial length; a first width (W 1) in the extended configuration; and a second width (W 2) in the compact configuration, the second width being greater than the first width; the support member expands the fluid impermeable barrier from the first width to the second width responsive to manipulation of the fluid impermeable barrier from the extended configuration to the compact configuration, with the longitudinal dimension (D 1) of the opening in the compact configuration and the extended configuration being substantially equal; and wherein: the support member allows a user to stop at any desired width between W 1 and W 2 to meet the needs and physiological dimensions of the individual wearing the urine collection device.
