A device is provided for reliably, comfortably and conveniently introducing agents, including drugs and other substances, into the vaginal canal. A discharge collection device (10) is also disclosed. The disclosed devices may be formed of an elastomeric rim (11) and a flexible film. The rim may have a non-circular cross section (406). The film may be collapsible into a low profile insertion configuration. The devices may be disposable, and are constructed to be convenient to use and comfortable to wear internally. Preferably, the devices are formed from a thermoplastic material that softens in response to body temperature to provide improved comfort and handling. Although the rim (252") has a generally figure-eight-shaped cross-sectional configuration, it may have other cross-sectional configurations. For example, the encapsulating material (406) (surrounding the O-rings 402, 404) may be provided with the D-shaped cross-sectional configuration of the rim (252').
