A two-piece external incontinence device includes a first member, which attaches comfortably and reliably to the urethral meatus of a patient, and a second member. The first member may be secured to the patient's parameatal area by suitable medical grade adhesives. The second member has a first end, which is dimensioned to be mated with the first member, and a second end, which is dimensioned to be mated with a standard urinary drainage tube or a straight connector or other medical apparatus. Mating of the first member and the second member should be leak-free and reliable, but should insure that, when excessive force is applied by pulling on the standard urinary drainage tube, the first and second members separate to eliminate transference of the force to the patient. These mating pieces also allow intermittent internal catheterization without the loss of the parameatal seal.
