Zusammenfassung:An intravaginal device comprising: a. at least one fluid transport element comprising; i. a first plate having an outwardly oriented surface and an inwardly oriented surface; and ii. a second plate coupled to the first plate; 1. that has a first surface disposed and maintained in facing relationship with the inwardly oriented surface of the first plate and an opposite surface; and 2. that is capable of separating from the first plate sufficiently to provide inter-plate capillary action; wherein the fluid transport element comprises a plurality of spacer elements that are disposed to separate the surfaces of the first and second plates; and b. a fluid storage element having a longitudinal axis, the fluid storage element being in fluid communication with the at least one fluid transport element; wherein the at least one fluid transport element is bendable about an axis substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the fluid storage element.
