An incontinence device for attachment to the inferior ischio-pubic rami in the anterior perineal triangle of a user. The device may include a generally semi-flexible bi-parabolic membrane configured to deflect from an engaged position in which the device exerts pressure upon the user's urethra, or a similar anatomical part. The membrane may deflect to a disengaged position with a first force applied by the user, and be configured to deflect back to the engaged position from the disengaged position upon a further second force applied by the user. Additionally, the device may include bolster connected to the membrane. The bolster may exert pressure upon the user's urethra, or similar anatomical part, when the membrane is in the engaged position and relieve pressure when the membrane is in the disengaged position.
