Description

  The present invention relates to a condom and a condom lubricant to which a fragrance having a physiological effect is added.

  Conventionally, many attempts have been made to eliminate the rubber odor with a strong fragrance or mask the odor with a relatively weak fragrance by reducing the concentration of the fragrance.

  In the past, fruits and strong mint-based fragrances were often used. In particular, food fragrances were unnatural as fragrances used in condoms.

  For this reason, there is a problem that a fragrance originally intended to eliminate the rubber odor remains as an unpleasant scent even after the use of a condom.

  Conventionally, for the purpose of masking the rubber odor of condoms, a fragrance having a concentration that strongly scents until it reaches a level at which no rubber odor is felt has been added. In addition, there were many food-type scents such as fruits and mint, so they often felt uncomfortable during use or due to residual scent.

  On the other hand, the condom added with a fragrance having a physiological effect used in the present invention has a natural scent even if it remains in the room, bedding, clothes, etc., and the total scent before and after using the condom. You can enjoy the effect and enjoy the aroma. These perfume ingredients have physiological effects such as a relaxation effect by pituitary stimulation, an activation effect of endocrine system, and an uplifting effect by stimulation of each part of the cerebrum, and the type of fragrance is properly used according to the purpose.

  This subject aims at the invention of the condom which added the fragrance | flavor which has a masking effect of a rubber odor and gives a physiological effect and a psychological action.

  Perfumes having physiological effects that can be used in the present invention for the above purpose are neroli (orange flower), jasmine, rosemary, bergamot, frankincense (frankincense or olibanum), melissa (lemon balm), benzoin (benzoic incense) , Yarrow, fennel, vetiver, ginger (ginger), myrrh (dissolved), lily of the valley, carnation, citronella, randel (linden), ajowan, eucalyptus, verbena, tuberose absolute, citrus, palmarosa, cinnamon, pine, carrot seed (carrot seed) ), Tangerine, Ylang-Ylang, Pertuly, Juniper (Prunus vulgaris), Petit Grain, Cypress, Tea Tree (Titry), Oregano, Lemon Verbena, Cayupute, Angelica, Rape fruit, cistus, clove, basil, lemon, lime, mace, amber, oak moss, balsam, cumin, myrtle, cardamom, cypress (hiba), pepper (black pepper), clarisage (onisalvia), geranium, coriander, lemongrass, Bay leaf, castrium, artemisia, camphor white (camphor), nutmeg, sage (medicinal salvia), yuzu, mimosa, dill, manuka, vetiver, elemi, kodiaoi (cyst), niouri, marjoram, birch, laurel, helichrysum, lantana, tarragon , Robeji, Labansara, Inula, Callaway, Kaman, Hyssop, Pine needle, worm seed, mandarin, Sibet, Lithsea, Fennel sweet, Rosewood, Absolute Rose, Otto Rose, German Chamomile, Roman Chamomile, Orange, Sweet Orange, Bitter Orange, Yellow Time, Red Time, Wild Time, Lavender Cotton (Santrina), Lavender, Spike Lavender, Cedarwood, Cedar Tree, Spearmint, Peppermint, There are arvensis mint, star anise, anise, abrial lavandin, gross lavandin and super lavandin. One selected from the group of fragrances or a combination of two or more is added. In the case where 50 to 1,000 mg of lubricant is added to one condom, the use concentration of the fragrance is effective in the range of 1 to 500,000 ppm. When the addition amount is 1 ppm or less, the fragrance component has a physiological effect. There are many subjects who cannot be recognized, and on the other hand, when the addition amount is 500,000 ppm or more, there are many subjects who feel unpleasant because the scent is too strong, and the addition of 10 to 50,000 ppm is most preferable. Claims 1 to 3 will be described in the best mode for carrying out the invention described below.

  The fragrance used in the present invention is prepared by adding one or two or more kinds to a condom and a condom lubricant, thereby providing a relaxation effect by pituitary stimulation, an activation effect of the endocrine system, and stimulation of each part of the cerebrum. It has become possible to produce a condom having a physiological effect such as an uplifting effect and a lubricant used for the condom. The mechanism of the physiological action expressed by the fragrance used in the present invention is that linalyl acetate and linalool contained in ingredients such as petitgren, lavender, clariage, bergamot as a fragrance having a physiological action, Serotonin is secreted into the body to relax the mind and body. In other words, vaporized fragrance molecules are inhaled, absorbed into the nasal mucosa and transmitted to the olfactory nerve cells, and in the limbic system, the scent information is converted to electrical signals and transmitted to the brain, the hypothalamus, autonomic nerves, pituitary gland, It is transmitted to the immune system and induces physiological effects such as hormone secretion, and at the same time, it is also transmitted to various parts of the cerebrum to induce psychological effects such as emotion, memory, and behavior. Furthermore, these fragrance | flavors can acquire the effect which masks the rubber odor of a condom by fragrance.

  In the present invention, a fragrance having a physiological action is added to a condom and a condom lubricant. The effects of these fragrance components can be used for purposes such as aromatherapy. The combination of the fragrances used in the present invention and the concentration to be added are prepared by adding samples with various concentrations of fragrances, determining the suitability by a sensory test, and using the result as the reference for the fragrance. Add the fragrance to the condom directly to the rolled product, and add it to the condom lubricant at the time of blending.

  Add fragrance bergamot, jasmine, lime, frankincense, cardamom, rosewood, angelica, ylang ylang, coriander, neroli, grapefruit, lavender, anise, cinnamon, vetiver alone to the water-soluble lubricant for condoms. The impression of the scent of each lubricant was evaluated according to the sensory test criteria shown in 1).

Perfume bergamot, jasmine, lime, frankincense, cardamom, rosewood, angelica, ylang ylang, coriander, neroli, grapefruit, lavender, anise, cinnamon, vetiver alone at 1,000 ppm or 10,000 ppm each Was added. 150 mg of the adjusted lubricant was added per condom, and the perfume impressions added according to the sensory test criteria shown in Table 1 were compared and evaluated according to concentration.

Perfume bergamot, jasmine, lime, frankincense, cardamom, rosewood, angelica, ylang ylang, coriander, neroli, grapefruit, lavender, anise, cinnamon, and vetiver are used alone for condom water-soluble lubricants, each at 10,000ppm 150 mg of each adjusted lubricant was added per condom, and evaluated after storage for one year. In the same manner, a lubricant with newly added fragrance was prepared, and a condom added with 150 mg each immediately before the sensory test was prepared as a sample without storage period, and the masking effect of rubber odor on the fragrance was evaluated by the sensory test according to (Table 2). did. As a standard for confirming the masking effect, a fragrance-free product was prepared, and the above-mentioned one year storage sample was compared with the sample without storage period.

The sensory test evaluated (1) one kind of fragrance evaluation, (2) evaluation of the amount added per fragrance, and (3) masking effect of rubber odor. The number of points for each subject of these sensory test results was totaled, and the total value of each was used as the overall evaluation of each fragrance sample, and shown in (Table 3): maximum 40, minimum -20 points.

From the results of the sensory test, spice-based fragrances such as cardamom and cinnamon cannot be used in the present invention because the fragrance stimulation is too strong for a single use. It has been found that a floral fragrance has a good scent impression when used alone. In addition, in the evaluation (2) of rosewood, grapefruit, etc., the perfume with a low 1,000 ppm point and a high 10,000 ppm point has a lower number of points after storage for one year than immediately after addition. It was found that the impression of fragrance was weak in single use.

The sensory test was evaluated by 20 professional panels (10 men and women) who have experience for more than 3 years. A panel with a well-ventilated individual booth was prepared, and the sample was put in a special container to keep the distance between the panel and the sample constant. Moreover, the sensory test which the evaluation to a sample does not shift was implemented by making the order of a test sample random by each paneler.

The comparative evaluation of incense was performed from the results of Example 1, and 12 subjects (7 males and 5 females) who felt a strong difference in fragrance were used, and the evaluation of Example 2 was advanced.

  Samples were prepared by combining various fragrances and added to the condom in a stepwise ratio, and the sensory test was conducted in the following manner.

Based on an oil-soluble lubricant for condoms, a sample to which rosemary 1,000 ppm was added and a sample to which cedar tree 1,000 ppm was added were prepared, and both solutions were 10: 1, 5: 1, 1: 1, 1: Samples prepared at a ratio of 5, 1:10 were added to the condom in an amount of 150 mg each.

Similarly, frankincense: ylang ylang, frankincense: cardamom, petit grain: eucalyptus, palmarosa: benzoin, geranium: anise, lily of the valley: anise, lily of the valley: carnation, carnation: jasmine, bergamo: jasmine, lavender: oak moss, neroli: roman chamomile , Cinnamon: yarrow, citrus: sweet orange were prepared according to the mixing ratio, and a sensory test was performed according to the evaluation criteria shown in (Table 4).

The number of points for each subject of these sensory test results was tabulated, and the total value of each was taken as the overall evaluation of each blending ratio sample and shown in (Table 5): maximum 24, minimum -12 points.

  About the sample with high evaluation among the mixing | blending samples obtained in Example 2, the density | concentration was set to the range of 1-500,000 ppm, and the sensory test after adding to a condom was done. Using the same 12 subjects selected in Example 2, the same sensory test and point calculation as in Example 2 were performed, and the optimum concentration in each formulation was examined.

Here, the blend A was set in the range of 1 to 500,000 ppm in the oil-soluble lubricant for a fragrance-added condom having a blend ratio of petit grain 5: eucalyptus 1, which was highly evaluated in (Table 5). 150mg added to each. Similarly, blend B is a carnation 5: jasmine 1, blend C is lily of the valley 5: anise 1, blend D is neroli 1: roman chamomile 5, blend E is a palmarosa 1: benzoin 1 flavored lubricant sample. The samples prepared according to the concentrations for these formulations A to E were evaluated by performing a sensory test according to (Table 1).

Many test subjects did not recognize the scent at 10 ppm or less, and replied that the scent was too strong at 50,000 ppm or more. Further, it was found that the optimum concentration of the fragrance blended sample varies depending on the kind of the fragrance (Table 6).

  In order to compare a fragrance having a physiological effect with a general fruit fragrance, the fragrance was added to the water-soluble lubricant for condoms of Comparative Examples 1 to 4 in contrast to Example 4 in which the fragrance was added to the water-soluble lubricant for condoms. In order to compare the added samples, the sensory test of (Table 7) was performed using the same subjects as 12 selected in Example 2.

Fragrance rosewood was 4,000 ppm, lavender was 4,000 ppm and clariage was 2,000 ppm in a water-soluble lubricant for condoms, and 150 mg was added to the condom.

As Comparative Example 1, 5,000 ppm of fragrance strawberry in water-soluble lubricant for condom, 10,000 ppm of fragrance strawberry as Comparative Example 2, 5,000 ppm of fragrance melon as Comparative Example 3, and 10,000 ppm of fragrance melon as Comparative Example 4 As Comparative Example 5, the fragrance strawberry and the fragrance melon were scented to 5,000 ppm each, and 150 mg of this lubricant was added to the condom. In the sensory test, answers were obtained in the alternative of the samples of Comparative Examples 1 to 5 with respect to Example 4.

As a result of the sensory test that asks the subject's preference which fragrance is preferred, most subjects selected the sample of Example 4 (Table 8).

Most subjects selected the sample of Example 4 as the sensory test result asking which scent enhances the mood when using a condom when smelled (Table 9).

As for the sensory test results asking which fragrance can obtain the relaxation effect when smelled, most subjects selected the sample of Example 4 (Table 10).

From these results, it was confirmed that Example 4 was a sample that was favored by many by the addition of a fragrance, and that further obtained a physiological effect.

According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain an effect of masking rubber odor with a scent preferred by a large number of subjects by adding a fragrance that is adjusted to an appropriate amount. A condom having a physiological effect such as an uplifting effect of a mood and a lubricant used for the condom can be obtained. In addition, it can be used for rubber products other than condoms (for example, rubber bands, balloons, finger sack, gloves, stool collection bags, especially disposable products) for the manufacture of rubber products with various physiological effects and masking of rubber odors. Is available.
