Definitions

  • the penis must be in an erect condition, that is, engorged with blood. This is the same condition in which the glans of the penis is most sensitive, enlarged, flared and exposed with the foreskin drawn back.
  • the shape of the erect penis is such that the diameter of the rear of the glans is significantly larger than the diameter of the shaft of the penis directly where it joins at the rear of the glans. The diameter of the shaft then increases again towards the base of the penis. There is thus a diminished diameter, or valley, directly behind the glans.
  • the condom is taken out of the packaging and the opening is stretched larger with the fingers to increase the diameter of the opening sufficiently to fit the condom over the glans.
  • the wearer's both hands are needed to accomplish this, leaving him no hand to grasp or steady his erect penis.
  • the wearer is required to stretch the rolled up condom opening to accommodate one of the widest parts of the penis, the head, at precisely the time when the rolled up condom presents the strongest resistance and the smallest opening, and at precisely the time when the penis is at its largest.
  • the rear rim end section may be designed so that it engages the front rim end section when it (the front rim end section) is rolled up against the rear rim end section.
  • the rolled up front rim end section is engaged is such a way that it cannot disengage and roll back into a deployed position by itself, unaided. It is necessary to manually disengage the rolled up front end section rim from the rear rim end section so that the rolled up front end rim section can then be unrolled into the deployed position.
  • the rear rim end section may be designed so that it incorporates a loop. This loop may be made of the same material from which the rest of the condom is made. This loop may be placed around and behind the scrotum thereby holding the condom firmly in position on the wearer's penis. This loop may hold the rear rim end section closer and firmer to the base of the penis and closer to the body.
  • This second loop may hold the rear rim end section closer and firmer to the base of the penis and closer to the body. This means that a longer condom can effectively be shortened or lengthened, thus suiting more wearers. Alternatively the wearer may utilise some of the extra length to accommodate his foreskin, which, instead of being pinned back by the design of the conventional condom, may move more naturally.
  • the condom with this second loop attached may still be rolled up from front to rear (or rear to front depending on the embodiment) in the normal manner for packaging.
  • This second loop may have a diameter larger than the diameter of the rear rim. In this case this larger second loop is folded upon itself before rolling up is commenced. There may be more loops attached at various distances from the rear ring.
  • the loop/s referred to above may take the form of an integrated, single, thin, elongated retraining strap/s, attached to the rear rim, and/or the body of the condom in a manner and position similar to that pertaining to the loop/s above.
  • the restraining strap has two ends, one of which is attached to the condom near the top, and the other, which is unattached and may taper down to a smaller diameter (thickness) at the end to facilitate threading.
  • Adjacent to the attached end of the retaining strap is a flap of material, similar to that from which the strap is fabricated, attached to the condom. This flap of material has an aperture large enough that the loose end of the retaining strap may be freely threaded there through.
  • the retaining strap may have enlarged, bulbous sections fabricated at regular intervals along its length.
  • the diameter of these enlarged, bulbous sections at their greatest diameter may be greater than the internal diameter of the aperture in the flap.
  • the force, required to move the enlarged, bulbous sections through the aperture in the flap may be altered by fabricating the enlarged, bulbous sections and / or the aperture, from materials of various elasticity. This means that the force required might be regulated so that the retaining strap will not readily slide out of the aperture under normal circumstances, but may be adjusted by hand to comfortably fit in position around the scrotum.
  • the retaining strap enables the wearer to fit the strap around and behind the scrotum more exactly, to cater for changing circumstances, such as cold conditions, which may cause the scrotum to contract.
  • the wearer When the wearer wishes to commence sexual activity requiring the protection of the condom, he deploys the condom by disengaging the rolled up front rim end section and unrolling it down the penis towards the head of the penis.
  • the condom is designed so that the tube is long enough to ensure that in the rolled down, deployed position the front rim end section (front end of the condom) protrudes beyond the glans of the penis.
  • the front end of the condom may have a method of closing off in a fluid tight manner, thus completely enclosing the penis in the manner of a conventional condom. The protection of the condom is now complete and the wearer can safely engage in sexual activity.
  • the wearer, or his sex partner may simply make a firm knot in the condom comfortably in front of the head of the penis.
  • the condom can thus be deployed and foreplay can commence before the penis is erect; indeed even if the penis is totally flaccid.
  • the male condom further includes enveloping packaging, which encompasses the condom in the rolled up un-deployed condition.
  • the packaging may be sterile sealed so that the male condom inside remains in a sterile condition until the packaging is opened.
  • the packaging may include an attached loop so that the packaged condom may be placed on the penis of the wearer and the loop placed in position behind and around the scrotum in such a way that the packaged condom remains in place, un-deployed, on the penis.
  • the packaging may be in the get-up of the manufacturer as designed to be displayed for sale.
  • the condom there may be present of the body of the condom (for example on the outside) a line or stripe longitudinally from the front to the back.
  • the purpose of this line is to assist the wearer in placing the condom in a specific orientation on the penis.
  • To successfully deploy the condom on the penis it is necessary that the condom is, firstly, the right way around at commencement of unrolling, and secondly, that the retaining loop is correctly positioned when fully unrolled, so that it may be correctly placed around the scrotum.
  • a separate, loose locating tab may be present.
  • This locating tab may be removable attached to the rolled up condom as it is when opened and may be held in place by being rolled up with the material of the condom during the packaging process. When the condom is unrolled over the penis, the locating tab is discarded.
  • the purpose of the locating tab is to assist the wearer in placing the condom in a specific orientation on the penis. To successfully deploy the condom on the penis it is necessary that the condom is, firstly, the right way around at commencement of unrolling, and secondly, that the retaining loop is correctly positioned when fully unrolled, so that it may be correctly placed around the scrotum.
  • the locating tab may have the word "top” written on it as well as be colour coded, e.g. the green side towards the body, and the red side away from the body. There may be an irregularity (knob or indentation) on the tab indicating which side must be towards the body, and which side must be away.
  • the wearer can locate the orientation of the condom easily by feel. For example when the wearer is ready to fit a condom he can take it out of its packaging, feel for the locating tab, make sure that it is upright on the top of the rolled up condom (pointing in the direction of his face) and that the knob (on the green side) is facing towards his body.

There is thus a structural tendency for the deployed condom to remain in its correct position on the penis.
  • This outside offsetting may be brought about by rolling the wall material inwardly back upon itself a number of times to form the rim.
