Abstract

Hygienic and easy-to-apply condom with strips (2) that are wrapped together with the condom (1) and are used to unwrap the condom onto the penis in one go to avoid direct contact between the condom and hands; on the bottom of the condom (1), stubs (3) are positioned and they are used to remove the condom from the penis, not by wrapping it up again but by taking it off in order to avoid the pulling of pubic hairs; the strips (2) can be a part of the condom or an addition; the strips (2) and the stubs (3) can be made so that they are all one part with the condom so that the strips (2) can be torn off the stubs (3) after the condom (1 ) is unwrapped; the strip is torn in point A and after the unwrapping of the condom the strips are torn off the stubs (B).

Description

Hygienic and Easy-to-Apply Condom

1) Technical Brief

This invention centres on a condom which self-rolls onto the penis by the pulling of strips built into the design of the sheath and that can be removed by the use of a pair of stubs attached to the condom, rather than the condom itself, in order to make it easier to take off the penis.

2) Background:

Using a traditional condom is a procedure beset with problems. They first occur when placing it onto the penis, which can take too long. It is also a procedure that requires hand contact to be made with the fabric of the condom, which in turn can contaminate it. This is especially important when an open injury on a partner's hand could lead to the transmission of STIs . When the lights are low, it is often hard to tell which way round the condom should be placed onto the penis and if that is not enough, removing a condom often entails unwittingly plucking a number of pubic hairs.

Not only are commercial condoms manufactured so as that they have to be unwrapped by hand, which can cause contamination of the condom, it also increases the possibility of fingernails or jewellery scratching the condom, causing partial removal of the lubricant and increasing the chances of the condom bursting.

3) Disclosure of the invention:

The first aim of this invention is to enable faster application, i.e. the faster unwrapping of the condom onto the penis.

The second aim of the invention is to enable the condom to be unwrapped whilst avoiding touching it.

The third aim of the invention, when visibility is poor, is to avoid confusion over the correct orientation of the condom.

The fourth aim of the invention is the easy removal of the condom from the penis when taking it off, the avoidance of further wrapping of the condom and the limitation of pulling pubic hairs.

The hygienic and easy-to-apply condom, unlike commercial ones, has strips that are rolled-in together with the condom and that are longer than the condom itself in order that the applier can hold them. When pulled, the strips actually unwrap the condom onto the penis. This movement can be done in one go, by pulling the strips in opposite directions and hand contact is completely avoided. With commercial condoms, the unwrapping is done by hand, which can make the condom dirty and take much longer than the proposed solution. The proposed solution is therefore much faster and ensures better protection from transferable diseases for the female partner. When visibility is poor, it is difficult to correctly orientate the commercial condom. This is very simple with the proposed solution, as it is easy to find the strips and pull on them.

The hygienic and easy-to-apply condom has stubs that are attached to the condom-ring at the base of the condom. After use, they are used to take the condom off the penis in order to do it faster, to avoid additional wrapping of the condom and, therefore, avoid the pulling of pubic hairs.

The strips and the stubs can be manufactured in one piece, in which case the strips would, by means of perforations, tear off the stubs after the condom was unwrapped i.e they could be easily removed immediately after the condom was unwrapped. The strips can be in one piece, too, as well as the stubs, in which case they would look like a "tie". The strips can be functional without the stubs and vice versa, i.e. it is possible to make condoms with strips or with stubs only.

4) Description of the Diagrams:

Diagram 1 shows a strip (2) and stubs (3).

Diagram 2 shows a condom (1) with a strip that is to be broken in point A.

Diagram 3 shows how strips are applied.

Diagram 4 shows a strip and point B in which the strip tears off the stubs.

Claims

Claims:

1. The hygienic and easy-to-appiy condom which consists of a condom with strips wrapped together with the condom and "removal-stubs" at the base of the condom, characterised by the strips wrapped together with the condom in order to unwrap the condom by pulling the strips in order to avoid contact between the hand and the condom and to make the entire process faster, with removal stubs at the base of the condom to be used for taking it off, to avoid additional wrapping and, therefore, the pulling of pubic hairs.

2. The hygienic and easy-to-apply condom, according to Claim 1 , characterised by the strips wrapped together with the condom to be used for unwrapping the condom onto the penis, as part of the condom or in one piece with stubs made in the way so that the strips can be torn off the condom or the stubs after the unwrapping.

3. The hygienic and easy-to-apply condom, according to Claim 2, characterised by the removal stubs located in the bottom of the condom, which are used for easy removal of the condom.
