The disclosure relates to condom devices and more particularly pertains to a new condom device for inhibiting a condom from falling off during intercourse. The device includes a condom and a pair of straps each coupled to and extending away from the condom in opposing directions from each other. The device includes a pair of mating members, each coupled to a respective one of the straps. Each of the mating members is matable to each other for retaining the straps around the user’s waist thereby inhibiting the condom from falling off during intercourse.
The prior art relates to condom devices including a condom, being comprised of an electrically conductive material, and a pair of straps each coupled to the condom. The prior art discloses a condom, a belt that is wearable around a waist of a user and a pair of straps each coupled between the condom and the belt. The prior art discloses a condom which includes a pair of straps each extending away from the condom and a package in which the condom and straps are stored until use. The prior art discloses a condom retention device that includes a trough which is wearable around a condom when the condom is being worn, a strap coupled to the trough for extending around a user’s waist and a fastener coupled to the trough which engages the strap. The prior art discloses a condom retainer that includes a pair of leg straps which are extendable around a user’s legs and a loop through which a condom can be extended when the condom is being worn.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a condom that is wearable on a user’s penis during intercourse to protect against the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. A first strap is coupled to the condom and the first strap can be extended around the user’s waist when the condom is being worn. A second strap is coupled to the condom and the second strap can be extended around the user’s waist when the condom is being worn. The second strap is matable to the first strap to inhibit the condom from falling off of the user’s penis during intercourse.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
A first strap 24 is coupled to the condom 12 and the first strap 24 can be extended around the user’s waist 26 when the condom 12 is being worn. The first strap 24 has a primary end 28, a secondary end 30 and an outer surface 32 extending between the primary end 28 and the secondary end 30, and the primary end 28 is coupled to the ring 22 on the outer wall 20 of the condom 12. A first mating member 34 is provided and the first mating member 34 is coupled to the first strap 24. The first mating member 34 is positioned on the outer surface 32 and the first mating member 34 is positioned adjacent to the secondary end 30. Additionally, the first mating member 34 may comprise a hook and loop fastener or other type of releasable fastener.
A second strap 36 is coupled to the condom 12 and the second strap 36 can be extended around the user’s waist 26 when the condom 12 is being worn. The second strap 36 has a primary end 38, a secondary end 40 and an outer surface 42 extending between the primary end 38 and the secondary end 40 of the second strap 36. The primary end 38 of the second strap 36 is coupled to the ring 22 on the outer wall 20 of the condom 12 and the second strap 36 is positioned on an opposing side of the ring 22 with respect to the first strap 24.
A second mating member 44 is coupled to the second strap 36 and the second mating member 44 is releasably matable to the first mating member 34 such that the first strap 24 and the second strap 36 form a closed loop. In this way the first strap 24 and the second strap 36 inhibit the condom 12 from falling off of the user’s penis 14 during intercourse. The second mating member 44 is positioned on the outer surface 42 of the second strap 36 and the second mating member 44 is aligned with the secondary end 40 of the second strap 36. The second mating member 44 may comprise a hook and loop fastener or other type of fastener that is complementary to the first mating member 34. The second strap 36 has a length that is greater than the length of the first strap 24. In this way the first strap 24 and the second strap 36 meet each other on a side of the user’s waist 26 when the first strap 24 and the second strap 36 are wrapped around the user’s waist 26 to assist the user with mating the first strap 24 to the second strap 36.
In use, the condom 12 is worn on the user’s penis 14 prior to engaging in sexual intercourse. The each of the first strap 24 and the second strap 36 are extended around the user’s waist 26. Additionally, the first mating member 34 is attached to the second mating member 44 to form the first strap 24 and the second strap 36 into a closed loop. In this way the first strap 24 and the second strap 36 inhibit the condom 12 from falling off of the user’s penis 14 during intercourse. The first strap 24 is removed uncoupled from the second strap 36 and the condom 12 is discarded after sexual intercourse is completed.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
