Abstract: A condom with reduced chance of failure includes an inner pouch within an outer pouch. The inner pouch is bonded to the outer pouch adjacent to their open ends to form a sealed interstitial space between the inner and outer pouches. A lubricant is located in the interstitial space to enable the outer pouch to slide relative to the inner pouch during sexual intercourse. The outer pouch has an enlarged head area so that the outer pouch easily slides back and forth over the inner pouch and glans of the penis during intercourse. The inner pouch has a wall thickness that is less than the wall thickness of the outer pouch for increased sensitivity. The inner pouch has a narrow segment extending into a smaller bulb exerting pressure at the junction of the glans and shaft covering the entire frenulum area, thereby inhibiting premature ejaculation and reducing slippage.

Abstract: A collection device for human bodily fluids includes a conventional bag constructed of a soft plastic, waterproof material. The bag consists of a hard plastic supporting mouth, proper volume of hydrophilic material such as polymer and a heat-sealed anti-backflow tri-valve in the interior of a front trunk portion of the bag. The supporting mouth is located as to cover the genitourinary area or mouth of an individual in use for urinal or vomiting purposes. This hydrophilic material allows quick absorption of human fluids and turns it into a gelled material. The gelled material is then trapped inside the heat-sealed tri-valve bag to prevent possible spillage and backflow. The versatility of the heat-sealed funnel design bag helps the direct engagement with the hydrophilic material to speed up absorption time with the human fluid and preventing spillage or backflow. It also simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces overall production costs.
