Abstract: Provided, among other things, is a packaged condom comprising: a sealed package; within the package, an polyisoprene condom; and within the package and substantially coating the condom, a lubricant comprising solvent and one or more sensation-providing agents comprising one or more of vanillyl butyl ether, menthyl lactate, and menthol, wherein the solvent comprises non-water soluble silicone oil and 99% or more of the lubricant by weight is the non-water soluble silicone oil.

Abstract: Polymeric articles, such as condoms or gloves, including a decoration, are described. The polymeric article includes at least two polymeric layers, and a decoration. The decoration is at least one of a polymeric film, a decal or a temporary tattoo disposed between the at least two polymeric layers. Methods for manufacturing polymeric articles including a decoration are also described.

Abstract: Provided among other things is a lubricant formulation comprising by weight: water about 20 to about 45%; propylene glycol about 40 to about 50%; siloxane/emulsifier about 15 to about 30%; and C6 to C12 glycol about 0.5 to about 2%, wherein the formulation is clear to slightly hazy, and wherein additional components are about 5% by weight of the formulation or less.

Abstract: Condoms, condom formers, and methods for forming condoms are disclosed. A condom includes an open end, a closed end, a tubular sheath extending from the open end to the closed end, a tip portion adapted to cover a glans of a penis, disposed adjacent to the closed end, and a plurality of raised features disposed on the tubular sheath, having a top surface area and a base surface area, wherein the total raised top surface area is greater than the total base surface area of the condom.

Abstract: A condom including a polymeric sheath, and one or more features including a polymeric composition disposed thereon, the one or more feature optionally having a color different than that of the polymeric sheath, is disclosed. Apparatus and methods for manufacturing a textured condom are also disclosed.

Abstract: Condoms having an elastomeric layer and coating containing an anhydrous warming lubricant and at least one or more ingredients dispersed therein, the coating being disposed on one or both surfaces are provided. The ingredients disposed on the elastomeric layer can be solid particles or encapsulated ingredients that are insoluble in the anhydrous warming lubricant and soluble in water. Methods of producing and using these condoms are also provided.

Abstract: A substantially anhydrous, spreadable warming lubricant composition comprising a mixture of glycerin, a polyhydric alcohol, and a non-ionic surfactant, the viscosity of the composition being less than that of glycerin but greater than that of the polyhydric alcohol, thereby promoting formation of a useful thin layer on a surface with which the composition is brought into contact, the surfactant improving wetting and spreadability of the composition on skin and latex, such that the composition can be applied to skin or a condom and provide an optimal warming effect upon contact with ambient moisture during use and such that the composition can be added to a condom package and, over the course of about a week, spread and coat nearly the entire internal and external surfaces of the condom.

Abstract: A substantially anhydrous, thickened, spreadable, warming lubricant composition comprising a mixture of glycerin, polyhydric alcohol, a non-ionic surfactant, and a Carbomer thickener, the surfactant improving wetting and spreadability of the composition on skin and latex, and the thickener providing a creamy rich feel to the composition, such that the composition can be applied to skin or a condom and provide an optimal warming effect upon contact with ambient moisture during use and such that the composition can be added to a condom package and, over the course of a week, spread and coat nearly the entire internal and external surfaces of the condom.

Abstract: Condoms are disclosed, which include an open end defining a base, a closed end defining an apex, a tubular sheath extending from the base to the apex, a tip portion, adapted to cover a glans of a penis, disposed adjacent to the apex, a bottom portion extending from the base portion to the tip portion, the tubular sheath including an inside surface defining a circumference; and a plurality of integrally formed ribs or protrusions disposed on at least one of the tip portion, the base portion, or the bottom portion of the tubular sheath and forming an undulating pattern around the circumference.

Abstract: Provided are condoms, methods of making and treating sexual dysfunction with the same, the condoms having a multiplicity of microcapsules containing an ingredient therein, the microcapsules being disposed on one or more surfaces of the condom such that the microcapsules are substantially exposed. The microcapsules can be disposed on one or both surfaces. A barrier layer between the microcapsules and the condom can be provided. The barrier layer can comprise nitrile, polyurethane, polyacetal urea, or combinations thereof. Further embodiments of such condoms are provided where an ingredient without encapsulation is disposed on the elastomeric layer along with the microcapsules.

Abstract: Provided are condoms and methods of making and using the same, the condoms having an elastomeric layer and a low melt wax bead which comprises an active ingredient mixed therein, wherein the bead is affixed on the interior surface of the elastomeric layer in the tip of the condom. Active ingredients can include spermicides such as nonoxynol-9 and vasodilators such as niacin, sildenafil citrate, and nitroglycerin and male desensitizing agents such as benzocaine. The bead can comprise a natural wax in combination with polyethylene glycol or it can be a polyethylene glycol-based wax. The exterior surface of the elastomeric layer is substantially free of the active ingredient.
