  • Patent number: 8485196
    Abstract: An improved female condom apparatus includes a pouch that has a wall, an open end, a closed end and a frame. The frame is positioned proximate the open end of the pouch and extends around a perimeter of the open end. An anchoring device is located within the pouch proximate the closed end to secure the condom in position during use. A harness includes a center strap and may include side straps. One end of each strap is secured to the open end of the pouch. Further, one or more of the straps may be detachable from the pouch. At least the center strap may be constructed of a resilient and/or pliable material. As such, during use the center strap extends between a user's legs and resiliently engages the user's back in a clamping or tensioning action. This clamping action assists in securing the condom in position during use.

  • Patent number: 6983751
    Abstract: An improved condom includes a body that has a wall, a closed end and an open end. The wall of the condom has an interior surface and an exterior surface. A textured portion on the condom functions to increase the sensation transmitted by the condom during use. The textured portion may be positioned in a curved region of the condom. When used as a female condom, the textured portion inhibits the possibility of the condom be displaced. A retention device is also provided that is disposed in the interior of the condom and expands during use.
