Abstract: A user-activated vacuum-assisted condom applicator is shown which enables the user to apply a standard pre-rolled condom. A tubular receptacle and an egg-shaped applicator are arranged to interact with each other. The applicator is hollow and has a small hole at each end and a groove around the external surface of the fat, central portion. The tubular receptacle has a flared opening at one end and a generally closed other end with a small hole centrally disposed therein, and has an internal diameter larger than an erect penis. The egg-shaped applicator is of a size whereby the external central portion with a groove can rest upon the flared open end of the tubular receptacle without entering the tubular receptacle. In use, a rolled condom, as customarily supplied by the manufacturer, is partially unrolled and placed over one end of the egg-shaped applicator until the enlarged, rubberized ring at the open end of the condom fits into the groove in the central portion of the applicator.
