  • Patent number: 11696848
    Abstract: The present invention provides a safe sexual behavior aid having a main body with a first side and a second side, and the main body is formed with at least one through hole and formed with a finger sleeve portion. Accordingly, when a user uses the safe sexual behavior aid, a finger can be sleeved in the finger sleeve portion, and then the mouth and tongue contact with the first side and make oral sex with a recipient of the second side. Through the finger sleeve portion, the user can clearly distinguish the first side where the mouth and tongue contact with, and the second side where the recipient clings to; thereby achieving the effect of safe oral sex, and convenience of holding and using through effectively sleeving in the finger sleeve portion.

  • Patent number: 11534332
    Abstract: A condom that extends along a central axis and has a series of ribs along an internal surface of the condom. The ribs having a concave surface that encounters blood flow from the heart, and thus uses the blood flow to urge the rib away from the central axis. The ribs also include a wall that is positioned so as to encounter the blood flow returning to the heart, the wall being vertical or concave, so as to not urge the rib away from the central axis of the condom.

  • Patent number: 11497646
    Abstract: A sexual aid useful for men that have some degree of erectile dysfunction. The device inflates to provide rigidity for sexual intercourse, or to assist in maintaining an erection. Inflation of the device according to the invention results from the reaction of non-toxic chemicals. The gas inflates a condom and supports the condom in a posture that is sufficiently rigid to facilitate sexual intercourse or inflates a constriction ring and holds blood in the penis that may maintain sufficient erectile function to facilitate sexual intercourse.

  • Patent number: 10792398
    Abstract: Inserts can be formed with elution characteristics to cause the inserts to elute an antimicrobial agent when subject to a fluid within a medical device. An insert can be formed with a desired geometry to allow the insert to be compression fit within a medical device to prevent the insert from moving or becoming dislodged once inserted into the medical device. The material may also be hygroscopic so that the insert swells when subject to a fluid thereby enhancing the compression fit of the device within the medical device. In some cases, the material can be reinforced using an internal structure. Inserts can be formed in many ways including by casting, thermoforming, or extrusion. In some cases, the inserts can be formed using a peel-away sleeve or material. The peel-away sleeves can be formed of a non-sticky material which facilitates removal of the inserts once the inserts have cured.

  • Patent number: 10258497
    Abstract: The present invention is a female condom with an extended shield that can cover and seal the external genitalia to prevent sperm and disease transmissions during coitus. The construction of the present invention involves sealing of the double layered membranous films in an omega or similar shape to create a tubular and a shield portions, followed by applications of adhesive and releasing sheets onto the exterior of both shields before it is cut into the final product. The tubular portion will form the protective barrier for vagina (condom) while the shield portion, which adheres to the external genitalia, will prevent the seepage of body fluid. The tubular portion may be inverted to serve as a male condom. Double tubular portions are constructed for unconventional sexual activities. Transverse and longitudinal folds are created to enlarge the tubular portion. The female condom may be shaped, textured, colored and flavored according to the users' demand.

  • Publication number: 20140326250
    Abstract: A condom comprises, on one or more surfaces thereof, a self-lubricating coating comprising a dry powder having a particle size of 300 microns or less. The self-lubricating coating becomes lubricious when the coating comes into contact with a liquid environment. A method of making a self-lubricating condom comprises providing a dry condom and coating said condom, on one or more surfaces thereof, with a self-lubricating coating comprising a dry powder. The invention also provides the use of a dry powder such as xanthan gum to provide a self-lubricating coating for a condom.

  • Patent number: 8869799
    Abstract: A male contraceptive device includes a condom-like sheath that is placed over the male genital member and has a flavorful formulated solution disposed inside the distal tip. The distal tip is operable to release, eject, or secrete the formulated solution during male ejaculation. The condom-like sheath is shaped to elastically conform to the elongated shape of a male genital member. The sheath has an open proximal end for receiving the male genital member and a distal end that has a distal tip that is selectively closed. The distal tip defines a reservoir containing an ingestible flavored solution and is operable to permit the release of a composition of the flavored solution and any seminal fluid that has entered the reservoir.

  • Patent number: 8813752
    Abstract: A male contraceptive device includes a condom-like sheath that is placed over the male genital member and has a flavor-infusing agent disposed within the distal end. The distal end is operable to release, eject, or secrete the flavor-altered semen during male ejaculation. The condom-like sheath is shaped to elastically conform to the elongated shape of a male genital member. The sheath has an open proximal end for receiving the male genital member and the distal end has a distal tip that is selectively closed. The distal tip defines a reservoir containing the flavor-infusing agent and is operable, upon pressure of seminal fluid entering the reservoir, to cause the flavor profile or characteristic of the seminal fluid to be altered and to permit the release of the seminal fluid that has entered the reservoir.
