Apparatus that enables non-penetrating sex between two users. Embodiments may be integrated into or attached to clothing worn by the first user. A tubular element (including, but not limited to, a male or female condom) may be installed either permanently or detachably; attachments at both the open and closed ends of the tubular element ensure that it will not penetrate the first user. Users may therefore enjoy many of the benefits of sex, including intimacy and mutual stimulation, without the risks inherent in penetration. Attachment for the open end may use for example an element that attaches to a base ring or flange at the open end. Illustrative attachments for the closed end include a loop into which the closed end is cinched, a notch or hole into which a button in the closed end is inserted, and a mechanism into which the closed end is inserted, folded, and secured.

The present invention relates to a novel female condom device. The device is a form of contraception designed to keep women safe during sexual intercourse. The device comprises a body component comprised of a dental dam component and male condom component. Typically, the dental dam component would be a flat, thin sheet of latex or nitrile in a rectangular shape but can be any suitable size/shape. The underside of the body component of the device would comprise an adhesive to keep the device in place during sex, minimizing the transfer of bodily fluids. In position, the flat adhesive dental dam component remains outside the vagina, while the male condom component extends into the vaginal walls, as the male penis is inserted for sexual intercourse. Once in place, the device will reduce transmission of STI and STD for women by a significant percent while also helping prevent or reduce pregnancy.

The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for inhibiting inflammation and reducing the risk of spreading sexually transmitted diseases using an alginic acid-based antimicrobial compound. Such compositions provide dual protection by (1) attacking and inactivating viruses and other microbes and (2) blocking the host response that viruses trigger to invade host cells. Such compositions can also be part of an acid buffering contraceptive.

Disclosed is a medical endovaginal device, including an elongated element defining a direction of development and having, at its proximal end, a head arranged to be introduced inside the vagina and, at its distal end, engagement element with the extreme portion of the penis during sexual intercourse.

The present disclosure describes a vaginal system comprising segesterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol configured for thirteen 28-day product-use cycles that is compatible with male condoms comprising natural rubber latex, polyisoprene, or polyurethane and a method of providing birth control using the vaginal system wherein a secondary contraception is employed when the vaginal system is removed or expelled from the vagina for specified amounts of time during any of the product-use cycles.

We have developed a female condom and applicator apparatus that makes female condom easier to apply and more comfortable to use throughout the entire process. Several embodiments take advantage of traditional female tampon applicator structure and existing female condom design. This is easier for female users to adopt due to their already familiarity with similar device and their usage. One design has the applicator on the inside of the female condom which makes the applicator reusable. Another design has the entire female condom tucked inside the applicator, with the condom inner ring inside the applicator outer tube and condom outer ring inside applicator's inner ring. Another design has strings attached to the condom outside ring to keep it from moving or make noise. The device provides a low cost, easy to use, no side-effects, and ready-for-mass adoption solution for the market.

A strap-on condom assembly for inhibiting a condom from falling off during intercourse includes a condom that is wearable on a user's penis during intercourse to protect against the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. A first strap is coupled to the condom and the first strap can be extended around the user's waist when the condom is being worn. A second strap is coupled to the condom and the second strap can be extended around the user's waist when the condom is being worn. The second strap is matable to the first strap to inhibit the condom from falling off of the user's penis during intercourse.

A multifunctional polyethylene glycol-based hydrogel that includes a multi-arm polyethylene glycol cross-linking unit covalently bound to at least four multi-arm polyethylene glycol nanocarrier units, wherein each nanocarrier unit includes an agent coupled to the nanocarrier unit and each agent is selected from pH-lowering agents, bioadhesion agents, microbicidal-spermicidal agents, and agents that inhibit free and cell-associated HIV binding, provided that each nanocarrier unit comprises a different agent.
