A condom in the form of a sheath is described which is closed at one end and open at the opposite end, the opposite end being surrounded by a bead having a minimum inner diameter of at least 32 mm and a wall thickness of greater than 2 mm. A method of manufacture is also described.

Disclosed in the present disclosure are a pure polyurethane condom having an adhesive layer, and a method for preparing the condom. The pure polyurethane condom having an adhesive layer at least comprises: a first polyurethane film layer; a polyurethane adhesive layer on the first polyurethane film layer; and a second polyurethane film layer on the polyurethane adhesive layer, wherein the 100% tensile modulus of the polyurethane adhesive layer is 2.5 N/mm.sup.2 or lower, and the structures of the first polyurethane film layer and the second polyurethane film layer are different from that of the polyurethane adhesive layer.

A protective sheath apparatus for female genitalia includes a flexible and deformable stimulus pad positioned between a first and second protective layer. Each protective layer includes an adhesive frame at its periphery, which enables the apparatus to be secured to the user. Removable frame covers are attached to the adhesive frames to preserve sterility before use. A handle is laterally connected to the stimulus pad and at least one protective layer to assist with application and manipulation. The stimulus pad may include air bubbles, protrusions, spikes, or moving elements arranged in various configurations to provide tactile stimulation. The apparatus is configured to cover the female genital region with the protective layers on either side of the stimulus pad.

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.
