A device for use by an individual for sexual pleasure varying in form, i.e. shape, during its use and allowing for the user to select multiple variations of form either discretely or in combination and for these dynamic variations to be controllable simultaneously and interchangeably while being transparent to the normal use of the device, including the ability to insert, withdraw, rotate, and actuate the variable features manually or remotely. According to embodiments of the invention localized and global variations of devices are implemented using fluidics and electromagnetic pumps/valves wherein a fluid is employed such that controlling the pressure of the fluid results in the movement of an element within the device or the expansion/contraction of an element within the device.

Disclosed herein is a garment for exposing skin markers on a patient receiving a medical procedure using a medical device, which requires alignment to those skin markers. The skin markers are exposed through windows in the garment, which are aligned with locations on a human body where skin markers are typically placed. The windows may be open areas on the garments without any material, or comprise a sheer mesh or transparent material, or other see-through material, or the like. The remainder of the garment is attractive and fashionable and conceals private areas on a patient. Some embodiments are underwear, while other embodiments, such as pants or yoga pants, can be worn as regular clothing. Additionally, some versions provide protection from incontinence by using absorbent material, and may be reusable or disposable.

A barrier garment apparatus and methods of its use are provided. In an embodiment, the barrier garment apparatus is shaped like an undergarment and worn during oral-vaginal and/or oral-anal sex to protect another person's mouth, lips, tongue, saliva, nose, and breath from contact with the wearer's vulva, perineum, anus, and surrounding areas, in order to prevent the transmission of bacteria, sexually transmitted infections, fluids, tastes, and scents. The barrier garment apparatus is thin, substantially non-porous, elastic, effectively skin-tight, and aesthetically attractive. The barrier garment apparatus can be, for example, a device, a panty, a boyshort, a short, a lingerie item, a barrier, a garment, an undergarment, a membrane, a prophylactic, and/or a system.
