DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

[0026] The innovation is now described with reference to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals are used to refer to like elements throughout. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding thereof. It may be evident, however, that the innovation can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to facilitate a description thereof. Various embodiments are discussed hereinafter. It should be noted that the figures are described only to facilitate the description of the embodiments. They are not intended as an exhaustive description of the invention and do not limit the scope of the invention. Additionally, an illustrated embodiment need not have all the aspects or advantages shown. Thus, in other embodiments, any of the features described herein from different embodiments may be combined.

[0027] As noted above, there exists a long felt need in the art for an improved contraception undergarment that allows individuals to maintain pleasure and that does not cause discomfort. There is also a long felt need in the art for an improved contraception undergarment that prevents transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. Additionally, there is a long felt need in the art for an improved contraception undergarment that prevents unintentional pregnancies. Moreover, there is a long felt need in the art for an improved contraception undergarment that can be worn like a regular undergarment while performing sexual intercourse. Further, there is a long felt need in the art for an improved contraception undergarment that accommodates both male and female anatomies. Finally, there is a long felt need in the art for an improved contraception undergarment that allows individuals to maintain comfort while offering a safe contraceptive method.

[0028] The present invention, in one exemplary embodiment, is a unisex short boxer contraceptive undergarment for anal sex and vaginal sex. The short boxer contraceptive undergarment is made up of latex or similar, and includes a pair of leg openings, a waistband to create an opening to receive and encircle the waist of the wearer, a thinner layer of latex near the central buttock line and near the crotch area, thereby allowing safe, secure and easy anal sex and vaginal sex while wearing the undergarment.

[0029] Referring initially to the drawings, FIG. 1A illustrates a front perspective view of one potential embodiment of contraceptive underwear of the present invention designed for a male user in accordance with the disclosed architecture. The contraceptive male underwear 100 is designed like a conventional boxer and is to be worn like conventional underwear by a male during sexual intercourse. The male underwear 100, in one exemplary construction, can be made of soft latex, the same material as a condom. More specifically, the contraceptive male underwear 100 includes a frontal region 1000 to cover a front portion of a wearer and a rear region (shown as 120 in FIG. 1B) to cover the buttocks of the wearer. A right leg element 102 with a right leg opening 1020 and a left leg element 104 with a left leg opening 1040. The leg openings 1020, 1040 are used for inserting the legs of a male wearer for wearing the male contraceptive underwear 100. The male underwear 100 includes a waistband 106 defining a waist opening 1060 to receive and encircle the waist or abdomen of a wearer. The waistband 106 can be soft and elastic.

[0030] The male underwear 100 includes a penis cover 108 extending from an opening 110. The penis cover 108 is elastic, soft, and is configured to receive the penis of a male wearer of the underwear 100. When worn by a male user, the penis cover 108 prevents the penis of the wearer from touching the skin of an intercourse partner and thus prevents the exchange of bodily fluids. The penis cover 108 acts like a condom for the male wearer, and prevents unwanted pregnancies and transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. For providing additional comfort to the wearer, the underwear 100 includes a scrotum bag 112 to receive and stabilize the scrotum of the male user during sexual intercourse. The scrotum bag 112 also reduces the pressure on the testicles during intercourse, and can be made up of latex or similar.

[0031] The penis cover 108 comes in a variety of sizes, thereby allowing the users to choose as per their preferences and can conform to the shape of a male penis and especially to the shape of the glans. The cover 108 is soft to the foreskin of the penis and does not cause discomfort or lead to loss of pleasure during sexual intercourse. The penis cover 108 allows the penis to lean downward towards the scrotum, and also allows the penis to lean to predetermined angles or greater in the left, right, or upward direction. The penis cover 108 keeps the male reproductive organ in a dry, breathable and radiating natural normal and excited state.

[0032] The advantage of the contraceptive male underwear 100 is that it can be worn easily and comfortably under the trousers or even under conventional underwear, shorts or boxers. For users that are allergic to latex, the contraceptive male underwear 100 can be constructed of one or more of polyurethane, polyisoprene, or lambskin. The underwear 100 provides protection against sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs) or sexually-transmitted infections (STIs). It is also used as a barrier method of birth control (contraception) for preventing pregnancy by keeping the male wearer's sperm from reaching a female's eggs. The penis cover 108 collects ejaculation fluids and also prevents ejaculation fluids of the intercourse partner from touching the penis of the male user wearing the underwear 100. Further, as per the present embodiment, the penis cover 108 can be both lubricated or non-lubricated. Further, a flavoring agent and/or a spermicide in the form of a cream, gel, foam or film and can be coated on the penis cover 108.

[0033] In one potential embodiment, the penis cover 108 encloses, or at least partially encloses, the penis. The penis cover 108 can slip over the penile shaft and can be formed as a sleeve-like sack or pouch that includes an opening 110. The purpose of the opening 110 is to allow for easier insertion of the penis into the penis covering.

[0034] FIG. 1B illustrates a rear perspective view of one potential embodiment of the contraceptive underwear of the present invention designed for a male user in accordance with the disclosed architecture. The rear surface 120 of the underwear 100 conforms to the shape of the butt of the wearer, thereby providing a comfortable and watertight fit to the wearer. The leg elements 102, 104 cover the thighs, or upper thighs, of the male wearer.

[0035] In the preferred embodiment, the penis cover 108 acts as an integrated condom and can collapse when not in use. During use, the penis cover 108 extends away allowing the penis to move easily in desired directions. The penis cover 108 can include dots or ribs for increasing the pleasure of sexual intercourse. The integrated penis cover 108 eliminates the use of any additional condom and can fit over the penis in a manner similar to a conventional condom.

[0036] FIG. 2 illustrates a perspective view showing another embodiment of contraceptive underwear of the present invention for female users in accordance with the disclosed architecture. The female contraceptive underwear 200 is especially designed for female users whose partners may not like to wear condoms during sexual intercourse. The female contraceptive underwear 200 is similar to a conventional female underwear and includes a right leg opening 202 and a left leg opening 204 for inserting legs therethrough. A crotch area 206 is configured to cover the crotch area of the female wearer and includes a waistband 208 defining a waist opening 2080 to receive and encircle the waist of the female user, but may also cover portions of the mid or upper thigh of the wearer. The female underwear 200 can be constructed of one or more materials such as latex, polyurethane, polyisoprene or lambskin. The underwear 200 can be flexible and can act as a barrier between skin-to-skin contact during intercourse while providing pleasure of sexual intercourse. The underwear 200 provides protection against sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The underwear 200 can also be used as a barrier method of birth control (contraception) for preventing pregnancy by keeping the male wearer's sperm from reaching a female's eggs.

[0037] FIG. 3 illustrates a rear perspective view of another embodiment of contraceptive underwear of the present invention in the form of unisex short boxers for anal intercourse in accordance with the disclosed architecture. In the present embodiment, the unisex contraceptive short boxer 300 is in the form of a trunk, and can be worn both by female and male users for safe and secure sexual intercourse. The contraceptive short boxer 300 is specially designed for anal intercourse. However, it can be effectively used for vaginal intercourse as well. More specifically, the contraceptive unisex short boxer 300 includes two leg openings 302, 304 and a waistband 308 defining a waist opening 3080 to create an opening to encircle the waist of a wearer. The contraceptive unisex short boxer 300 can be made of thin latex, or similar, and a rear surface 310 can include a relatively thinner latex layer 306 allowing effective and pleasurable anal intercourse.

[0038] The unisex contraceptive short boxer 300 can cover 90% of the wearer's buttock area and the crotch area 312 and can be used for having vaginal intercourse. Based on their preferences, any or both sexual partners can use the unisex contraceptive short boxer 300.

[0039] FIG. 4 illustrates a front perspective view showing the unisex long trunk embodiment of the contraceptive underwear of the present invention in accordance with the disclosed architecture. In the present embodiment, the contraceptive underwear is in the form of a long unisex trunk 400 that can be worn by both males and females. The long unisex trunk 400 provides more coverage area and protection from skin-to-skin rubbing, contact and/or interaction during sexual intercourse. The long unisex trunk 400 includes a frontal region 402 to cover the front portion of a wearer and a rear region 404 to cover the buttocks of the wearer. The leg openings 406, 408 are used for inserting legs into them and a waistband 410 creates an opening 4100 to receive and encircle the waist and abdomen of the wearer. The long unisex trunk 400 can be made in any color, and can be constructed from one or more materials such as, but not limited to, a latex, plastic or lambskin.

[0040] The contraceptive undergarment of various embodiments of the present invention may be machine washable and reusable. In one variation, the contraceptive underwear can be disposable. Advantageously, the contraceptive undergarment of the present invention reduces fluid exchange during intense and creative sexual intercourse positions without the undergarment maneuvering off of the wearer.

[0041] It should be appreciated that that presently available condoms for both males and females allow only a limited protection from transmitting STDs. Further, the efficacy of the condoms can also be compromised. The undergarment of the present invention provides more coverage and protection from unwanted consequences during intercourse while not hindering sexual pleasure for both sexual partners. Because the contraceptive undergarment 100 covers more service area, there is less cleanup after intercourse or other use.

[0042] Certain terms are used throughout the following description and claims to refer to particular features or components. As one skilled in the art will appreciate, different persons may refer to the same feature or component by different names. This document does not intend to distinguish between components or features that differ in name but not structure or function.
