AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The invention provides a package for a condom that is easy to unpack and use with one hand. The package includes a holder with a flat surface and a skin that can be torn open to expose the condom. The skin can be attached to the holder or to a case covering the holder. The case can be opened and closed with ease, making the unpacking process convenient for users. The technical effects of this invention include improved user experience, convenience, and a more efficient and comfortable unpacking process."

Problems solved by technology

The main disadvantage of traditional condoms is that it takes a long time and much effort to unpack and put on a condom.

As a result, the user's attention is distracted away from sexual intercourse.

It is not possible to open the package without looking at it.

The movements of this hand are therefore restricted.

Generally, this position is uncomfortable, and the user can release his second hand only for a short time.

It is known that some people do not use condoms even when necessary, and the main reason for this is that they have to spend a long time and much effort to put a condom on, resulting in distraction of their minds from the sexual intercourse.

However, it is not easy to hold the condom with one hand using these ribbons, excluding the case when the ribbons are connected to a rigid base actually forming a holder.

However, the problems related to unpacking process remain unsolved even with these holders.

However, the mentioned steps can be hard to perform in some cases, e.g. in the twilight.

As a result, the time required to open the package increases, distracting the user from sexual intercourse.

This inconvenience reduces the potential advantages of condoms held by holders over traditional condoms.

Precise time-consuming manipulations are necessary for unpacking the condom using this device, and furthermore, the condom can be damaged by the blades.

It is clear that these steps require concentration and time.

The package is torn due to its stretching.

However, the process of putting on the condom requires using both hands.

All methods described above also distract the user from sexual intercourse.

However, breaking the film by penis is uncomfortable for the user.

Further, if the film is so thin that it can be pierced by penis, it means that the condom cannot be stored in real-life conditions, and can be easily damaged.

Therefore, the condom is to be stored in some other package e.g. a paper envelope, thus, package problem still remains.

As a result, the package is stretched and torn along the weakened line.

The aforementioned procedure is not convenient for the user and requires some skill to perform it using one hand.

Furthermore, holding a soft package and pressing it to the palm with the fingers while tearing the package by the thumb placed in the pouch also seems to be uncomfortable.

Further, the incorporation of a weakened line into a condom package does not contribute to safety: the package could be torn while stored in the pocket.

Extracting the package from the case makes the procedure of unpacking and putting on the condom more complicated and requires using the second hand.

It shall also be noted that a condom described in WO9846495 (Flock, 1998) is not provided with a holder that would allow the user to put the condom on using one hand, therefore Flock does not solve the problem of conveniently putting on a condom.

Further, the part of the frame to be held in hand small and difficult to grasp.

Furthermore, the design of the housing does not allow quick removal of the housing in transverse direction after putting the condom on, and this is also uncomfortable for the user who has to take the housing off by shifting it backwards along the whole length of the penis.
