Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to personal care products.

Background Art

[0002] Various personal care products (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "devices") are used to stimulate male and female genitals. Such personal care products are designed for individual use or personal pleasure, but many male-female couples are often enthusiastic about using these personal care products together. In this regard, it is necessary for couples not to be negligent because such personal care products are purely for stimulation and have no contraceptive properties.

[0003] The market for such devices is saturated with devices for stimulating female genitals, while on the other hand, the options for such personal care products for men are limited. Furthermore, most of the personal care products that can be used by men are mechanized or automated. Male users are always worried that there may be risks associated with inserting their penis into such mechanized / automated devices. Furthermore, some of these devices are reusable, and such devices are undesirable at least from a hygienic point of view. It is well known that ejaculation occurs as a result of masturbation. Therefore, whether a man uses a device or masturbates by hand, in either case, it is necessary to spend a considerable amount of time cleaning it at any time. The same problem is faced when using a contraceptive or personal device, such as a condom. After using a condom, the condom collects semen, but the semen tends to adhere to the head (glans) and shaft (corpus cavernosum, commonly referred to as the "rod") of the penis, so the user needs to clean up (wipe off the semen).

[0004] Furthermore, certain men also face the problem of dried or dead skin adhering to their penis, which needs to be addressed, at least from a hygienic standpoint. It has been found that men are more likely to hesitate to seek treatment for penis-related problems, particularly, for example, dried or dead skin. Given the sensitivity of the skin on the penis, generally speaking, men do not want to use any specific-purpose lotion or device for exfoliation, as such use may result in itching or other serious problems. Therefore, there is a need for a device that can be used to exfoliate the skin without causing any harm to the penis. [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0005] Taking the above into consideration, there is a need for a device that can at least solve the aforementioned problems. [Means for solving the problem]

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0021] The present invention relates to a male personal care product or tool that stimulates the penis and / or helps create a physical barrier during sex between the user and a partner. The personal care product can also be used to clean the shaft of the penis or perform exfoliation on the skin thereof.

[0022] FIG. 1 shows a personal care product 100 that stimulates the penis according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the personal care product has a soft tubular body 110 and an absorption region 120. The soft tubular body allows the personal care product to be worn and fitted onto the user's penis, and the absorption region helps wipe off or drop as dirt the body fluid discharged or secreted on or around the penis. In this regard, the dimensions and diameter of this tubular body can vary to fit the penis.

[0023] The soft tubular body extends from an open end 100A to a closed end 100B. The soft tubular body is configured to at least partially cover the penis, the inner surface is configured to be in contact with the penis, the open end is configured to be positioned covering the shaft of the penis, and the closed end is configured to be positioned covering the head of the penis.

[0024] Furthermore, the flexible tubular body has an inner surface and an outer surface. In one embodiment of the present invention, the absorbent area is provided on the inner surface of the flexible tubular body, and when the user wears the personal care product, the absorbent area is positioned to rest against the shaft of the penis. As shown in the figure, the absorbent area is preferably provided adjacent to the open end of the flexible tubular body. In one embodiment, the absorbent area may be positioned adjacent to the central portion of the flexible tubular body. In another embodiment, the absorbent area may be positioned adjacent to the closed end of the flexible tubular body.

[0025] In one embodiment, the inner surface of the soft tubular body is preferably coated with a lubricant or lubricating liquid to lubricate the penis. In this regard, the absorbent area is dry and no lubricant is applied to this absorbent area.

[0026] The absorbent region has an absorbent material bonded to the inner surface of a flexible tubular body. The absorbent material is bonded to the inner surface by adhesive. Suitable adhesives for this purpose are described below.

[0027] In another embodiment, the absorbent material is bonded to the inner surface by heat bonding, i.e., heat sealing. In this regard, the absorbent material and / or the flexible tubular body forming material are preferably heated sufficiently or close to their melting points for bonding / fusion to occur. The selection of a suitable temperature range for this purpose depends on the type of absorbent material and / or the flexible tubular body forming material.

[0028] Absorbent regions / materials can be arranged on the inner surface in different forms. For example, an absorbent region may have a sheet-like or tubular absorbent material, or it may have multiple segments or strips of absorbent material. In this regard, variations in shape and structure of different forms are well within the scope of the present invention.

[0029] In one embodiment, various forms of the absorbent material take on the shape of the flexible tubular body when bonded to it. In another embodiment, various forms of the absorbent material may have a tubular structure that is easily applied to the inner surface of the flexible tubular body.

[0030] As shown in Figure 2, the absorbent material 120a has a sheet-like absorbent material. The sheet is wrapped around the inner surface of the flexible tubular body. This sheet is bonded to the inner surface of the flexible tubular body to form a layer of absorbent material.

[0031] The absorbent region 120a is also advantageous in the manufacture of personal care products. For example, a sheet-like absorbent material can be placed on a conveyor belt or wheel, so that the sheet comes into contact with a mandrel pre-loaded with a flexible tubular body-forming material. The sheet is then bonded to the inner surface with an adhesive, which is either applied to the sheet itself or to the mandrel.

[0032] In one embodiment, the absorbent area 120b has a tubular absorbent material with a smaller diameter than the personal care product. This prevents the personal care product from sliding along it on the penis after ejaculation. In this manner, the tubular absorbent material folds on the soft tubular body to form a barrier, thereby preventing the personal care product from slipping off. In one embodiment, the tubular absorbent material folds itself to increase its thickness and enhance its grip on the penis, thereby effectively wiping away any semen. The tubular absorbent material further prevents lubricant from escaping from the inside and prevents semen from leaking out of the soft tubular body. Furthermore, even when the penis is flaccid, the tubular absorbent material helps the personal care product grip the flaccid and retracted penis. In addition, the tubular absorbent material provides a good fit on the shaft of the penis, thereby improving user comfort and allowing for cleaning of the shaft of the penis or removal of skin.

[0033] The absorbent region 120b is also advantageous in terms of manufacturing personal care products. For example, a tubular absorbent material can be placed on a hollow solid tube and fitted into a mandrel pre-loaded with a flexible tubular body forming material. The tubular absorbent material is then slid along the mandrel and bonded using an appropriate binder or heating method. In one embodiment, the tubular absorbent material is bonded to the inside by joining both open ends of the tubular absorbent material so that the middle section of the tubular absorbent material remains floating. This creates numerous folds in the tubular absorbent material, each fold overlapping with the others. The numerous folds help to provide a good grip on the penis.

[0034] Furthermore, the absorbent region 120c has multiple segments arranged in a random shape, and these segments are located adjacent to one another. The segments shown are circular, but segments of different shapes can be embedded. Furthermore, the dimensions and thickness of the segments can be appropriately selected, and therefore the present invention is not limited thereto. Each segment is embedded in the inner surface of the flexible tubular body with an adhesive. The segments in the shown configuration result in a patterned surface. Advantageously, the multiple segments allow thin absorbent material to be used in personal care products. In this manner, the multiple segments are not elastic; instead, their properties depend on the properties of the flexible tubular body forming material.

[0035] Advantageously, personal care products can be manufactured in which the absorbent region 120c is provided on the inner surface of a flexible tubular body. For example, it is preferable that a plurality of tiny ball-shaped segments be placed on a sliding container adjacent to a mandrel pre-loaded with a flexible tubular body forming material. The mandrel rotates at a sufficient speed, during which the plurality of segments fall onto the rolling mandrel. In one embodiment, it is preferable that an adhesive be applied to the mandrel before providing the plurality of segments. In another embodiment, the adhesive may be applied after the plurality of segments have been provided on the mandrel.

[0036] An absorbent region 120d comprising multiple strips is also illustrated. The illustrated strips are provided in a contact configuration. The multiple strips are wrapped around the inner surface of the flexible tubular body. The absorbent region 120d comprising multiple strips extending parallel to the longitudinal direction of the personal care product allows the use of a thin absorbent material. In this manner, the multiple strips are not elastic; instead, their performance depends on the properties of the material forming the flexible tubular body.

[0037] Advantageously, personal care products can be manufactured in which the absorbent region 120d is provided on the inner surface of the flexible tubular body. For example, multiple strips may be placed on a conveyor belt extending beneath a mandrel pre-loaded with the flexible tubular body forming material. The mandrel is rotated at a speed sufficient to allow the multiple strips to conform to the mandrel over a sufficient period of time. In one embodiment, an adhesive is applied to the mandrel, and then the multiple strips are attached to the mandrel. In another embodiment, the adhesive may be applied after the multiple strips have been attached to the mandrel.

[0038] Furthermore, an absorbent region 120e with multiple strips can be provided in a contact configuration. Each strip is embedded in the inner surface of the flexible tubular body with adhesive. By providing the absorbent region 120e with multiple strips extending parallel to the periphery of the personal care product, a quick and efficient manufacturing procedure for personal care products is possible.

[0039] It is advantageous that the absorbent region 120e can be provided on the inner surface of the flexible tubular body. The absorbent material with multiple strips is selected in such a way that it imparts elasticity to the flexible tubular body, thereby facilitating easy attachment to the shaft of the penis. Multiple strips can be obtained from a rotating spindle. A mandrel, pre-coated with the flexible tubular body forming material and rotating at a speed sufficient to allow for easy attachment of multiple strips, is positioned adjacent to the rotating spindle. Next, the multiple strips from the rotating spindle are attached to the rotating mandrel. In one embodiment, an adhesive is applied to the mandrel, and then the multiple strips are attached to this mandrel. In another embodiment, the adhesive is applied after the multiple strips have been attached to the mandrel.

[0040] Furthermore, as shown in the figure, the absorbent areas 120f and 120g, each having multiple strips, can be arranged in an overlapping configuration. Because multiple strips are provided, the personal care product can effectively and efficiently clean the shaft of the penis by allowing semen to come into contact with the innermost or first strip before all strips become available. As a variation, the absorbent areas, each having multiple strips, can be arranged in a configuration with spacing between them.

[0041] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the absorbent region may have one or more elastic members together with the absorbent material. For example, absorbent regions 120g, 120h, and 120i have one or more elastic members R. The elastic members are preferably strips or rings spaced apart from each other as shown in the figure to provide an additional grip to the soft tubular body. In one embodiment, the elastic material may be rubber and similar elastomers. Absorbent region 120g allows the gapped mesh structure with the absorbent material to absorb semen while the personal care product is being removed. Absorbent region 120h, together with the elastic material, provides a good grip to the shaft. Furthermore, the elastic material provided in the absorbent region also prevents semen from dripping down toward the open end. Also, while the personal care product is being removed, the elastic member pushes the semen toward the closed end of the soft tubular body. For example, the first strip near the closed end prevents semen and lubricant from dripping downward and also pushes the semen and lubricant toward the closed end while the personal care product is being removed. The second strip, closer to the opening end, remains dry or smooth because the first strip absorbs most of the semen and lubricant. The second strip is used to wipe away any remaining semen and lubricant from the shaft of the penis when removing the personal care product.

[0042] In one embodiment, the inner surface and / or absorbent material of the soft tubular body has a patterned surface. The patterned surface may have ribs, studs, dots, protrusions, or a combination thereof. In one embodiment, the protrusions may be of any shape or any geometric shape, for example, a rhombic, square, rhombus, polygon, or a combination thereof. The patterned surface may enhance stimulation and, in this case, can also be used to exfoliate any dried or dead skin that may have formed on the penis.

[0043] Figure 3 shows a personal care product 200 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The personal care product is substantially the same as the personal care product described above, but further comprises at least one capsule T within a flexible tubular body. The capsule has a shell that holds oil or lubricant. The capsule can be crushed / squeezed, and as a result when the capsule is crushed / squeezed, the shell breaks / cracking / crushing, thereby allowing the lubricant to flow out of the shell / capsule within the flexible tubular body. Furthermore, the capsule is preferably located near the closed end, so that when used, the capsule releases lubricant, which drips onto the penis. The lubricant further enhances the user's comfort. The capsule can be attached to the flexible tubular body by adhesive.

[0044] Furthermore, personal care product 300 is shown in Figures 4a and 4b. This personal care product is substantially the same as the personal care product described above, but has a mesh or net M. The mesh or net is provided adjacent to the closed end to prevent the capsule from moving. However, the mesh / net allows the capsule's lubricant to flow through it, thereby preventing the capsule's shell from moving along the shaft, and thus avoiding discomfort to the user.

[0045] Figure 5 shows a personal care product 400 according to one embodiment of the present invention. This personal care product is substantially the same as the personal care product described above, but has a seal 430 for partitioning a flexible tubular body. The seal is provided along the inner surface of the flexible tubular body. In one embodiment, the seal is provided in the central part of the flexible tubular body or near the closed end. In another embodiment, the seal is a removable seal made of a material selected from latex, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol film or paste, and wax. As a result of the seal, the inner walls of the flexible tubular body stick together because a lubricant is present on the inner surface. As a result, the flexible tubular body becomes flat, which allows for easy packaging of the personal care product and prevents the lubricant from leaking out. However, the inner walls can be separated from each other once the seal is broken, for example, by the user pulling apart the open end of the personal care product.

[0046] Figure 6 shows a personal care product 500 for acting as a physical barrier between the user and their partner during sex according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the personal care product has a flexible tubular body 510 and an absorbent area 520. The flexible tubular body allows the personal care product to be worn and fitted onto the user's penis, and the absorbent area helps to wipe / clean up bodily fluids released / secreted on or around the penis. In this regard, the dimensions and diameter of the tubular body may vary to fit the penis.

[0047] The flexible tubular body extends from an open end 500A to a closed end 500B. The flexible tubular body is configured to at least partially cover the penis, with its inner surface configured to be in contact with the penis, the open end configured to cover the shaft of the penis, and the closed end configured to cover the head of the penis.

[0048] Furthermore, the flexible tubular body has an inner surface and an outer surface. In one embodiment of the present invention, the absorbent area is provided on the inner surface of the flexible tubular body, and when the user wears the personal care product, the absorbent area is positioned to come into contact with the shaft of the penis. As shown in the figure, the absorbent area may be provided adjacent to the open end of the flexible tubular body, or it may be positioned adjacent to the central portion of the flexible tubular body.

[0049] The absorbent region has an absorbent material bonded to the inner surface of a flexible tubular body. The absorbent material is bonded to the inner surface by adhesive. Suitable adhesives for this purpose are described below.

[0050] In another embodiment, the absorbent material is bonded to the inner surface by heat bonding, i.e., heat sealing. In this regard, the absorbent material and / or the flexible tubular body forming material are preferably heated sufficiently or close to their melting points for bonding / fusion to occur. The selection of a suitable temperature range for this purpose depends on the type of absorbent material and / or the flexible tubular body forming material.

[0051] Absorbent regions / materials can be arranged on the inner surface in different forms from one another. For example, an absorbent region may have a sheet-like or tubular absorbent material, or it may have multiple segments or strips of absorbent material.

[0052] In one embodiment, various forms of the absorbent material take on the shape of the flexible tubular body when bonded to it. In another embodiment, various forms of the absorbent material may have a tubular structure that is easily applied to the inner surface of the flexible tubular body.

[0053] As shown in Figure 7, the absorbent material 520a has a sheet-like absorbent material. The sheet is wrapped around the inner surface of the flexible tubular body. This sheet is bonded to the inner surface of the flexible tubular body to form a layer of absorbent material.

[0054] The absorbent region 520a is also advantageous in the manufacture of personal care products. For example, a sheet-like absorbent material can be placed on a conveyor belt or wheel, so that the sheet comes into contact with a mandrel pre-loaded with a flexible tubular body-forming material. The sheet is then bonded to the inner surface with an adhesive that is applied to the sheet itself or to the mandrel.

[0055] In one embodiment, the absorbent area 520b has a tubular absorbent material with a smaller diameter than the personal care product. This prevents the personal care product from sliding along it on the penis after ejaculation. In this manner, the tubular absorbent material folds on the soft tubular body to form a barrier, thereby preventing the personal care product from slipping off. In one embodiment, the tubular absorbent material folds itself to increase its thickness and enhance its grip on the penis, thereby effectively wiping away any semen. The tubular absorbent material further prevents lubricant from escaping from the inside and prevents semen from leaking out of the soft tubular body. Furthermore, even when the penis is flaccid, the tubular absorbent material helps the personal care product grip the flaccid and retracted penis. In addition, the tubular absorbent material provides a good fit on the shaft of the penis, thereby improving user comfort and allowing for cleaning of the shaft of the penis or removal of skin.

[0056] Absorbent region 520b is also advantageous in terms of manufacturing personal care products. For example, a tubular absorbent material can be placed on a hollow solid tube and fitted into a mandrel pre-loaded with a flexible tubular body forming material. The tubular absorbent material is then slid along the mandrel and bonded using an appropriate binder or heating method. In one embodiment, the tubular absorbent material is bonded to the inside by joining both open ends of the tubular absorbent material so that the middle section of the tubular absorbent material remains floating. This creates numerous folds in the tubular absorbent material, each fold overlapping with the others. The numerous folds help to provide a good grip on the penis.

[0057] Furthermore, the absorbent region 520c has multiple segments arranged in a random shape, and these segments are located adjacent to one another. The segments shown are circular, but segments of different shapes can be embedded. Furthermore, the dimensions and thickness of the segments can be appropriately selected, and therefore the present invention is not limited thereto. Each segment is embedded in the inner surface of the flexible tubular body with an adhesive. The segments in the shown configuration result in a patterned surface. Advantageously, the multiple segments allow thin absorbent material to be used in personal care products. In this manner, the multiple segments are not elastic; instead, their properties depend on the properties of the flexible tubular body forming material.

[0058] Advantageously, personal care products can be manufactured in which the absorbent region 520c is provided on the inner surface of a flexible tubular body. For example, it is preferable that multiple small ball-shaped segments be placed on a sliding container adjacent to a mandrel pre-loaded with a flexible tubular body forming material. The mandrel rotates at a sufficient speed, during which the multiple segments fall onto the rolling mandrel. In one embodiment, it is preferable that an adhesive be applied to the mandrel before providing the multiple segments. In another embodiment, the adhesive may be applied after the multiple segments have been provided on the mandrel.

[0059] An absorbent region 520d comprising multiple strips is also illustrated. The illustrated strips are provided in a contact configuration. Multiple strips are wrapped around the inner surface of a flexible tubular body. The absorbent region 520d comprising multiple strips extending parallel to the longitudinal direction of the personal care product allows the use of a thin absorbent material. In this manner, the multiple segments are not elastic; instead, these segments depend on the properties of the material forming the flexible tubular body.

[0060] Advantageously, personal care products can be manufactured in which the absorbent area 520d is provided on the inner surface of the flexible tubular body. For example, multiple strips may be placed on a conveyor belt extending beneath a mandrel pre-loaded with the flexible tubular body forming material. The mandrel is rotated at a speed sufficient to allow the multiple strips to conform to the mandrel over a sufficient period of time. In one embodiment, an adhesive is applied to the mandrel, and then the multiple strips are attached to the mandrel. In another embodiment, the adhesive may be applied after the multiple strips have been attached to the mandrel.

[0061] Furthermore, an absorbent region 520e with multiple strips can be provided in a contact configuration. Each strip is embedded in the inner surface of the flexible tubular body with adhesive. By providing the absorbent region 520e with multiple strips extending parallel to the periphery of the personal care product, a quick and efficient manufacturing procedure for personal care products is possible.

[0062] It is advantageous that the absorbent region 520e can be provided on the inner surface of the flexible tubular body. The absorbent material with multiple strips is selected in such a way that it imparts elasticity to the flexible tubular body, thereby facilitating easy attachment to the shaft of the penis. Multiple strips can be obtained from a rotating spindle. A mandrel, pre-coated with the flexible tubular body forming material and rotating at a speed sufficient to allow for easy attachment of multiple strips, is positioned adjacent to the rotating spindle. Next, the multiple strips from the rotating spindle are attached to the rotating mandrel. In one embodiment, an adhesive is applied to the mandrel, and then the multiple strips are attached to this mandrel. In another embodiment, the adhesive is applied after the multiple strips have been attached to the mandrel.

[0063] Furthermore, as shown in the figure, the absorbent areas 520f, 520g, each having multiple strips, can be arranged in an overlapping configuration. Because multiple strips are provided, the personal care product can effectively and efficiently clean the shaft of the penis by allowing semen to come into contact with the innermost or first strip before all strips become available. As a variation, the absorbent areas, each having multiple strips, can be arranged in a configuration with spacing between them.

[0064] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the absorbent region may have one or more elastic members together with the absorbent material. For example, absorbent regions 520g, 520h, and 520i have one or more elastic members R. The elastic members are preferably strips or rings spaced apart from each other as shown in the figure to provide an additional grip to the soft tubular body. In one embodiment, the elastic material may be rubber and similar elastomers. Absorbent region 520g can create a mesh-like structure, thereby creating a genital gap located at the rear to absorb semen while the personal care product is removed. Absorbent region 520h, together with the elastic material, provides a good grip to the shaft. Absorbent region 520i, with multiple strips and one or more elastic members, performs a dual function. The first strip near the closed end prevents semen and lubricant from leaking out of the soft tubular body, and in fact pushes the semen and lubricant toward the closed end. The second strip near the opening remains dry or smooth because the first strip absorbs most of the semen and lubricant. The second strip is used to wipe away any remaining semen and lubricant from the shaft of the penis while removing personal care products.

[0065] Furthermore, the outer surface of the soft tubular body has a lubricating effect and / or a patterned surface. The lubricating effect facilitates sex, and the patterned surface stimulates the partner. The patterned surface may have ribs, studs, dots, protrusions, or a combination thereof. The patterned surface helps stimulate the vagina during sex. In one embodiment, the protrusions may be of any shape or any geometric shape, for example, a rhombic, square, rhombus, polygon, or a combination thereof.

[0066] In the embodiments described above, the open end of the personal care product further comprises integrated beads (rolled rings) 140, 540. The integrated beads are extensions of the soft tubular body for pressing and holding the personal care product on the shaft of the penis.

[0067] Figure 9 is a perspective view of a personal care product 100,500 according to one embodiment of the present invention. As described above, the personal care product can be used as a tool to assist in penile stimulation or as a barrier between the user and the user's partner to prevent infection or unexpected and undesirable consequences. For use, the personal care product 100,500 is placed over the penis or penis P as shown in Figure 10. The soft tubular body allows the personal care product to be easily attached to the penis, thereby conforming to the shape of the penis. Once attached to the penis, only stimulation or piston-like movements of the penis are required. When the user is using the personal care product to stimulate the penis themselves, the lubricant on the inside or the lubricant released from the capsule improves the user's comfort, while the absorbent material prevents the lubricant from leaking out of the soft tubular body. When the user ejaculates from stimulation, the soft tubular body collects the semen E as shown in Figure 10, thereby preventing leakage into the surrounding area and keeping the semen inside the soft tubular body. When a user uses a personal care product as a condom with their partner, the personal care product acts as a physical barrier between the user and their partner, thereby preventing infection or unexpected and undesirable consequences. After ejaculation, the user must remove the tubular component, during which time the absorbent material should come into contact with various parts of the penis itself, or the absorbent material should be slightly manipulated by the user's hand to clean the penis. The advantages of the personal care product are shown herein in that semen is collected within the personal care product, and the user can wipe their genitals with the absorbent material as they remove / extract their genitals from the personal care product.

[0068] In the embodiments described above, the flexible tubular body is made of latex, rubber, urethane polymer, etc. Furthermore, the absorbent material is a liquid absorbent material, which is preferably selected from a material mainly composed of natural or synthetic fibers or a porous material. The fibers may be woven fabric or elastic fabric material. In one embodiment, the absorbent material is preferably selected so that the absorbent area is flexible. The absorbent material may further contain a solvent to facilitate cleaning. In one embodiment, the absorbent material has a patterned surface. The patterned surface may be any random pattern as needed. The presence of such a pattern allows bodily fluids to be absorbed and prevents dripping or leakage, which can occur if there is no pattern or if the structure consists of several straight lines.

[0069] Furthermore, in the embodiments described herein, the adhesive is selected from liquid latex, polyurethane glue, polyvinyl chloride glue, and neoprene glue. In another embodiment, the adhesive is preferably selected from liquid latex, polyurethane glue, polyvinyl chloride glue, polychloroprene glue, nyritic glue, and neoprene glue. Adhesives such as perchlorovinyl, phenol-formaldehyde, and epoxy in an organic solvent can also be used as suitable binders.

[0070] Figure 8 shows a packaged form of personal care product. In this packaged form, the absorbent area is rolled up, and the soft tubular body is wrapped around the rolled absorbent area, thereby reducing the personal care product to a compact size, for the purpose of packaging and / or storing the personal care product. For use, the tubular body should be unfolded, and it is preferable to wrap the tubular body at least partially over the penis, as shown in Figure 10, and after ejaculation, it is preferable to wrap it further so that the absorbent material near the open end is visible.

[0071] In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing personal care products. This method begins by placing an absorbent material around a mandrel. The mandrel is made of glass, porcelain, or ceramic and extends from a first end to a second end. In one embodiment of the present invention, the mandrel has a bulbous or any other shape at the second end. When the absorbent material is wound around the mandrel adjacent to the first end, the absorbent material takes the shape of a tube with an open end. After the absorbent material is wound around the mandrel, an adhesive is applied to the absorbent material, and the absorbent material is bonded to the inner surface of a flexible tubular body. In this regard, the flexible tubular body may be pre-formed, or the flexible material forming the flexible tubular body may be fused to the absorbent material by immersing the mandrel in a bath containing a viscous flexible material that forms the flexible tubular body, or by spraying the flexible material around the mandrel. Thereafter, the flexible material is allowed to dry and harden. The personal care product thus manufactured has a tubular body made of absorbent material and a bulbous, flexible tubular body. In one embodiment of the present invention, the mandrel is covered with a lubricant, thereby transferring the lubricant to the inside of the flexible material formed on the mandrel. Thus, the inside of the flexible material is lubricated. In a modified embodiment, the lubricant may be applied to the outer surface of the flexible tubular body after it has dried.

[0072] Advantageously, the present invention provides personal care products that further have features for stimulating, assisting in contraception, and also for cleanup. In addition to providing a pleasant user experience, personal care products also help prevent sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and unwanted pregnancies. Personal care products can also be used to clean or exfoliate the shaft of the penis.

[0073] The above description of the present invention is provided solely for illustrative purposes and is not intended to limit the invention. Modifications of the embodiments disclosed in an embodiment of the spirit and scope of the invention will be conceivable to those skilled in the art, and the present invention should be understood to have all features that fall within the scope of the invention.
