Description

[0001]FEMALE BARRIER PROPHYLACTIC FOR SEXUAL RELATIONS Description Object of the invention The present invention relates to a female prophylactic, especially designed to constitute a barrier that prevents the transmission of infections and / or sexual diseases of all kinds. The device is applicable both to prevent infections during oral sex, as well as any other sexual practice that does not involve penetration. Background of the invention In the field of practical application of the invention, erotic garments are known in the form of latex panties that allow the female genital area to be covered and that constitute a barrier that prevents the transmission of infections and / or sexual diseases.However, these types of devices cover a large area of ​​the woman's body, so they are not always attractive, depending on the user's preferences. In addition, they can be uncomfortable and / or generate excessive heat due to the lack of breathability of the material itself. They can even be ineffective for this purpose, due to the fluids that can mix with excessive sweating and leak out. On the other hand, there are well-known devices called "dental barriers," which consist of a small sheet of latex or a compatible material that serves the same purpose. It is placed just above the vulva and covers it, creating a barrier against the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. Obviously, this solution requires holding the sheet in your hands during use, making it unstable and, consequently, unsafe.Explanation of the invention The proposed female barrier prophylactic for sexual relations fully satisfactorily resolves the aforementioned problem, based on a simple but extremely effective solution, which makes it much safer, more stable, comfortable and economical. To this end, and more specifically, the device of the invention is made from a sheet of latex or other material with similar characteristics that constitutes a barrier against sexually transmitted diseases, which adapts to the natural shape of the vulva and covers it and the anal area together. Said sheet is secured to the user's hip by means of cords of the same material, which emerge from the ends of the sheet, and which are hooked together in the hip area by means of a button-eye system in which said cords are respectively finished.This system allows the device to be adapted to various sizes if it includes more than one eyelet. It can also be manufactured in different sizes, ensuring a perfect fit for each user and easy removal without fear of breaking it. This mechanism can also be used to release tension if necessary, whether for comfort or in an emergency. In this sense, these fastening methods allow the product to be put on and taken off much more quickly and comfortably than conventional latex panties. They also provide more protection and peace of mind than a dental dam, as they are securely fastened and prevent accidental removal. They also provide a larger breathable surface area, resulting in greater comfort and safety. Finally, it should be noted that, since it uses less material than conventional latex panties, the device is cheaper to produce and, consequently, has a much more competitive price on the market.Brief description of the drawings In order to complement the description that follows and in order to help better understand the characteristics of the invention, in accordance with a preferred example of practical embodiment thereof, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description, in which, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented: Figure 1.- Shows a front perspective view of a female barrier prophylactic for sexual relations made in accordance with the object of the present invention, ready for use.
