Disposable Wipe for Hygienic Condom Removal and Penis Cleaning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The disposal and cleaning of used condoms pose hygienic and practical challenges due to their single-use nature and the presence of bodily fluids, as they are often flushed down toilets or wrapped in unavailable materials, leaving residual ejaculate on the penis.
Innovation Solution
A wipe and bag kit featuring a flexible, cylindrical wipe with open corners, pre-wetted with a cleaning agent, designed to receive and remove a condom while cleaning the penis, and a resealable bag for discreet disposal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a condom is removed and flushed down the toilet or wrapped in newspaper/facial tissue, then disposal is achieved, but hygienic challenges remain due to residual bodily fluids on the penis
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the condom removal function and the penis cleaning function into a single integrated wipe product. The wipe is designed to simultaneously receive the condom during removal and clean the penis of residual fluids, eliminating the need for separate disposal and cleaning steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The wipe serves multiple functions: it acts as a barrier during condom removal, contains cleaning agents to remove bodily fluids, provides structural support for easy disposal, and offers a contained environment for hygienic waste management. This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction by addressing both disposal ease and hygienic cleanliness in one product.
2Adaptability or versatility
If common materials like newspaper or facial tissue are used to wrap the condom, then disposal is possible, but these materials are often not available or easily accessible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a disposable wipe that is pre-packaged and designed for single-use. This eliminates the need for reusable materials like newspaper or facial tissue that require prior availability. The disposable nature ensures the solution is always accessible when needed, resolving the availability contradiction.
Solution Approach 2:
The wipe is pre-packaged with cleaning agents and disposal instructions before use. This preliminary preparation ensures that when the condom needs to be disposed of, the necessary materials and instructions are already in place, eliminating the need to search for or prepare disposal materials at the moment of need.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If the penis is washed or wiped down after condom removal, then cleaning is achieved, but this creates more impracticalities for sexual encounters
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the condom removal action with the penis cleaning action into a single simultaneous operation. The wipe is designed to clean the penis during the removal process itself, eliminating the need for separate post-removal washing or wiping steps that would add impracticality to the experience.
