ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises articles of manufacture including a disposable condom and personal container10comprising a condom compartment20enclosing one or more condoms immersed in either a personal lubricant or sexually stimulating lubricant removably adjoined to at least one lubricant compartment30. The compartments are constructed of a packaging material comprising properties that conduct heat and hermetically sealed. The condom compartment20comprises a seal25, 28, 29positioned on the top wall21that is removed or opened for the purpose of gaining access to the contents. The seal28, 29may be reattached or closed. The personal lubricant compartment30comprises a discharge element43through which the contents of the compartment are discharged by activating a removable dispenser that fits within the element43. Prior to discharging the contents, a protective seal45enclosed within the element43is ruptured. The contents of the compartments20, 30may be heated by a device in which the compartments are seated. The temperature of the contents may be monitored with the aid of a temperature sensing aid14. The container10comprises perforations12used to detach the compartments. The primary object of the invention is to encourage the use of condoms in sexual activities thereby reducing the spread of disease, including the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which may result in AIDS, and reducing the risk of pregnancy.
