ABSTRACT:
A condom includes a condom tubular side wall having a first side wall end and a second side wall end, the tubular side wall being rolled outwardly and over itself from the second side wall end toward the first side wall end to form a side wall roll; a condom end wall sealingly joined to the tubular side wall at the first side wall end; and at least one strip of flexible material having a gripping tab end segment with a touch distinctive tactile surface on one side thereof, the at least one strip being wound within the side wall roll so that the gripping tab end segment and touch distinctive tactile surface of the at least one strip protrudes from the side wall roll. A method of assembling the condom includes the step of winding the at least one strip together with the tubular side wall outwardly and over the tubular side wall toward the side wall second end to form a side wall roll, so that the gripping tab end segment protrudes from the side wall roll. A method of applying the condom to a penis includes the steps of grasping the tab end segment, touching the touch distinctive tactile surface thereon, orienting the condom so that the tubular side wall roll is directed away from the user, placing the condom end wall against the distal end of the penis, and pulling the tab end segment laterally outwardly from the tubular side wall, so that the side wall roll unrolls over and advances longitudinally along the penis.
