Abstract: |
The present invention is an oral condom which protects the user from contracting sexually transmitted diseases while engaging in oral, vaginal or anal sex. The oral condom provides an improved protective mask which is capable of protecting the facial area of a user from undesirable exposure to infection carrying microorganisms. The oral condom is shaped like an oval with two lateral leg portions which are attached to two ear attachments respectively. The oral condom includes conformed portions for the lips so that the lips can be more easily moved in a natural way and an extended portion for the tongue so the tongue can move in a natural way and not be hindered by the oral condom.

- a. a generally disposable thin pliable oval-shaped membrane being conformed to the face and the lips of said user such that the thin membrane covers all areas of the face extending from approximately beneath the nostrils to below the chin and the jaw, and substantially all of the cheeks of said user;
- b. said thin pliable oval-shaped membrane having a central cone shaped protuberance extending outwardly and conformed to receive the tongue of said user therein such that the tongue can be moved more readily, a portion conformed to the lips of said user such that the lips can move, and two elongated lateral leg portions extending rearwardly toward the ears of said user;
- c. two detachable ear attachments each having a front end with a front portion and a rear end with an ear engagement portion for partially engaging over and behind the ears of said user, each front portion of said front end having two equally spaced longitudinal slots such that a respective one end of said two elongated lateral leg portions can be wrapped around the two longitudinal slots respectively; and
- d. means for adjusting the tension of said ear engagement portions engaging with said user's ears;
