| Abstract: |
A unitary coital protective garment, comprising a groin covering panel formed of a flexible, resilient, liquid-impenterable material, and a penile sheath integrally formed with the groin covering panel, having a closed distal end, and formed of flexible, resilient, liquid-impenetrable material, integrally leak-tightly joined at its proximal end to the groin covering panel to enable penis insertion into the penile sheath, with the panel being circumferentially continuous around the proximal end of the sheath at its integral junction with the panel. Wrap-around, athletic supporter, apron, and panty-types of construction of the garment may be variously employed. The garment of the invention provides enhanced protection to the wearer and coital partner, and may be advantageous in reducing the risk of transmission of venereal and/or immunosuppressive diseases.

What is claimed is:
1. A coital protective garment of panty configuration, comprising:
- (a) a main body portion formed of flexible, resilient, liquid-impenetrable material, defining a waist opening and leg openings, and of a size and shape adapted to cover genital, upper thigh, and lower abdominal regions of a wearer, with said material of said main body portion being continuous between the waist opening and each said leg opening at respective sides of the main body portion;
- (b) a non-bellowed, generally smooth-surface tubular penile sheath integrally formed with the main body portion and having a closed distal end, formed of flexible, resilient, liquid-impenetrable material, and integrally leak-tightly joined at its proximal end to the main body portion to enable penis insertion into the penile sheath, with the main body portion being circumscribingly continuous around the flexible end of the sheath at its integral junction with the main body portion; and
- (c) a rip string joined to said main body portion at one of said sides thereof and extending interiorly upwardly therein from a said leg opening over said waist opening to an exterior free end, such that when the free end is manually grasped by a wearer of the garment and drawn downwardly, the rip string will sever the main body portion of the garment at said side thereof between said waist opening and the said leg opening, whereby the garment may be readily removed from the body of the wearer without manual contact by the wearer with exterior surfaces of the garment which have been subjected to contact with body and sexual fluids of an other coital partner when the garment is worn during sexual intercourse.
