Condom with male genital desensitizer lubricant
View Patent ↗A condom having a first lubricating composition containing a male genitalia desensitizing agent on the inside surface thereof and a second lubricating composition on the outside surface thereof. The first lubricating composition has a higher viscosity than the second lubricating composition so that the first lubricating composition remains on the inside surface of the condom during packaging, shipping, storage, and use.
1. A condom comprising:
a male genital engaging tubular sheath having an inner surface and an outer surface;
a first lubricating composition comprising an effective amount of at least one male genitalia desensitizing agent located on at least a portion of the inner surface of the tubular sheath, said first lubricating composition having a relatively high viscosity sufficient to maintain the first lubricating composition on the inner surface of the condom during packaging and use; and
a second lubricating composition having a lower viscosity than said first lubricant composition, said second lubricating composition being located on the outside surface of the tubular sheath, wherein the viscosity of said first lubricating composition is from about 10,000 cps to 75,000 cps, and the viscosity of the second lubricating composition is from about 500 cps to 20,000 cps.
2. The condom of claim 1 , wherein the viscosity of the first lubricating composition is from about 10,000 cps to 25,000 cps, and the viscosity of the second lubricating composition is from about 2,000 cps to 6,000 cps.
3. The condom of claim 1 , wherein the male genitalia desensitizing agent is benzocaine, butambin picrate, dibucaine, dibucaine hydrochloride, dimethisoquin hydrochloride, dyclonine hydrochloride, lidocaine, lidocaine hydrochloride, pramoxine hydrochloride, tetracaine hydrochloride, benzyl alcohol, camphor camphorated metacresol, juniper tar, menthol, phenol, phenolate sodium, resorcinol, diphenhydramine hydrochloride, tripelennamine hydrochloride, and combinations thereof.
4. The condom of claim 1 wherein the male genitalia desensitizing agent is benzocaine.
5. The condom of claim 4 , wherein the first lubricating composition comprises about 6% by weight of benzocaine.
6. The condom of claim 5 , wherein said first lubricating composition further includes at least one glycol.
7. The condom of claim 1 , wherein the first lubricating composition has the following formula:
Propylene Glycol
44.0% w/w;
Polyethylene Glycol 400
15.0% w/w;
Mixture of Glyceryl
35.0% w/w; and
Polymethacrylate, Propylene
Glycol and Water
Benzocaine USP
6.0% w/w.
8. The condom of claim 1 , wherein said second lubricant composition has the following formula:
Propylene Glycol
68.2% w/w;
Polyethylene Glycol 400
6.8% w/w;
Mixture of Glyceryl
25.0% w/w.
Polymethacrylate, Propylene
Glycol and Water
9. A condom comprising:
a male genital engaging tubular sheath having an inner surface and an outer surface;
a first lubricating composition comprising an effective amount of at least one male genitalia desensitizing agent located on at least a portion of the inner surface of the tubular sheath, the viscosity of said first lubricating composition ranging from 10,000 cps to 75,000 cps; and
a second lubricating composition having a viscosity ranging from 500 cps to 20,000 cps, said second lubricating composition being located on the outside surface of the tubular sheath, and being free of said desensitizing agent.
10. A method for packaging a condom that includes a first lubricating composition containing at least one male genital desensitizing agent on an inside surface thereof, said method comprising:
rolling a condom having a closed end and respective inside and outside surface to form a circular roll;
preparing said first lubricating composition having a viscosity of from about 10,000 cps to 75,000 cps;
placing said first lubricating composition onto the inside surface of the closaed end of said condom to from a lubricated condom;
preparing a second lubricating composition having no male genitalia desensitizing agent and having a viscosity of from about 500 cps to 20,000 cps;
placing the second lubricating composition on the outside surface of the condom; and
packaging said lubricated condom between two foil sheets to form a packaged condom.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the viscosity of said first lubricating composition is from about 10,000 to 25,000 cps.
12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the first lubricating composition contains a desensitiving effective amount of benzocaine as the desensitizing agent.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the frist lubricating composition comprises about 6% w/w of benzocaine.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the first lubricating composition further includes at least one glycol.
15. The method of claim 10 , wherein the first lubricating composition consists essentially of:
Propylene Glycol
44.0% w/w;
Polyethylene Glycol 400
15.0% w/w;
A Mixture of Glyceryl
35.0% w/w; and
Polymethacrylate Propylene
Glycol and Water
Benzocaine USP
6.0% w/w.
16. The method of claim 10 , wherein the second lubricating composition has a viscosity of from about 2,000 cps to 6,000 cps.
17. The method of claim 10 , wherein the second lubricanting composition consists essentially of:
Propylene Glycol
68.2% w/w;
Polyethylene Glycol 400
6.8% w/w;
A Mixture of Glyceryl
25.0% w/w.
Polymethoacrylate Propylene
