Abstract
Abstract Herein presented is an intravaginal device to shield against contact with communicable infections and diseases. The device is an elastic container. The container functions similar to a condom but it can completely cover both the female and male genitalia. The device can contain lubricant jelly and its exterior is covered with lubrcant jelly. The elastic nature of the device allows it to conform to the surface shapes of the vagina and penis as the penis penetrates and enters into the vagina. The device is easy to use and completely disposable.
