Abstract
A combination of a condom and a condom retainer ring structure has an elongated thin-walled tubular sheath of resilient material that is closed at one end and open at the other end. A first ring at the periphery of the opening surrounds the sheath. A second ring adjacent is attached to and adjacent the first ring, with a bridge joining the rings. In use, the first ring and sheath are worn on the shaft of the penis and the second ring encircles the scrotum to anchor the condom. The condom may be made by a method involving a dipping process and by which the two rings are formed individually or by cutting a thick bead rolled from latex coating on a mandrel.
