Protective device for condoms

A portable receptacle usable in a bill fold in combination with a flexible condom package housing a condom,

• said condom package having a flat central body portion of predetermined thickness with the sides thereof tapering at an angle to a perimeter having edges with a thickness less than said predetermined thickness, and
• said portable receptacle comprising
• (a) a first planar surface having a width above the same as the width of said condom package;
• (b) a second surface;
• (c) a plurality of side wall portions joined to said first surface and converging from said first surface to said second surface at an angle approximately equal to said taper angle of said condom package thereby forming a pair of parallel guides near the juncture of said first surface and said side wall portions for the guiding of said perimeter edges of said condom package when said condom package is inserted into said container,
• said second surface and side wall portions thereof forming a concavity facing said first surface approximating the configuration of one side of the condom package where the vertical distance from the top of the concavity to said first surface is about the same as the predetermined thickness of said condom package;
• and
• (d) a bottom wall downwardly inclined from said first surface to said second surface,
• said first surface, second surface, side wall portions and bottom wall collectively defining said receptacle with an open end opposite said bottom wall, said condom package when inserted into said open end along said guides having abutting contact of at least a portion of the surface area of said central portion with said second surface and having abutting contact of said perimeter edges of said condom package with said side wall portions at about the juncture of said side wall portions with said first surface thereby flexing said condom package.
