Condom: The male condom is a sheath designed to cover the penis to prevent conception or infection. It is usually made of latex rubber but occasionally of lamb instestines or polyurethane. Some have spermicide or lubricants added, though neither has been proven to provide additional protection from contraception or sexually transmitted diseases. The female condom is a lubricated polyurethane sheath. The closed end has a flexible ring that is inserted into the vagina, while the open end stays outside and partially covers the labia.
