Apparatus and method to conceal genitalia

Abstract

An adhesive-backed piece material used to pull back and conceal the genitals of the wearer. The invention described here reduces the effort and discomfort involved in concealing the penis by providing a ready-made adhesive-backed piece of material possessing the proper size and shape as well as a non-adhesive padded section so that all the user has to do is peal and apply. The adhesive itself has anti-irritant proprieties and the padded section ensures that no adhesive need make contact with the sensitive skin of the penis. The piece of material does not need to be intricately folded or cut to measure in order to be worn. The material has a small surface area allowing it to be worn discreetly underneath other garments like intimate apparel. This all results in decreased effort, increased comfort, easier application, and a greater range of dressing options for the wearer.
