Abstract
Abstract An element for receiving a condom is proposed, which receives the roll of rolled up condom in an annular hollow profile. The front end of the condom projects out of an annular clearance and is protected against unintentional damage by means of two protective disks. The element greatly facilitates handling and requires no additional packing.
