A male condom for preventing unwanted pregnancy and protecting against communicable diseases transmitted by the exchange of bodily fluids includes a flaccid pouch made of a thin disposable film of fluid impervious material and a flaccid pouch harness. The flaccid pouch consists of an elongate, hollow, generally cylindrical body defining a longitudinal axis and having a first end and a second end. The first end is typically open, but the male condom may be provided with a thin breakable-seal entrance shield to temporarily close the first end. The male condom further includes at least one longitudinally extending, thin breakable-seal web formed on the exterior surface of the body and defining a hollow cavity for storing a liquid or gel lubricant and/or spermicide. The flaccid pouch harness includes an annular retaining ring made of a thicker disposable film of fluid impervious material and attached to the flaccid pouch adjacent the first end of the body. Preferably, the flaccid pouch harness further includes at least one radially extending application handle formed in a closed loop and depending generally outwardly from the exterior surface of the retaining ring. Preferably, the flaccid pouch harness also includes at least one longitudinally extending retaining band depending generally rearwardly from the retaining ring.
