Abstract:

A preventive apron used for control of human sexual conduct, especially the mentally retarded, has a main apron section which has on its inside a large pocket for receiving a rectangular box-shaped shield having an open side. The apron has upper, middle, and lower tie straps tied behind the user so that the main apron section is located in front of the body to place the shield in front of the genital area to prevent the wearer from contacting his or her genitals. The open side of the shield has a flange about its wall edges which acts to distribute force against the body of the user and to allow the shield to slide for comfort. The upper horizontal shield wall has a curved recess and flange which conforms to the shape of the lower abdomen of the user for a comfortable fit. The lower straps for the apron main section extend around each of the thighs and prevents the apron and shield from being pulled up. The shield is of such length and width that it covers the entire genital area and will not drop between the legs to contact the genital area when the legs are spread to the extent allowed by the apron.
