dental dam
Latex mouth sheet
A dental dam is a thin sheet of latex or silicone used as a barrier during oral sex to prevent transmission of sexually transmitted infections.
Originally developed for dentistry to isolate teeth during procedures, the term now primarily refers to the sexual health device: Use a dental dam for safer oral-anal contact.
