I'm making my head hurt, trying to figure out what the ribbon is for. To what does one tie this?
I don't know, just don't pull it too tight.
The other two fellas?
"trying to figure out what the ribbon is for. To what does on tie this?"
If you look carefully, you see there are two ends to ribbon. You tie them together like the drawstring in a pair of beach pants, or sweat pants.
Ancient historical knowledge. Re soaking in milk. Many years ago in college, some of the guys liked the sheep gut condoms, but they were very expensive. Some medical student came up with the bright idea of rinsing them off after use. Putting water and a drop of iodine in a small glass and putting the rinsed condom in the water. Rinse off and use again. Saved a lot of money that way and I never heard of anyone getting pregnant. I don't know if those animal membrane condoms protect against the AIDS virus as viruses are smaller than sperm.
