A "franger" is slang for a condom, a barrier contraceptive device.
While the origin of the term is somewhat debated, it's generally understood to be of British origin and used primarily in the UK and Australia. The term isn't universally known or used, and more common terms for condoms exist.
The function of a "franger," like any condom, is to prevent pregnancy and the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) by creating a physical barrier between bodily fluids during sexual activity.
