Health Watch. The Female Condom is The New Fashion Staple!

Centuries ago, it was pure taboo for women to discuss their sexual desires or better yet, their sexual well-being. Today, however, in the modern day homage where women could rule the world, nothing is too risqué' for discussion, not even the latest fashion epidemic of donning the female condom. Yes, folks, you read it right here. According to Family Health International, a leader in research about the female condom, "We have tested the safety and efficacy of the female condom in protecting women from sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unintended pregnancies." Fabulous news! Most recently, scientists have recommended a new and improved design for the condom, studies that specifically test the "effectiveness of innovations in the female condom." Some of the benefits of this girl power fashion staple include the polyurethane and nitrile materials that makes up the condom, which is less likely to cause an allergic reaction than latex, (can be used with oil or water based lubricants) and they can be inserted up to 8 hours before intercourse for the busiest fashionistas. Although some can find the use of the condom difficult to use, there are several websites that offer step-by-step tutorials for proper use; a great avenue to spice up your boring old foreplay routines! Although the future of the female condom is not certain, the two manufactures who sponsor them hope to see the product grow significantly, thanks to 'independent women' worldwide.
