Many men might enjoy having
an option for prevention of pregnancy or disease. Currently, men
have no choice for reproductive health and safety except male condoms,
which some men find uncomfortable or difficult to use. Women, although
they have many means to prevent pregnancy, have no protection that can
provide a full barrier against disease. And for some women, chemical
birth control becomes more risky as they grow older. A product such
as is often called
a "two for one" meaning that because it is a barrier to both disease and
pregnancy, two health benefits are received.
Although the first
to reach the market will be completely disposable, future models will feature
interchangeable parts. When
has been shown in public, many men express interest in the new sexy panty,
while most women are clearly delighted at the prospect of having such a
convenient, appealing and easy to operate means for optimizing reproductive
safety. Currently women purchase more than 60% of male condoms
in the USA.
The most feared sexually transmitted
disease is AIDS, but there are many other diseases which could be effectively
prevented by a barrier method such as ,
especially herpes, which is often located outside the area of a condoms
use. Herpes can be controlled by medication, but has no cure, and
can cause blindness to babies in the birth canal. Genital warts,
another disease frequently outside the condom barrier area, is now known
to be a precursor to cancers of the reproductive system. Some diseases,
like chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis, can make conception rates low,
or cause permanent infertility.
Clinics, health counselors, doctors
and nurses who would like to be placed on a mailing list can send letters
to the address below. No samples are available at this time, due
to federal regulation.
