Scientists say they discovered the first unisex condom – How to use it by women and men

Scientists claim to have created the first unisex prophylactic in the world that can be worn by both men and women. And its price is expected to be 1.5 euros. Malaysian gynecologist John Tang Ing Chinh said he designed the Wondaleaf Unisex Condom to allow people to better control their sexual health regardless of gender or sexual orientation.

An adhesive strip is attached to the entire area between the thighs to hold the condom in place for women..

Men put on condoms like other condoms except they can use the same adhesive tape to make it waterproof and reduce the risk of falling during intercourse..

It is made of ultra-thin medical grade polyurethane, which is commonly used as a bandage for injuries and wounds but also in surgical gloves.

Doctors say it is more robust than traditional latex, so it is less likely to break.

“Once you wear it, you often do not realize it is there”

Wondaleaf released one educational video on how to use the contraceptive, which states that the glue does not hurt when peeled slowly.

It is currently only available in Malaysia, but the company has begun working to ensure it meets safety standards in other countries around the world, he says. Available for order from the company website.

Dr. Tang said: “Once you wear it, you often do not realize it is there. It is essentially a regular condom with an adhesive cover.

“It is a condom with an adhesive cover that attaches to the vagina or penis, while covering the adjacent area for extra protection.”

The glue is applied to only one side of the condom, he added, meaning it can be reversed and used by either sex.

Dr Tang said: “Based on the number of clinical trials we have conducted, I am quite optimistic that over time it will be a significant addition to the many contraceptive methods used to prevent involuntary pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.”

The company does not provide data on how effective the condom is.

The educational video suggests women who use contraception to shave their pubic area to avoid pain when they take it out.
