- Story Text: A Colombian company has launched a new female condom
that makes sex safer for lovers in a hurry.
A Colombian condom-maker has come up with a garment to
help time-pressed lovers have safe sex without even taking
their panties off.
The so-called Panty Condom, trumpeted as the first of its
kind, consists of lacy panties, in black or white, with an
opening in the crotch.
A thin resin membrane stuck to the inside of the underwear
stretches like a condom.
Bogota-based manufacturer Natural Sensation launched the
condom-with-a-difference at a Bogota hotel late Wednesday (May 12).
It is set to retail in Colombian supermarkets and
pharmacies for about $3.60, including two spare membranes.The
membranes are made of a resin called AT-10 rather than the
latex used in traditional condoms.
Inventor Max Abadi said the company aimed to sell 50,000
Panty Condoms this year -- equivalent to about three percent
of the national condom market.He is also eyeing what he hopes
will be lucrative export markets in Central and South America.
