- During the pandemic, unwanted pregnancies increased by 12% in women between the ages of 15 and 49 in Mexico.
- The correct and consistent use of condoms reduces the risk of sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhea, chlamydia and trichomoniasis.
- Only in 2021 the world’s first unisex condom was presented.
Sexual health is an essential part for any person, although many tend to avoid the subject due to prejudice or shame. In the end, it is the basis of family planning and, in the same way that occurs with other areas, new features appear constantly. Such is the case of the one who has been appointed as the first condom of the future.
One of the most relevant aspects for which this issue must be addressed is the growth of unwanted pregnancies in our country. According to the National Population Council (Conapo) they increased 12 percent in women between the ages of 15 and 49 during the 2020 and 2021 lockdowns.
Benefits of condoms
For their part, condoms not only help prevent unplanned conceptions but are also an effective method against sexually transmitted infections. Condoms of this type, when used consistently and correctly, they reduce the risk of diseases such as gonorrhea, chlamydia and trichomoniasis.
Laboratory studies have shown that condoms offer an essentially impermeable barrier to particle-sized pathogens of sexually transmitted infections.
All of the above leads to Prudence, a fairly young company because it started in 2003 with the aim of promoting safe sexual practice. For this purpose, it has created condoms that not only fulfill the main objective but also offer other benefits such as aroma and flavor to promote entertainment and fun.
As part of its variety, it has now presented the UNIQ line that stands out for being considered the condom of the future. Everything starts from its characteristics with which it makes a difference with respect to other options.
Ideal for people allergic to latex
In the first instance, it stands out because it is made with AT10 synthetic resin (polyethylene) and not with latex like most. For this reason it is perfect for people who suffer from allergies to polymers. Now they no longer have an excuse not to enjoy pleasure in a safe way.
Similarly, this condom has a unique technology that translates into a thinness of 0.08 millimeters. With this, the feeling in men is greater as well as the security it provides.
Another totally new feature is that this condom has straps on the sides, which allows its placement to be very simple but full of pleasure.
For its part, the Prudence UNIQ condom is considered the condom of the future because it won the Bill Gates award for innovation.
Other recent creations of great relevance
In this way, the innovations regarding sexual health are maintained. Barely in 2021 an invention was unveiled that went around the world. It is the brainchild of gynecologist John Tang Ing Chinh. Originally from Malaysia, after years of research he was finally able to develop the world’s first unisex condom To make it a reality, he used medical materials that are used daily in bandages.
In appearance it is quite similar to the male condom but in this case it is retractable. Therefore, it can be easily adhered to the penis or vagina, as required.
