A new panty- like female condom set to be introduced in the market in creating waves of excitement among Ugandan women.

The panty-like female condom is a thong with an adhesive pocket on the front that carries one condom made of polyurethane. It is sold accompanied by three additional condoms for subsequent use.

“The panty condom has a stronger material and allows for change of positions during intercourse unlike the current female condom on market.

“You can wear it all day and walk with it and when it comes for action, you don’t have to waste time putting it on,” explained Dr Moses Muwonge, the director of Samasha Medical Foundation.

The panty condom is 10 times thinner than other condoms. It also anti-allergic and reduces pressure.

“There are many female condoms on the market but they are not appealing. The panty condom however is discreet and appealing to both women and men. You will not even feel it,” said Kenneth Mugumya, the national coordinator of Uganda Family Planning Consortium.
