Celebrating Global Female Condom Day

Celebrating Global Female Condom Day!

Today is Global Female Condom Day, a day that exist to raise awareness about “the only method available today designed to offer woman-initiated, dual protection from pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections”. I discovered internal (female)condoms about a year ago and as because my long-standing policy on products is “I will never lie about liking a product I dislike but when I love a product I will not even try to be subtle – you can’t shut me up about it” and I LOVE female condoms, I have gotten to talk a bit about them in honor of today’s occasion. Check it out and then maybe go check out some internal condoms!
