Condom Facts!


Following the show last Monday, I have had some very interesting feedback particularly re the Condom info and facts so, I thought I’d put them all up on the blog so you can read at your own leisure (or not lol)

**********************************************************
During the show, we looked at the history of Durex:

-        1929  Durex is born and stands for Durability, Reliablity and EXcellence.
-        1930’s launch of latex.  Prior to this, condoms were imported.  Durex started manufacturing condoms using the latest dipping technology.
-        1953  Quality control.  Durex focused on the R for reliability –  they introduced electronic testing for every condom
-        1969  Shaping up. Durex pushed boundaries and developed condoms that were shaped more towards the shape of a man’s penis!
-        1974  Lubing up.  Durex introduced the addition of spermicidal lubricant.
-        2000  Pleasuremax, the first textured condom designed to stimulate both man and women was introduced.
-        2008  In response to the shocking statistic that only 1 in 3 women always or almost always orgasm, Durex brought Play O an orgasm enhancing gel that makes you super sensitive!!!
-        2009 New play vibration twinkle introduced…love toy (work it out).

*******************************************************************
We also looked at some of the Durex condom choices:

-        Pleasuremax – ribs / dots for extra stimulation
-        Extra Safe - slightly thicker with extra lube
-        Tingle – coated with tingly lube for extra thrill
-        Fetherlite - for that natural feel 

*************************************************************

We also discussed a few things that needed to be bared in mind when using condoms: 

-        Condoms are 98% effective when used properly
-        Careful not to tear with fingernails
-        STis can be passed though touch as well so get that condom on asap
-        Ensure teat is squeezed so no air gets locked inside
-        Keep squeezing as you roll the condom down
-       Finally, after all is said and done, get rid!!!

*********************************************************************
And finally, we looked at some fast facts about condoms… 

-        Much of the technology used by condom manufacturers today was invented by Japanese companies.
-        It is believed that the condom was invented in ancient Egypt where tribesmen wore cylindrical sacks to protect their members from insect bites.
-        15th Century Italian anatomist Gabriele Falloppio documented his method of wrapping the penis with linen sheaths to prevent syphilis.

*******************************************************
So there you have it…big shouts to Henri for his input in the show and remember you can join me every MONDAY at 9pm for another instalment of the Women’s Health & Lifestyle show on Bang103.6FM
