Zimbabwe, Harare. (News Of The South) – The female version of the condom is selling like hot cakes in Harare where women are using the condom to clear facial black spots instead of for preventing sexually transmitted infections and birth control.
The Zimbabwe National Family Planning Council (ZNFPC) confirmed that demand for the female condom had risen sharply.
The Care Female Condom is popular for being soft, smooth giving natural sensation and odourless.
Women who use the condom on their faces claim they use it at night before retiring to bed and the results have been amazing.
“My friend told me about it after I asked her what she used since the black spots on her face had disappeared and she told me that she wipes her face with the Care female condom before she goes to sleep,” said one woman.
But commenting on the Care condom’s cosmetic potential, Population Services International (PSI) communications officer, Paida Magaya, PSI communications officer advised women women to only use condoms for their intended purposes.
“The female condom has been designed for protection against sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancies. There is no known research done that extends the use of the condom, save for the ones mentioned,” she said.
PSI director marketing Kumbirai Chatora PSI director said: “The new care is soft, easy to use, does not make noise and is made from a very thin but strong material which warms up to the woman’s’ body giving sex a natural sensation.
“It is designed to increase sexual pleasure and it gives the woman control and puts her in charge of her health and increases satisfaction in the relationship because partners need not to worry about HIV, STIs and unintended pregnancies.”
Zimbabwe National Family Planning Council distributes free condoms while Population Services International (PSI) sells them at the cost of 20cents through hairdressers and barbers.
