Condomania Introduces the Female Condom to America: America's Leading Condom Retailer is Among the First to Sell The Female Condom
=
LOS ANGELES - July 28, 1994 - This week, Condomania, the first condom boutique in the nation dedicated solely to selling condoms and safer sex specialty products, will add the female condom, Reality, to its vast assortment of male condoms, lubricants, and related products. To date, FDA-approved Reality has only been available through public health and family clinics. The much anticipated female condom will be sold in Condomania's New York, Los Angeles locations. Reality will also be available nationwide through Condomania's mail order division by calling 1-800-9CONDOM.
Developed by Wisconsin Female Health Company's Female Health Division, Reality is the first and only female condom to be marketed in the U.S. Reality is also the only product currently available that gives a woman control over protecting herself from sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV, the virus thought to cause AIDS, and to provide protection against pregnancy. Women have become the fastest-growing HIV-positive population, primarily through heterosexual sex. Recent Statistics place the number of HIV infected Americans to be over 10,000,000, meaning that more than one in l00 sexually active Americans are now HIV-positive. Adam Glickman, Condomania President, states "We are facing a national health crisis epidemic proportions. The female condom is a welcomed and necessary addition in our fight against AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases."
Reality is made of polyurethane, a thin, strong plastic. Studies show that Reality rarely rips or tears during use. Intended for one-time, Reality consists of a soft sheath with two flexible rings: an inner ring to insert the sheath and hold it in place over the cervix; and another that forms the outer edge of the sheath. Reality covers the cervix and the vaginal canal and partially extends over the labia. The benefits of using the female condom most commonly cited by women, include: it feels more comfortable than traditional condoms, their partners prefer it, and they have control of their sexual health.
Anticipation of Reality's arrival has been building at Condomania for a long time. "For almost two years people from around the country have been relentlessly calling our stores and mail order operators asking for the female condom. I'm very pleased we can now tell people that we have it! More importantly, Reality represents the evolution of condom technology and offers an important choice for many women" remarks Glickman.
Established in New York in 1991, Condomania focuses on assisting customers of every age, sex, culture and sexual orientation in the purchase of condoms and safer sex products. Condomania's innovative boutiques feature over 300 condoms from around the world, merchandised by style to help the customer choose from theriety of products currently available, including extra-large and snugger fit condoms, Japanese ultra-thin condoms, flavored condoms.
In 1993 Condomania's Mail Order division was established in response to the thousands of people requesting a way to order the best of Condomania's products from the comfort of their home. Today, people from all 50 states and most countries regularly call Condomania to order their favorite condoms and related products, or to find condoms that are not available in their area. All of Condomania's employees, including phone operators, are trained to take the complicated medical terminology, vague sexual innuendos and misinformation that often surround the discussion of sexually transmitted diseases, and translate these into clear and practical information that can be utilized.
All Condomania sales clerks and mail order operators have undergone special training over the past few weeks to answer questions that are likely to come with the introduction of Reality. Reality will be sold at Condomania stores and through Condomania's mail order division in three packs for $11.95, and in six packs for $21.95.
