A Malaysian gynecologist has created what he says is the world's first unisex condom that can be used by both women and men, made of polyurethane.
Its inventor hopes that the unisex Wondaleaf condom will allow people to have better control over their sexual health regardless of their sex or sexual orientation.
"It's a condom with an adhesive covering that sticks to the vagina or penis, as well as covering the adjacent area for added protection."
The adhesive is only applied to one side of the condom, he added, meaning either partner can reverse it and use it.
Each box of Wondaleaf contains two condoms and will cost $3.61.
Tang said Wondaleaf had gone through several rounds of research and clinical trials and would be commercially available through the company's website in December.
"Based on the number of clinical trials we have conducted, I am quite optimistic that over time it will be a significant addition to the many contraceptive methods used in preventing unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases," Tang said.
