@dshan Hi Derek (and Erik @eriktorenberg )! Great question. It began with surrounding ourselves with people who are smarter than us in the field, including material scientists and engineers. We made a point to address each of the major complaints about condoms and user experience. One of the most critical and intensive parts of the process is that condoms are considered a medical device by the FDA. So 1) initial concept and design, 2) manufacturing, and 3) regulatory approvals were the three major steps.

@_gordee Empowering women is a huge part of our mission - both to provide higher-quality condoms to women here in the U.S., as well as economic opportunities and sexual health education to women in the developing world. Selling the condoms acts as an income generating activity that provides our women partners greater say in their local communities around key decisions such as condom use. I've provided a link with more info on this here: http://www.unaids.org/en/resources/presscentre/featurestories/2015/july/20150702_condoms_prevention In addition, endorsing the sale of condom as opposed to donations lays the foundation for long-term, local distribution channels and a higher probability that condom use will be adopted. See this article for further information: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4501095/ That's what drives L.'s current donation distribution model. Let us know if you have any other thoughts or questions, and we really, really appreciate your support Gordon!

Hi Product Hunters! I'm Talia, founder of L. We're here because you deserve world changing sex. Condoms can suck - ours don't. We reduced the proteins in the latex to get rid of latex scent, taste and irritation, and we deliver them to you on demand or you can order a subscription. For every L. condom you buy we give one to a female entrepreneur in a developing country. Let us know what you think!
