An NGO, Society for Family Health (SFH) Nigeria, on Tuesday launched six new variants of condoms-Flex Classic- to help prevent sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancy in the society.
Managing Director of SFH, Bright Ekweremadu, told newsmen in Lagos that the flex classic condoms were ribbed and flavoured to provide extra sensation and heightened pleasure.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports SFH is an international NGO with a mission to empower Nigerians, particularly the poor and vulnerable, to live a healthy life.
Mr Ekweremadu said: “Anyone out there who is sexually active should always use a condom, not only to prevent unwanted pregnancy but to also protect against contracting sexually transmitted diseases.
“We are expanding and launching our new condom series in different brands, flavour and texture to ensure that every sexually active Nigerian is able to find a condom of their choice.”
According to him, the expansion was to also ensure that the demands of consumers were met, by producing the brands in various flavours and textures, such as banana, chocolate and strawberry.
“Originally, we have the Gold Circle Classic, and then we introduced the flex by gold circle brand and now we are extending that brand to six different variants.
“We are only responding to the demands of our consumers; we have made available this brand in different choices of demands,” he said.
Ekweremadu said that the products were double-tested, both nationally and internationally, to ensure its safety to end users.
“We ensured that our condoms are not only tested at the point of manufacture but also tested by the Federal Ministry of Health in Nigeria and it is certified to be very safe,” he said.
