British scientists, celebrating the Month of Sexual Development and Education, invited students to the University of Wisconsin to test their new invention - reusable condoms.
These devices are made of the finest hemp canvas and therefore do not pollute the environment at all. After a single use, students had the opportunity to throw it away (in the environment it decomposes completely without emitting toxic compounds in just a few months) or return it to scientists at the university. There, scientists thoroughly clean it using special hypoallergenic disinfectant detergents. By the way, if you do not wash reusable condoms after use, they become crispy!
Condoms and Ecology
In addition, scientists accept ordinary disposable condoms for recycling, but over the course of several years the percentage of return of latex products was extremely small. Reusable condoms are an excellent alternative to disposable, environmentally unsafe condoms.
Think about how many used condoms just float in rivers and seas, polluting drinking water and the air we breathe. The average person eats about 50 pounds of meat per year, but few people know that our cows receive food, which includes dried, used condoms. So how many then dried ejaculates do we eat per year ?! So scientists came to the conclusion that the best condoms are reusable.
By the way, condoms became disposable only in 1960, and before that, for more than 20 years, people washed and used these products several times.
Latex
So, latex reusable condoms appeared on the world market . They are made of the thinnest latex (only 0.1 nm instead of 0.6 nm), which withstands mechanical damage, friction and pressure. Such a product is designed on average for 100 sexual acts. The kit comes with a special brush and disinfectant solution, and even a repair kit for sealing microcracks. The cost of such a product is about $ 20
Rigid construction
Another new model of reusable products is a lining on the penis with a special relief. It lengthens the penis, prolongs the duration of sexual intercourse and prevents the risk of developing adenoma, due to the fact that during the intercourse a vacuum massage of the penis occurs. The only difficulty is the individual sizes. Such a condom is made individually for each man.
How to use a reusable condom
In principle, there is nothing complicated here. The only difference: an ordinary disposable condom has a lubricant on its surface, and a reusable condom requires additional use of lubricants, and on both surfaces - both internal and external. You can choose a lubricant to your liking, but you should use factory means, petroleum jelly, as you know, can damage the structure and render the product unusable, which, in turn, will significantly reduce the Pearl index.
After intercourse, a condom should be removed and washed. This should be done immediately, since washing the already dried sperm will then be problematic. It should be washed with a special solution, which can be purchased at a pharmacy or in a specialized online store.
How to be allergic
Quite often, men complain that they are allergic to latex and they cannot use an ordinary condom, because an erection disappears so quickly. It is for this reason that hypoallergenic rubber and polyurethane reusable condoms were produced in the USA. This is a real salvation for many!
Reusable condoms: reviews and opinions
Most men do not like condoms in general - neither disposable nor reusable. This is due to the fact that, they say, they dull the sensations. And the best condoms are your own skin! So the problem of contraception lies entirely on the shoulders of women. But if oral contraceptives, spirals and other devices also have a contraceptive effect, then they do not protect against sexually transmitted diseases, as does the technology of interrupted intercourse.
Therefore, we still come to the conclusion that the use of a condom is simply necessary. Reviews of most men suggest that there is no particular difference between a disposable and a reusable condom.
Some men complain that reusable products often break after the second or third use. But at the same time, their price is much higher than their one-time counterparts. Here the only recommendation is that you need to carefully approach the choice of the manufacturer. Try to avoid cheap Chinese products - judging by the reviews of men, they not only tear, but also cause allergies, itching and even tumors.
Remember that in your hands the sexual health of both your and your partner - do not save on yourself.
