What’s in your handbag right this second? A lip balm? Keys? A protein bar? Tampons? How about a condom?

I bet your answer to the last question is a big fat no. But why is that?

Let’s face it, when it comes to contraception, the burden often lies squarely on the shoulders of women.

We take the pill religiously, we consider the contraceptive implant and have even pondered the IUD. But when it comes to the condom, well, most women leave it to the men.

BUT WHY?

Condoms have long been associated with promiscuity and macho-sexuality. While these implications have made men the world over feel like a tough guy with a condom sitting proudly in his wallet, this stereotype has had the very opposite effect on women.

This is a huge issue. Because why shouldn’t everyone be prepared for sex?

This is a question 23-year-old Tiffany Gaines was struggling to comprehend when she started her own condom company. She recognised that there was a problem in the way women purchase – or don’t purchase them – and wanted to do something about it.

Made from 100% natural latex and free of nasty chemicals and additives.
