"Yediot Ahronot": La Luna brand female condoms will cost NIS 55 for a packet of three.
Hebrew daily "Yediot Ahronot" reports that the female condom will be available for sale in Israel, three years after its launch in Israel and Europe. La Luna brand female condoms, manufactured by The Female Health Company (Nasdaq:FHCO), will cost NIS 55 for a packet of three.
The La Luna female condom is made from nitrile synthetic rubber. The 17-centimeter condom has two rings at the tip, an internal ring to help insertion, and an external ring to cover the vagina to prevent direct contact with the penis. The condom is inserted before sex.
"The most important thing is that the new condom gives the woman complete control for protected sex, without depending on the man's consent," said Women's Health in the Community chairwoman Dr. Noga Porat.
