I was in Vancouver briefly for business, our supply chain is so bad that we are driving to Vancouver port to pick up our own supplies now. While there, visited one of the micros and a new option was offered, Chinese Liquid Condom. For someone who has been in this hobby for 30 years, complete news to me that China had approved the product for use against pregnancy and STDs including HIVs over a decade ago. I declined the extra $ service but did some research later, seems like there were a lot of write up on such "molecular condom" products back in the 2000s, it got approved for use in China but it never gained any traction in North America. The product was initially designed for use in 3rd world countries where women has less power to insist on the use of its latex cousins. A Canadian university did a paper on it back in 2006 and that was about it here in Canada. Supposedly, quite effective against pregnancy and STDs as claimed, just not as good as the latex stuff. Having never tried it myself, I can only envision that it is like having BBFS with reduced risk; even regular latex is reducing risk only, nothing is risk free.
Would China approves it if it is not safe? Okay, don't answer that question. Just a little surprised that nothing more on whether the product is safe to use here in Canada beyond some initial research papers. Would you use it if it is offered here? I have to say, I want to try but may be not until our good doctors here endorse it.
