This is one of those stories I wish I had not come across on Feministing today. Apparently, there’s a new kind of contraception on sale in China, and it comes in a can.
It’s a “liquid condom” for women called the Nanometer-silver Cryptomorphic Condom (or, if you’re in amorous embrace and want to get your paws on it in a hurry, “NCC”). It looks like a can of silly string, except that when the long nozzle is inserted into a woman’s vagina, out shoots an “antiseptic foam spray” that’s supposed to form a “physical membrane” that blocks sperm, prevents infection and — bonus! — aids in lubrication.
Yak.
