FAQs

How long does it take to degrade?

Our research indicates that our condoms will degrade within one year, which is an enormous difference compared to “never” which is the case for current condoms on the shelves.

How safe are your condoms?

Our condoms will be at least as safe as the industry standard. Our research is indicating that our material mix is actually stronger in stretched states, meaning that there is a good chance our condoms will be safer than the current standard.

What makes current condoms harmful?

Current condoms contain harsh chemicals like ammonia, carcinogenic nitrosamines, and PFAS that are introduced during the manufacturing or harvesting process to stabilise the material and make condoms impenetrable. We have discovered a safe method to get to the same structural strength without compromising on the user’s reproductive health.

What makes current condoms not sustainable?

Current condoms do not degrade at all and have the same polluting effect as single-use plastics. This is achieved primarily through the use of PFAS. Our condoms have the same level of safety but degrade naturally within one year.

Do I have to dispose of the condom differently?

No, nothing about your behaviour needs to change for your conscience to be cleared. Wherever the condom ends up it will get in contact with bacteria and/or fungi that will break down the condom naturally.

What is the condom made of?

The condom largely uses natural latex harvested using a new technology that avoids the use of ammonia and carcinogenic nitrosamines and contains 55% less allergens. Our second ingredient is what makes our condoms biodegradable. As our patent is pending, we can’t yet disclose the details.

Innovation Under Seal

Our commitment to a physically healing, and environmentally protecting condom is backed by rigorous R&D and proprietary material science. To ensure the integrity of our breakthrough formula and the long-term protection of our intellectual property, we are currently operating under Patent Pending status. While we cannot disclose the specific components or the molecular architecture of our latex at this stage, our ongoing research with AFLatex Technologies and our board of technical advisors ensures that every claim is rooted in verified data. We look forward to sharing our full results and technical explanations soon, once our international patents are finalised.
