    "China's first liquid condom went on sale today after the country's health and drugs administration formally gave the hi-tech prophylactic the thumbs-up, the China Daily reports.

    Dubbed the Nanometer-silver Cryptomorphic Condom (NCC), it's designed for female rather than male usage. The condom-in-a-can is essentially an antiseptic foam spray that the manufacturer claims forms a physical membrane inside the vagina, protecting it from infection, acting as a barrier to pregnancy and providing a lubricating effect.

    It's not known who makes the NCC, but Beijing-based Chinese-Canadian condom maker Blue Cross Biomedical has been touting something along these lines for a while now. It maintains its spray-in condom "can effectively kill gynaecological disease pathogens such as staphylococcus aureus, Candida, coliform bacillus, and can prevent sexually transmitted diseases.

    "It can remain in the vagina for a long time without destroying the vagina's chemical balance," the company adds. "Daily use of this product can help maintain genital hygiene and prevent infection by pathogens"."

    I would say purse but that just leads to too many jokes.

    "And, judging by the photo, we can't help thinking at least some customers will find applying the product more stimulating that actually putting it through its paces."


    Oh dear. Someone should let him know where the clitoris is. Bless.

    Doesn't help against HIV I'm assuming.

    "protecting it from infection"

    Though granted it's not actually clear what they mean by "infection".

    Kills bacteria and yeast. Virii are fairly resilient in comparison, hence I'm assuming it won't help.

    It's pretty idiotic anyway. Male contraception is so much easier and gives fairly good protection against STDs. For birth-control this might be a solution to women who don't want / can't use hormonal treatments but to call it a 'spray on condom' is misleading.
