Beksinska M, et al. - Researchers conducted a pilot study of the panty condom, which included experienced female condom (FC) users in Durban, South Africa, to assess the associated total clinical failure and total female condom failure. In addition, they determined non-inferiority of component modes, clinical breakage, non-clinical breakage, slippage, misdirection, and invagination. They asked 19 women to use 5 Panty Condoms each and collect information on use in a condom diary at home, followed by a follow-up interview. In 95 condom uses, 9 failure events in 8 condoms were identified. Occurrence of clinical breakage in 8.4% of condoms and slippage in one condom were reported. Using panty condom was either liked very much or liked somewhat by 15 women. Total clinical failure was approximately double that observed in other FC functionality studies.
