Condom Retailer First to Ban
Products Containing
Nonoxynol-9 Spermicide
|
|
PLAINVILLE, Conn., Feb 26 2004 --
CondomDepot.com, one of the nation's leading condom
retailers, has announced that they have removed all
products containing the popular spermicide nonoxynol-9
from their shelves. They are the first major condom
retailer to drop the controversial spermicide from their
shelves.

Too many
young adults are not aware of the harmful and potentially
deadly consequences of using this product |

Kimberly Fidi, President of CondomDepot.com explains, "Too many
young adults are not aware of the harmful and potentially deadly
consequences of using this product. People are trading the misbelief
of greater birth control reliability for an increased risk of
contracting HIV, the virus that causes AIDS and other STD's."
Studies by organizations including the Centers of Disease Control,
and The World Health Organization have shown that the toxicity of
Nonoxynol-9 can lead to vaginal and rectal irritation. This
irritation can cause sores and lesions that create a path for STD's
and HIV to enter the bloodstream. "Condoms alone are more than 98%
effective when used properly," says Fidi. "Studies prove that the
small amount of nonoxynol-9 used on condoms has been declared
ineffective as a contraceptive and does not substantially decrease
the incidence of pregnancy." Fidi also added, "More worrisome are
the amount of calls we receive from females complaining of vaginal
irritation and pain after intercourse with latex condoms. Many of
them stop using condoms altogether. In the end we find out that most
of these women are using Condoms lubricated with nonoxynol-9. We
must educate them that nonoxynol-9 is the cause of irritation, not
the condom."
Nonoxyol-9 has come under great scrutiny recently. Health Educators
along with most non-profit safer sex organizations do not recommend
using products containing it. Unfortunately, many sources are still
reporting that Non-9 kills the HIV Virus. It should be noted that
abstinence is the only 100% effective way of eliminating unwanted
pregnancy and infection and nonoxynol-9 is better then no
contraception at all.
