The 2nd Generation Female Condom is out… and who should wear it?

It has been 16 years since the first female condom “FC1” was produced by The Female Health Company to help prevent pregnancy, HIV/AIDS, and other sexually transmitted diseases.
This month the FDA has approved a lower-cost version called the FC2 Female Condom made of nitrile polymer instead of polyurethane, which allows for the use of non-water based lubricants and will cost up to 30% less than the FC1.
Sales of female condom have so far been very disappointing for various reasons including cost, difficulty to use, rustling noise and marketing issues.
In this video, comedian Jonesy flips the traditional idea of who should be wearing the condom (contains strong language).
