The world's first unisex condom has finally been invented – at least according to a gynaecologist based in Malaysia.

The gynaecologist named John Tang Ing Chinh – who works at medical supplies firm Twin Catalyst – is confident that his new product is the very first condom created that can be worn by either males or females, and hopes that it will serve as another avenue for people to practice safer and better sex.

According to the doctor, the condom is made from medical-grade materials commonly used to dress wounds – such as polyurethane, and works just like any other condom would, save for a few nifty additions.

"It's basically a regular condom with an adhesive covering," he said. "It attaches to the vagina or penis, as well as covers the adjacent area for extra protection."
He explained that the condom has only one side with an adhesive, but can be reversed and used by either individual according to preference.

According to the product's website, the condom's default configuration is as an internal condom, but can by converted into an external one by simply inverting the pouch.
"Once you put it on, you often don't realize that it's there," Tang added.

The condom has so far gone through several rounds of clinical research and tests, and will most likely be available for commercial purchase online by the end of 2021.

"Based on the number of clinical trials we have conducted, I am quite optimistic that given time, it will be a meaningful addition to the many contraceptive methods used in the prevention of unintended pregnancies and sexually-transmitted diseases," he said to news outlets.

The Wondaleaf condom will go on sale for US$3.60 (RM14.99) for a box containing two condoms and accompanying lubricant sachets and retention gauzes.
