(BlackDoctor.org) -- The U.S. has a approved a cheaper condom for females to be distributed across America as well as developing countries.
The company's FC2 Female Condom is made with a softer material for quieter use. Its original version failed to gain a foothold in the male condom-dominated U.S. marketplace in part because it was noisy to use, as well as more expensive.
Its new condom is made using a less costly process that company officials have said should lower its shelf price, as well as allow health organizations to distribute more of the birth control device to women in Africa and other areas where AIDS is a major concern.
