Malaysian gynaecologist creates 'world's first unisex condom'
13 Sept 21:38Key points summarised by AI
Dr. John Tang Ing Chinh, a Malaysian gynaecologist, developed Wondaleaf, claiming it as the world's first unisex condom designed for use by both males and females.
Crafted from medical-grade polyurethane, a material used in wound dressings, the condom is thin, flexible, strong, and features an adhesive to secure it for enhanced protection.
The invention aims to empower individuals to take greater control over their sexual health, offering a new method for preventing unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.
Priced at 14.99 ringgit ($3.61) for two, Wondaleaf has completed clinical trials and is slated for commercial release via Twin Catalyst's website in December.

Thai Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow advises Thai nationals in Europe to avoid protest areas and reconsider non-essential travel, citing widespread unrest in countries like France, Italy, and Spain.
The warning comes as demonstrations escalate, with some turning violent, prompting concerns for safety and leading to an emergency Cabinet meeting in Italy and a proposed postponement of diplomatic talks.
Thai embassies and the Department of Consular Affairs issue advisories, urging citizens to monitor local developments, follow official announcements, and register their travel details for assistance, while emphasizing that no Thais have been directly affected yet.
