A 3-way Crossover Clinical Investigation to Assess the Performance of Two Different Sized Polyurethane Condoms Versus a Latex Condom in Healthy Monogamous Couples.

This investigation is designed to evaluate the performance rate of two polyurethane male condoms with different sizes and thicknesses versus a standard natural rubber latex (NRL) male condom.

The purpose of this study is to see how well the experimental condoms perform compared to the latex rubber condom (for example, how often the different condom types break or slip off the penis).

Sponsor also wants to find out how well couples like using the three condom types and whether they experience any problems when using the condoms (for example, irritation or discomfort).

In this clinical investigation, new two PU male condoms (test condoms) will be evaluated against a marketed NRL male condom (control condom). This clinical investigation will also evaluate the in-use tolerance of the test and control condoms.
