Among the numerous holidays in the year there are a number of those that are called upon to popularize important things for health and safety. It is to these that we can safely refer the World Condom Day, which appeared in the calendar not so long ago.
There are discussions about when the condom day is celebrated-which number? The most common are two dates - 13 February and 19 August. The first arose in 2007 right on the eve of Valentine's Day as another reminder of the safety of sexual relations, and on August 19 - the previously established Condom Day.
Why is this product given so much public attention and just a few days a year all the progressive public pays attention to it?
The history of the condom
People have long faced the problem of protection from sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancy. What they did not use for this in ancient times - the guts of animals, fish bubbles, muscle tissue, linen bags and much more. According to many sources, the world's first condom was made of leather, and its owner was none other than Pharaoh Tutankhamun. Around the same time, the Japanese invented a similar product called "kavagata" made of very soft and thin skin. With the discovery, in 1839, of vulcanization, a process that made it possible to turn rubber into a strong elastic rubber, condoms were born in 1844. The first latex contraceptive was invented in 1919, it was thin and had no unpleasant smell of rubber. And the first greased condom was released only in 1957.
Condom manufacture today has become highly technological and fully automated. At all stages, the quality and strength of products are monitored, and defective samples are immediately destroyed.
As you can see, this small product has withstood many transformations and has been significantly improved. Today, condoms are made from the finest latex, which is almost not felt on the body. Moreover, there are numerous variations of products - both in form and in flavor. Everything is done to exclude the feeling of discomfort when using condoms.
What is the use of a condom?
Despite its compact size and simple design, the most common condom can save us from many problems. Its ultra-latex film protects us from many dangerous venereal infections, including HIV. Of course, you can not give a 100% guarantee to any contraceptive, including a condom, but it is the most effective tool. Affordable price and wide assortment allow everyone to pick up a suitable product and use it as needed. Neglect of this little thing is fraught with serious problems with health or unwanted pregnancy .
Many, especially young people, do not have sufficient and timely information about the basics of safe sex and enter into sexual contacts without protection. It is to bring such important points to a large number of people and created World Condom Day. During the celebration in different parts of the world, topical issues related to sexual intercourse and various contests are raised, where the basics of sex education are fused in a playful form.
International condom day is an important holiday that fulfills an educational and educational mission and helps to save the life and health of many people.
