A new female condom has been launched in Europe.

The US-based manufacturer of V-Amour claims it provides the same protection as all condoms but is easier to use and cheaper.

Female condoms made from thin, soft, lubricated plastic have been available around the world for some years.

The new design consists of a polyurethane sponge tucked inside a latex pouch.

Inventor, Dr AVK Reddy, predicts it will become "extremely successful as an Aids prevention method because of its low cost for distribution around the world".

The new female condom is currently available only in Germany but discussions are underway to bring it to Britain.
