Female condom color and scent preference in Durban, South Africa
Objectives
To assess preferences for female condom (FC) colors and scents.
Study design
Women aged 18–40 years were randomized to one of three FCs (FC2, Cupid1, Cupid2) two of which offered a choice of color and scent (red/strawberry, purple/vanilla, natural/unscented). Women could choose any variety within condom types while participating in an FC contraceptive efficacy study in South Africa.
Results
One hundred and thirty-three women were allocated to each FC type. Strawberry was the most popular variety for both FC2 and Cupid1 (60.9%, 78.3% respectively). Some women chose more than one variety but few chose the natural.
Conclusions
Data support a clear preference for colored and scented FCs.
Implications
These data can inform FC programme managers to predict demand for different varieties of FC and can adjust supply of FCs accordingly.
