One Male Condom
One Male Condom is a condom designed specifically for anal sex. It received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval on February 23, 2022.[1] All previously approved condoms were only approved for vaginal sex, and had a high failure rate when used off-label for anal sex, both homosexual and heterosexual, increasing the risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections such as HIV.[2][3]
ONE and MyONE Condoms issued a press release with the following notes:
- "We've seen some media report that we designed a condom specifically for anal sex. This is not accurate. Our existing ONE Condoms and myONE fitted condoms became the first brands ever approved by the FDA for anal. Condoms have only previously been approved for vaginal sex.
- Our brand is ONE Condoms, not "One Male Condom." FDA still uses "male condom" as a term, and listed us as "One Male Condom" in their press release. As a brand, we like to use "external condom" instead to be inclusive. Our mission is to be a brand for everyONE."[4]
