Talking Clean with Irene

The Wrap Up on Safe Sex

Listen Later

Listen in on my open conversation with Bec Park, the Co-founder of the female-owned condom brand, Jonny. Jonny is a vegan-friendly condom that comes with a 100% biodegradable, disposable bag to make practising safe sex fun, easy and good for the environment. Bec and I discuss why there is still so much stigma around discussing safe sex openly and why too many women fear rejection when asking for a condom from their sexual partners.

 

Key Takeaways:

  1. Jonny was founded by three friends, Bec Park, Bec Villanti and Samantha Eades after discussing the stigma around sex and the rise in STIs.
  2. 60% of women prefer to go to the doctor and undergo an STI test rather asking for a condom during sex out of fear of rejection.  Because of this, Jonny is on a mission to promote the importance of safe, consensual and respectful sex to help minimise STIs. 
  3. Did you know that traditional condoms often have milk derivative "casing" that is used to lubricate the condom? Jonny uses a silicone oil, making it 100% vegan - better for the planet and our body!
  4. Don't throw condoms down the toilet! Too often, condoms end up in our waterways rather than being disposed of safely. Jonny has developed a disposable, biodegradable bag that you can place your used condom in before throwing it in the bin.
