Celebrating Female Empowerment: FC2 Hosts Unique Event in NYC for Global Condom Day

FC2 Female Condom Hosts Groundbreaking Event in NYC

On September 15, 2026, the FC2 Female Condom organized a unique event in Union Square, Manhattan, to honor Global Female Condom Day. This first-of-its-kind initiative, aptly named the "Overdue Advice" event, aimed to promote awareness and understanding of female condoms while inviting participants to discuss essential topics related to sexual health. The event ran from 11 AM to 4 PM, drawing in many New Yorkers eager to learn more about reproductive health and female empowerment.

As part of the day’s activities, reproductive health professionals were on hand to provide valuable information regarding the female (internal) condom. They encouraged attendees to share advice that they believed was long overdue in the realm of sexual health, personal awareness, and body positivity. This initiative was designed not only to educate but also to stimulate open conversations about reproductive choices, thus reducing stigma around female condom usage.

The event partnered with various organizations, including the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and local community health groups like Iris House, Destination Tomorrow, Voces Latinas, Housing Works, and the AIDS Healthcare Foundation. These organizations provided critical resources and insights into accessing sexual health services throughout the city, demonstrating a strong community commitment to enhancing health education.

One of the highlights of the event was the provision of free demonstrations on how to properly use the FC2 Female Condom, a crucial aspect given that misinformation and lack of knowledge often lead to hesitance in using female condoms. Participants also had the opportunity to receive on-site HIV and HPV testing, emphasizing the event's focus on comprehensive sexual health care.

Michael Kuznetsov, CEO of Clear Future (the manufacturer of the FC2 Female Condom), expressed pride in collaborating with the NYC Department of Health and its significant role in the city’s health infrastructure. He noted, "We're proud to be working with the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which is an indispensable part of the city's infrastructure – one that keeps New Yorkers healthy by ensuring access to safe and effective birth control and STI prevention methods."

The NYC Condom Availability Program further enhances accessibility to safer sex products by distributing materials throughout the city's businesses, community organizations, and health clinics. With this initiative, any organization in NYC can request FC2 Female Condoms through the NYC Safer Sex Portal, encouraging more venues to provide essential sexual health resources to their communities.

The FC2 Female Condom itself is noted for being the only FDA-approved internal condom available, designed to prevent pregnancy and reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV. It is hormone-free and latex-free, making it a suitable option for individuals who may have allergies or prefer non-hormonal forms of protection. Given its accessibility—covered by most health insurance plans when prescribed by a clinician—FC2 has become a preferred choice for many.
