VA w.o.w. Condom Feminine® Wants You as a Partner!



Yes!  IXu is ready to launch its beautiful line of condoms for women.  

It's been years in the making.

The VA w.o.w.® is ready for the global health care stage.  Thank you for considering to be an early-bird supporter and consumer.

The VA w.o.w.® (worn-of-women) could be called the next must-have condom - -  both our regular VA®, the original simple latex condom for women, and the much media-hyped condom/sextoy model with a built-in vibe toy! 

SEE:  July 28, 2015 IXu Press Release announcing the VA wow® Indiegogo campaign. 

IXu first introduced the world to the VA w.o.w.® latex  women's condom in 2006.  In 2013 our regular VA®  scored the highest in efficacy of all four female condoms in a Clinical Study published in the Lancet medical journal!

Add to that several studies over the years, including a 2007 Acceptability Study where the VA w.o.w.® scored a 97% positive acceptability rating by women. 

So simply, the time is right for bringing our beautiful condoms, with great form and function, to the world.



The 2013 Clinical Study, funded by the Universal Access for Female Condoms, is prominently highlighted in the June 26, 2015 Petition Letter from the National Female Condom Coalition to the FDA. 

The NFCC letter is signed by 88 organizations that could speed up the American and global regulatory approvals for more female condoms.

The letter urges the FDA to allow more female condoms to be FDA approved by re-classifying female condoms.

And, because of the diligent work of many, including the FDA petitioning by the NFCC, IXu believes the VA w.o.w.® and others are as close as ever to obtaining approval.

Here's part of NFCC's June 26, 2015 publicly published letter to the FDA:  



Of course, the VA® latex condom is a regulated medical device and has been scientifically developed as such. It's already approved for sale in Europe and for use by social programs around the world.

With Indiegogo support the VA® is coming to you very soon.


Here's the Vibe We're Getting: 

When we announced in April the upcoming VA w.o.w.® with a built-in vibe, it created such a global reaction in the media that the fastest possible route to get the product on the market is to go - - Indiegogo.

The VA Vibe™ model is as simple as it is beautiful (condom+sex toy), and the 50-Couple User Study told us it provides the path to climax very well!  (100% by fourth use!)

IXu wants to put all these condoms in your hands as soon as possible!

The Plan:

1.  Bring both the VA w.o.w.® regular and vibe models to all markets ASAP.

2.  Enter the EU market with a mid-2016 European rollout of the regular VA w.o.w.®,  where market approval already exists.  In 12-18 months, begin a European roll-out for VA Vibe™, where CE Mark approval for this model has also already been previously obtained.


Where Your  Contributions Will Go:

IXu will retain regulatory consultants to speed FDA approval for all models of the VA w.o.w.®, and continue a high-profile public campaign for awareness of new female condoms on the market.

With all needed regulatory mandates fulfilled, IXu can conclude its 10+ years of R&D, test-marketing and mass-production preparations. Retail markets will open and all social programs can obtain the VA® line for global non-profit distribution.

IXu is ready to immediately mass market the VA w.o.w.® product line, starting with the basic VA®, and within 12-18 months add the world's first female condom with a built-in mini vibe,the VA Vibe™! 



The Vibe You Get:

The VA Vibe™ is the condom/sex toy combination we created that the media just ran wild about!   Please look at our early-bird perks.

To see the reactions you can google search: va wow ixu female condom or visit ixullc.com.





The VA w.o.w.® April 2015 press release, featuring the VA Vibe™ was immediately shown on the Dr. Drew show on CNN-HLN.

Shown above:  Star, Heart, Apple-shaped frames of the VA w.o.w. Vibe™


The prolific media reaction to the PR piece was prompted by the 50-couple User Study, which recorded very high user orgasm rates with the VA Vibe™.


 

Why the Plan is Already Working:

1.  FDA approval regulations are currently being reevaluated by the FDA. The effort for for more female condoms being approved is being pursued by many including the the National Female Condom Coalition.  IXu notes a good chance regulations will be revised,  and the VA® could conceivably be FDA approved and on the market in about a year!

2.  As previously mentioned, and worth repeating: The 2013 UAFC Clinical Study published in The Lancet® medical journal rated the regular VA® as having the highest overall efficacy of all female condoms. 

3.  The regular VA® has been retail test-marketed within Europe, (e.g., Germany, UK, Sweden) and achieved major social distribution in South Africa, Brazil and Portugal since 2006. 

4.  The VA® is based on 20 years of barrier contraceptive R&D by the late innovator and scientist, Dr. AVK Reddy, MD.  IXu now brings his early and our latest technology to global markets by sourcing the mass-manufacturing capable of producing the lowest costs available.

Estimated eventual consumer prices are approx. $1 USD per regular VA® condom and  VA Vibe™ for under $1.75 USD per condom.

5.  A successful crowd-funding campaign brings more health advocates and experts who know FDA protocol and regulations needed for approvals of the VA® around the world.  

Any unmet goals in this crowdfunding will be used to gain FDA approval in the fastest way possible.

Other Successful IXu Condoms:

IXu successfully marketed for years its #1 rated inSpiral® male condom and is returning inSpiral® to the global market in the next 3-6 months with thanks to our new manufacturing partner, Indus Medicare Ltd.


In Conclusion: 

IXu is confident the FDA will conclude in their current Retrospective Analysis that enough data exists to allow faster market approval for other female condoms.

---------------

About IXu:

IXu is a small private Michigan company designing health care products since 1990. CEO/Founder Brian Osterberg collaborated with the late Dr. AVK Reddy, MD for 20 years and continues their mutual ambition to create superior health products.  Their #1-rated condoms, including inSpiral® and VA wo.w.®, have been available world-wide at:  Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, Boots, Ministry of Health Departments, etc.  Many global social programs like DKT purchased their brands until the original manufacturing site was closed in favor of mass-production with larger-scale manufacturing partners.  Now these products are returning for full-scale distribution.
IXu believes a mass-produced VA Vibe™ can be manufactured for under .25 cents USD.  Mini-vibes have become less expensive so our patented condom technology and mini sex toy costs have intersected for producing disposable condoms with miniaturized electronics.  Our basic concept of combining mini sex toys with condoms is now practical for mass-production, and can be very beneficial to social non-profit distribution programs around the world.

Thank You

Your contributions will allow the quickest path to having these proven products available to everyone worldwide.

"Brian, 
...you have a significant position in condom innovation history. You should be recognized as such alongside Dr. Reddy on the internet. I am a Wikipedia editor and I will review content to see where I can update any gaps in the narratives.      
Dorjee and I wish you continued success marketing VA WoW and the Vibe electronics. I think they are brilliant!  Please let me know if I can provide you with any support info as might be needed for clinical research, etc., in the near future.    Ciao,  Danny"   December 2013

"Hi Brian,

...Our female condom is finally ‘in production’.  Interestingly, our Principal Investigator – who is unfamiliar with your work – recently suggested adding a ‘vibrator’ to our product.  I told him that that concept was already developed.

Be well,  Leon"     January 2015

"Dear Brian,

...I’ve recently been approached by several pharmacies and activists who want to buy the VA wow female condom. I’m still an activist in promoting New Prevention Technologies (NPT) for women and just going to join a new campaign of UAFC, thus I would like to know: where can people buy your female condoms in Germany?

It would be nice to hear from you.

Best regards,
