New Condoms From Trojan to Help Extend Love-Making, Accommodate Larger Men

First Climax Control Condom and Largest Condom on the Market Launch

- - - -

NEW YORK, April 3 /PRNewswire/ -- There are no more excuses for practicing unsafe sex with the introduction of condoms that answer consumer needs by extending the sexual experience for couples or fitting larger-sized men.

Launching (in May) is the first climax control condom, Trojan Extended Pleasure(TM), designed to help extend the love-making experience. This new condom will not only help all sexually active couples enjoy a longer sexual experience, but also can benefit the nearly 30 percent of couples who identify premature ejaculation as the most common sexual problem. At the same time, the new Trojan(R) Magnum(R) XL Extra Large condom marks the largest available on the market, designed to meet the demand of nearly 7.3 million males -- about 6 percent -- who require an extra large condom.

"Our goal when designing condoms is to encourage safer sex practices by helping to make the sexual experience as enjoyable as possible, and with the new Trojan Extended Pleasure condoms, we hope to help couples make that experience last even longer," says Richard Kline, vice president of marketing for Carter Products, division of Carter-Wallace, Inc. (NYSE: CAR), the makers of Trojan brand condoms. "We are continuously working to develop new technologies that enable us to manufacture condoms that not only provide a variety of safer sex options, but also can address common sexual problems, such as premature ejaculation."

Unlike any other latex condom on the market, new Trojan Extended Pleasure are created with a climax control lubricant inside the condom's tip to help prolong sexual excitement. They are lubricated on the outside for additional sexual comfort, and have a special reservoir tip for extra safety.

Trojan Magnum XL Extra Large condoms signify a major industry advancement, as they offer increased size and comfort to a group of men who have not been able to use condoms in the past. The condoms are 30 percent larger by volume than regular condoms and are even larger than the original Trojan(R) Magnum(R) condom.

"It is important that everyone have safer sex options, but for a significant population of men, available latex condoms have not provided an option. According to our research, the new Trojan Magnum XL Extra Large condoms address that need," says Kline.

The Trojan Magnum XL Extra Large condom will be available in boxes of 12 for a suggested retail price of $7.99, and Trojan Extended Pleasure condoms will be available in boxes of 12 for a suggested retail price of $8.49. Both condoms are made from premium quality latex, and like all Trojan brand products, the new condoms are triple-tested and made in the United States to ensure Trojan brand quality. Call 1-800-4TROJAN beginning in May 2001, to order a free sample of the new condoms and to learn more about all Trojan brand products.

Trojan(R) brand condoms, America's #1 most trusted condom brand for over 80 years, are produced by Carter Products, a division of Carter-Wallace, Inc., a publicly held company headquartered in New York, N.Y.
