01 about
the simple way to demonstrate
the use of female condoms
The O-Cube is an innovative tool that makes learning how to use female condoms intuitive and easy.
Simple Functionality
The O-Cube is a transparent, inflatable PVC cube that is used to demonstrate and practice the proper insertion of female condoms.
The O-Cube can be used to demonstrate most types of female condoms currently available.
Its compact size and light-weight allows for cost-effective shipping and distribution.
The ideal Peer-to-Peer Marketing Tool
The O-Cube‘s affordable price makes it ideal for widespread distribution. It can be handed out as a giveaway during promotion and training activities, allowing women and men to practice the proper insertion of female condoms in the privacy of their homes. They can then share their acquired knowledge and pass the O-Cube on to others.
This we believe can significantly boost the impact of training and advocacy activities.
The O-Cube can also be widely distributed to points of sale e.g. pharmacies, convenience-kiosks and hairdressing salons, supporting more innovative approaches to spread female condoms use.
Cultural Sensitivity
The O-Cube’s abstract design allows it to be used without creating unnecessary unease or offence in culturally or religiously sensitive communities and in situations where the O-Cubes are used outside the training environment.

as a peer-to-peer marketing and distribution tool:

03 why O-cube
The O-Cube was designed and developed by a team of three designers based in Berlin/Germany who had identified the need for a simple, affordable, yet effective tool to demonstrate the use of Female Condoms.
Female condoms were developed as a woman-initiated contraception device that offers protection from unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STI’s), including HIV & Aids. It offers women and girls the choice to protect themselves and not have to depend on their male partners using a male condom.
Today, the female condom is gaining popularity globally as a non-hormonal contraception method with no spermicidal additives. Besides this, both women and men cherish the convenience and enhanced pleasure female condoms offer. Amongst others...
• They offer the same level of protection as male condoms
• They can be inserted ahead of sexual intercourse
• They do not require a perfect fit for men

"Using the O-Cube is so simple and you can use it anywhere without causing embarrassment."
04 what our clients say
"We at the Female Health Company are big fans of the O-Cube female condom demonstration model!
The O-Cube has provided us with a non-threatening and very clear demonstration model that can be used to explain female condom insertion to any background, religion or conviction. It also provides a very clear visual explanation of the main question we get: "how does it stay in my body?"
Finally, due to its light weight and low cost it is very easy for peer educators to carry with them, creating easier distribution of information on the female condom and thereby the product itself also."
