STIs are on the increase up 2.4% and with 64% of cases accounting for 16-25% year olds. The most common infection is Chlamydia which can lead to infertility in women. Also 55% of recent diagnose of HIV were heterosexual males. Dr Veerakathy Harindra, director of the Genito-Urinary Medicine clinic at St Mary's predicts explosion of STIs among the young.
 

So what are some of the reasons why young women are not carrying condoms to help protect themselves from STIs and Cervical Cancer? 64% 16-19 year olds surveyed were embarrassed to buy condoms, and 70% of women have been without a condom at the essential moment, also alcohol and drug use can also contribute to risky sexual behaviour.

The Chica Chick fashion handbag aims to encourage safe sex for young women. The handbag has 7 inner secret pockets which will contain essential items, such as deodorant, toothbrush and paste, panty towel, tampon, including a packet of three discreetly packaged Fusion Condoms. This will help to ensure women will have Condoms at the essential moment. Condoms can be reordered online and will be sent discreetly.

The other innovation of the chica chick handbag is that it is a two-in-one bag converting very easily from a large day bag to an evening cute grab bag. Available in their signature patchwork style, in four seasonal colour ways, thus making the bag very versatile.

The handbag is ethically made in faux leather, (PU) and which means that it is biodegradable in 10 years and no animals have been harmed in the making of the bag, and is wipe clean.
