Dear MyONE® wearers, enjoyers, and friends,
It’s the season of celebration and we have so much to be grateful for! 2023 has been monumental for MyONE® Custom Fit™ as we’ve continued spreading custom fit condoms and education to people across the country (and beyond!) . In honor of New Year, we wanted to highlight some of our biggest wins and show our appreciation for what makes MyONE, MyONE … you!
In case we don’t say it enough, we are thankful for each and every one of your support helping us become the largest custom fit condom line on the market. Through feedback from customers like you over the past six years, we’ve created an empowering and comfortable condom experience. Gone are the days of stretching condoms over arms and dismissing the very real problems associated with poor condom fit. Together we’ve made safer sex more pleasurable for condom wearers and their partners.
With 52 sizes to be thankful for, it was hard to narrow down just five wins to highlight. But here’s our best shot at MyONE’s year in review, thanks to you!
1. We turned SIX!
This October, MyONE celebrated its SIXTH birthday of coming to the U.S. market. In 2017, MyONE was created to fill a huge gap in the condom industry. While there were endless brands, shapes, and styles of condoms to choose from, there were very few size options. Of the different size options, most were made longer (completely ignoring the fact penises are shorter, wider, and narrower and need condom sizes to reflect this). In fact, condoms are too long for 91% of condom wearers. As leaders of innovation, we took this challenge and made a solution.
Thus, MyONE was born. A custom fit condom line offering 52 sizes with 10 length and 9 girth options. But we didn’t stop there. We believe in empowering people in their sexuality and sexual health, which is why we’ve created several different measuring options and accompanying resources to help people find their perfect fit shamefree, at home.
Over the past year…
- Over 20,000 people ordered a perfect fit from our website!
- Just a little bit over 50% were returning customers, our loyal Pickle Protection Club.
- 500,000 people visited our website.
- Our 45C FitCode (snuggest out of all 52 sizes) was our top seller.
- We transitioned MyONE® Custom Fit™ shopping now to our onecondoms.com website. You can now purchase ONE and MyONE products on the same site. PLUS you can use our Momentum® loyalty program points for MyONE purchases.
- We got the MyONE UK website back in action and orders have been shipping like crazy! We have MyONE distributors as well in Germany, France, Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland.
- We launched the MyONE 3-count Quick Samplers in the Snug, Classic and Large range. These are perfect if you don’t want (or have time) to measure, want to keep a few different sizes in your nightstand, or want to gift MyONE to a friend but are unsure of their penis size.
- We continued our partnership with CVS - the first retailer to carry MyONE in-store. The Snug Sampler 3-count was SO popular last year that CVS expanded it to 6,000+ stores in the Fall of 2023. Learn more about the MyONE sizes that are available at CVS, here.
Nothing makes us happier than helping our customers find their perfect fit for a better, more confident sexual experience. Seeing our customer base grow year over year confirms the need for personalized condom size and we are so excited to continue improving sex lives far and wide.
2. We made a guidebook!
This year we had the privilege of teaming up with sex educator Emily Gay on a collaborative condom fit guidebook! How to: The Guide to All Things Condoms is a comprehensive resource on all things condom-fit, including the history of the condom, how to choose the right condom, how a condom should fit, how to size yourself, an explanation of MyONE’s size range, and more! Here are the top five takeaways from Emily herself:
- Most condoms are made to fit one standard size, which is too long for 91% of people and too tight for 70% of people.
- Using condoms correctly is not only 98% effective at preventing pregnancy but also significantly reduces the risk of spreading STIs.
- 80% of the people who have an STI don’t show any symptoms.
- Material, texture, and type all play a major role into the comfort and wear-ability of a condom.
- There’s three easy ways to measure and sample your perfect fit condom.
Emily is a long time brand friend and an amazing partner for this project. We both share the mission of helping people feel confident in their sexual endeavors and providing shame free fact-based sex education. It’s always a pleasure to work with like minded industry professionals and put our heads together to serve and educate our customers in new, creative ways. Thank you Emily and her audience for believing in MyONE and working with us! You can learn more about Emily and her career as a sexual health educator on ONE’s blog We’re All In This Together: Meet Emily Gay and Her Condom Fit Guidebook.
3. Harvard Sex Week
This October, MyONE had our Elle Woods moment and spoke at Harvard University’s Sex Week! Sex Week is a student-led initiative to empower members of the Harvard community to explore their experiences with love and sex by providing comprehensive sexual education programming on Harvard’s campus. We loveeeee everything Sex Week stands for and we’re excited to offer our custom fit perspective to the list of incredible lectures.
Our presentation, “The Wrap, Unwrapped: Choosing the Right Condom With ONE,” provided an overview of MyONE and our offerings and also explained some of the most influential research surrounding condom fit and condom experience! A core of our mission at MyONE is education, and with that we base everything we do on research. It was fantastic to speak with students about the power of research in sexual health innovation and the science behind sex. A huge thank you to our friends at Harvard for letting us be a part of this fantastic event and for being an engaging audience! To learn more about our presentation, read our Community Story blog post ONE at Harvard Sex Week. We’ve also done condom fit workshops for health department nurses, at the National Sex Ed Conference, The NC Sexuality Conference, and more. We’re excited to continue our mission of education around condom fit in 2024!
4. AskMen votes MyONE Custom Fit as the Best Latex Condom for 2023!
Winner winner MyONE dinner! This year we had the HUGE honor of being named AskMen’s Dating Awards 2023 Best Latex Condoms!
Here’s what they had to say: “Much of the STI transmission that goes on in the world could probably be done away with in one single step — finding guys condoms that actually fit them properly. That’s the ONE Condoms mission, and it’s not just a noble one; it also feels great. Offering a variety of sizes that take both length and girth into account, ONE Condoms give you a real shot at finding the perfect condom for you in a way that other brands simply aren’t addressing right now.” Read more about this via AskMen.
5. GQ says: “The Best Custom-Fit Condom: MyONE Custom Fit condoms”
Oh my, the accolades! We’re honored to have also been listed by GQ as the best custom fit condom.
“If you've struggled to find a condom that fits just right, check out the Find Your Fit page on One's website. It'll tell you which size of their custom-fit condoms will work best for your anatomy. With 10 different lengths and 9 widths leading to 52 possible sizes, it's like buying a bespoke suit rather than something off the rack. ‘I've been using MyOne custom fit for about 2 years and I'll be using them for life. The custom fit is a game-changer,’ one Walmart reviewer raved.” - Read more on the GQ website.
6. MyONE goes to Germany!
We had a booth at the EroFame Conference in Hanover Germany! We had fun seeing friends and meeting new partners to help bring MyONE Custom Fit international!
The MyONE UK website is back in action and orders have been shipping like crazy! We have MyONE distributors as well in Germany, France, Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland.
That’s a wrap! As we bid farewell to an incredible year, filled with growth, education, and innovative strides, we thank each and every one of you who has been part of the MyONE journey. Your support, feedback, and loyalty have propelled us to new heights. We are so excited for an even grander 2024, as we continue our mission to enhance sexual experiences and promote a healthier, happier world.
Thank you for being an essential part of the MyONE community.
With gratitude,
The ONE Team
The good kind of fine print: All MyONE Condoms are latex condoms made from natural rubber latex. They are vegan-friendly, non-GMO, triple tested, and FDA cleared for the prevention of sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancy. MyONE Condoms are also hyperthin, lubricated, and feature technologies like Sensatex, MicroRoll and TotalGlide. They can be used during vaginal sex, oral sex, or anal sex. We also always recommend using extra lubricant with condoms for comfort, pleasure, and helping to reduce condom breakage. Just don’t use any oil-based lubes (such as baby oil), as oil breaks latex condoms. Be a pro at condoms: Check out our condom instructions here.
