In a riveting second punch, the KISS KONDOM product line will be extended in the fall to include Studded Paul KONDOMs, featuring studded latex condoms and images of Paul Stanley on the packaging. Shortly thereafter, Love Gun Protection KONDOMs will be introduced, featuring extra strength latex condoms and images of the whole group on the packaging.

Significantly, KISS KONDOM packaging is the first ever to display a color photographic image of a person or licensed property on both the condom wrapper and on the box intended for commercial distribution.

The massive KISS following that spans four decades and millions of fans will ensure that KISS KONDOMs will reach a targeted audience not currently tapped by traditional methods and products. "Condomania always looks for innovative ways to celebrate safer sex and to make it as enjoyable and non-intimidating an issue as possible," commented Glickman. "KISS KONDOMs will be responsible for creating new markets and accessing difficult-to-reach buyers." KISS KONDOMs will be sold in three packs with a suggested retail price of $4.95.

"Safer sex is everyone's responsibility; it's ours to try to make it fun," states Stanley. Adds Simmons, "Men should use condoms the first time and every time, which is why KISS KONDOMs are coming out."
