L. has been called a "future-forward company" by Fast Company and a “sexy and bold statement’’ by USA Today. L. Condoms were described as "a new condom for the modern consumer" by Forbes and a "product that could change the lives of millions" by Vanity Fair.

L. was founded by Talia Frenkel, a photojournalist who documented the effects of HIV/AIDS on women and girls and was shocked by the preventative nature of the epidemic. L. has been dubbed "1 for 1 + " for its holistic approach to supporting long-term distribution channels, peer-to-peer education and female-run social enterprise programs. By providing the highest quality care products for the individual consumer and women in developing countries around the globe, L. gives itself the best opportunity to create lasting change.

L. is growing fast and we have a lot we'd like to accomplish. We are looking for someone who has a strong entrepreneurial spirit, a passion for social change, and the determination to help build L. to its next stage of growth.
