A new app that tells smart phone users where they can get free Lifestyles condoms will be launched by the New York Health Department.

Using GPS, the NYC Condom Finder Services app directs randy New Yorkers to one of the 1,000 centers across the five boroughs where lubricated Lifestyles brand condoms are handed out for free.

"New Yorkers are mobile, so we need to reach them both with sexual health information and easy access to service information wherever they are," the New York Daily News quoted city Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley as saying.

"We distributed well over 36 million male condoms and 1 million female condoms last year," said Farley.
