Revolutionary quick-draw condoms

Wow! London Boy just sent me a link to Pronto Condoms, a new line of condoms that don’t need to be unwrapped and go on in seconds (watch the video and see it in action). These South African condoms may also be the first safer-sex items to win a design award — sweet. Snip:

“By the time the condom’s on, the mood is halfway out the window…

(…) Fortunately, those days are over. Introducing PRONTO, the condom for the new millennium. The PRONTO condom can be applied in a few seconds. And it’s a lot more convenient to use, compared to an ordinary condom. You simply crack the pack open and unroll the condom directly onto the penis. (…) All of this is made possible by a small plastic applicator, packed inside each foil pouch. When you slide the pack downwards, the applicator allows the condom to unroll by itself. Pretty nifty, don’t you think?

Each condom is manufactured in accordance with stringent international quality standards. This groundbreaking product was developed in South Africa, in conjunction with several international R&D partners. All our condoms are made to SABS standards. Our product is also a recipient of the prestigous SABS Design Institute Prototype Award.”

Thanks London Boy! He wrote, “Betcha this isn’t going to get any endorsements from Bush and Co.” Yeah, or the Catholic church (who still campaign against condom use in regards to African HIV prevention, good commentary on the church’s genocidal statements against HIV-related condom use here). Perhaps with innovations like this we’ll have some Africans left in 20 years. We will most certainly have Catholics. (He found it via BBC World Africa)
