With the rise in sexual activity among boys age 12-14, the Swiss have switched gears from neutral to progressive by unveiling the wonderfully titled Hotshot, an extra-small condom that costs about 5 pounds for a pack of six.
Family planning groups and the Swiss AIDS Federation are among those those that championed the production of the prophylactic, which was developed by condom manufacturer Lamprecht AG and measures about 1.7 inches in diameter (compared to 2 inches for standard jimmy hats).
A company spokeswoman says the Hotshot is currently only available in Switzerland but the UK is a “top priority” if the product were to be marketed abroad. Sit tight, wee London lads.
And while we’re on the condom theme, remember that NYC design contest we reported on last month? Well, the online voters have spoken and the image we highlighted (a computer power button or something else perhaps?) happened to be the image that won.
