spray-on condom |
2006-12-01 |
A German company plans to launch a spray-on condom tailor-made for all sizes. The Institute for Condom Consultancy is developing a type of spray can into which the man inserts his penis first. At the push of a button it is then coated in a rubber condom. "We're trying to develop the perfect condom for men that's suited to every size of penis," spokesman Jan Vinzenz Krause said. "We're very serious." Mr Krause says the product aims to help people enjoy better and safer sex lives. "It works by spraying on latex from nozzles on all sides," he said. "We call it the '360-degree procedure' - once round and from top to bottom. "It's a bit like a car wash." He says the plan is to make the product ready for use in about five seconds. Mr Krause says the spray-on condom would function more effectively as a contraceptive because it would fit better and not slip. But before the new condom can be sold in shops, the firm must ensure the latex is evenly spread when sprayed, as well as optimise the vulcanisation process. The company hopes the high-tech condom, which will be available in different strengths and colours, will be on the market by 2008. Mr Krause says the spray would probably cost about $30 as a one-off purchase. He says the latex cartridges, which are sufficient for up to 20 applications, would cost about $17. Mr Krause says he hit upon the idea when considering the difficulties some people faced using condoms and drew inspiration from spray-on plasters now used in medicine. |

#24 Well, if yah don't wanna have kids, just get a vasectomy for cryin' out loud. And in other news, I bet the latex spray really stinks, literally. Blech. And in other news after that, would anyone really want to use something that can irritate or plug the urethra? If it don't dissolve in water, that's what you've got. |

#20 Due to Bernoulli's law, most pressurized aerosol propellants exhibit pronounced endothermic properties upon release. While this might assist in congealing the latex veneer, the underlying *ahem* substrate is well-known for responding to cold conditions in a distinctly unwelcome fashion. |

#15 Hey GORT: what with the bad weather going on all over the country, shouldn't there be something in here about putting on studs and all? This would remedy .com's problem about lack of ribbing.. I think the Goodyear people are working on a redesign of the Blimp... Pardon the NASCAR metaphor, but if you are going to race at more than one track, I hope these guys have different compunds available for the different conditions encountered (big difference between Talledage and Bristol.....) and think of the spin off business opportunities: for that annoying slow leak: the SLIME people could even get involved. and Viagra would be in competition with the Fix-a-Flat folks... you've been a great crowd. no, really.... |

#12 1)I have a visual of this process being licensed. I would not want to buy the device from Firestone, lest i suffer from ply separation at an inopportune moment..... 2) And the michelin man grphic would need a re-do. 3) Is that a 205-R14 in your pocket or are you glad to see me? /goes and stands in a corner |

#7 Option for removal. Soak in acetone for three hours. Course it does cause shriveling. |

#6 Isn't vulcanization accomplished by application of extreme heat and pressure? Yes, that is my understanding. Just WHAT does this devilish device does to your naughty bits? Is it permanent? Is there any kind of plastic surgery available to try and salvage the remains? I'm not even sure I want to know. |

#5 There's nothing like pulling out your portable car wash-like device when that magic moment arrives to add a romantic touch to the occasion. Her: What's in that steamer trunk you're lugging around? Him: I'll show you, watch this. Her: Eeeeeekk! Get away from me you freak! Him: Don't run away, it'll be dry in just 20 minutes! |

#4 ... as well as optimise the vulcanisation process. Isn't vulcanization accomplished by application of extreme heat and pressure? If that's so, the user of said product may have no need to get back to his partner after applying the product. |

#3 No reservoir tip, no ribbing, no sale, lol. |

#2 Do you have to vulcanize afterward? Sounds painful. "It's a bit like a car wash." Right. Next time I go to a carwash, I'll unzip and... |
