Condoms quickly removed shortened

A South African inventor claims to have created a new condom to help solve the embarrassing difficulty every time the user intends to " wear a raincoat ". With the new product, the operation time is less than 3 seconds.

Willem van Rensburg in Cape Town said: " It is uncomfortable to use regular condoms. You have to take the shreds and find a way to get in. When you are able to wear them, the mood has halved ."

The new condom named Pronto is worn without removing it from the case. The shell was split in the middle, on both sides of the shell attached to the condom and the user simply inserted it into it, then stripped off the shell and discarded it.

" If it is slow, it will take you less than 3 seconds. If it is fast, it will be only 1 shot," said Roelf Mulder, partner of Van Rensburg. He explained that the shell had tiny soft hooks that flipped the condom inside out when it was inserted.

According to Mulder, new products also prevent sexually transmitted infections better, since traditional condoms are often contaminated when customers use the wrong face and have to turn around to use it.

Condoms Pronto won the South African Bureau of Standards design award in 2002. The product has been available in the South African market this week at the same price as traditional condoms. The authors said Pronto will be brought to other markets in the near future.
