Is the low rate of condom use really related to the time demands of putting one on? I've seen a few things like this and it seems rather more likely that any reason like that is dwarfed by cultural ones.
If this saves me say, 10 seconds, I'd love to say that it would add up over the course of a year...<p>But in reality, I'm probably saving about ten seconds a year.
This is hardly news. See the same video from 2006:<p><a href="http://www.yourdailymedia.com/video/watch/5462/" rel="nofollow">http://www.yourdailymedia.com/video/watch/5462/</a>
We were taught in school that you're supposed to squeeze the tip (of the condom) as you put it on, to allow room for the semen. Apparently this reduces chance of breakage.<p>I dont see any tip squeezing in this new application method.. thats a worry.
It's not the packaging that needs work, its the product. Popular forms of effective male pregnancy prevention are pretty limited. There really hasn't been any innovation in the field in a long time. Really we can launch people into space but we still have to put some sort of poly vinyl silicone sleeve on ding dongs? That's the best it gets?
all i need is a way to tell which way is "up". preferably a way that will also work in the dark, using one hand.<p>i'm sure there's statistically significant evidence of telepathic (in-)ability in the number of times i put the damn thing on upside down and then can't unroll it.<p>and easier opening packages. fix the basics already.
