Hotshots: Condoms for 12yr olds!

In Switzerland a condom called Hotshots has been produced specifically for 12 year old boys! The product is in response to research showing that 12-14 year olds were not using adequate protection while having sex. Studies are showing that people are having sex at younger ages.

The Hotshots cost around $7.85 for a 6 pack and are created by leading Swiss condom manufacturer Lamprecht AG. They are around 4.5cm in diameter which are smaller than the standard size condoms which measure around 5.2 cm.

At the moment they are only sold in Switzerland but, keep a look out as the manufacturer has indicated that they might consider exporting their product to other countries.

Condoms Australia will surely be on alert on any progress of Hotshots in Australia!
