    Extra small condoms for boys as young as 12 could soon be on our shelves.

    The Hotshot condoms are going on sale in Switzerland after research found that not enough 12 to 14-year-old boys were having protected sex.

    The condoms are likely to end up on sale in Britain, said their manufacturer Lamprecht AG.


    Campaign: Extra small Hotshot condoms are being produced in Switzerland for boys as young as 12 (file picture)

    A spokesman said the UK would be ‘top priority’ if the company expanded abroad, considering it had the highest teenage pregnancy rate in Europe.

    Nysse Norballe said: ‘At the moment we are only producing the Hotshot in Switzerland.

    ‘But the UK is certainly a very attractive market since there is a very high rate of underage conception.’

    A standard condom has a diameter of 52mm in comparison with the Hotshot’s 45mm. Both are the same length – 190mm.

    According to a study of 13 to 20-year-olds, a quarter said that a standard condom was too large.

    Hilary Pannack, of teenage pregnancy charity Straight Talking Peer Education, said: ‘We know young people are having sex and if this is what it takes to protect them, we need to go along with it.’

    No self-respecting 12-year old impregnator will be caught dead in them. They should have stamped them XXXX Large in big red letters in order to increase take-up.

    But then I'd have to go back to the chemist and change em :confused:

    I predict this thread will be pretty much a dick swinging contest. Looking forward to it.

    might be like those collectable cards?
    Theres common ones, uncommon and rare ones?
    trade em with your friends!
    use the commons for the ugly girl from the street.
    save the uncommons for a posh hand shuffle!
    use the rares super duper bonus power to lower knock off "juicy" track suit bottoms of the unattainable (normally) bird of the young fellas choice!

    Reminds me of that guy who posted on a forum that the trojan johnnies were much to small for him and he couldn't fit both testicles in them.

    I'd google a link but I'm at work and god know what would come up if i google anything to do with any of this. lol

    Don't say you were being "sarcastic".

    Do what is usually done on AH and say "my post was meant to be ironic".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,822 ✭✭✭mailforkev


    As soon as I saw the title I just knew this had to have something to do with the Daily Mail.

    The kiddie johnnies will probably cause cancer or steal our jobs next.

    Wouldn't have made a difference to me, even at 12, i was still too big for an adult size condom.

    Yeah, but it's illegal to kill people and yet they still make bullet proof vests.

    Think about that for a minute!! :pac:

    I thought about that for the required 60 seconds.

    So, you're saying the kids would be taking part in drive-by shootings in the night if they didn't have the condoms for the riding?

    12-year-olds are having sex though - condoms for them or no condoms for them. It's not brilliant but it's a reality. I know this could be seen as only helping to reinforce the trend, but safe sex is more of a priority than not being seen to encourage sex among members of that age group.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,018 ✭✭✭Mike 1972


    This story appears in he Daily Mail therefore its probably a pile of poo

    I know it was subsequently proved he wasn't the father, but these could have saved him the bother.
