26 January 2009Condoms that fit like a… glove!
German sexual health teacher Jan Vinzenz Krause wanted to find just that: a perfect condom fit! So, he came up with a spray-on condom based on liquid latex. The name of his “baby”? The Jolly Joe!
We all know condoms. They cause interruption during sexual play. Rip open a pack, pick the condom out, “apply”. Never a perfect fit… or so we thought! Enters health teacher Jan Vinzenz Krause with the Jolly Joe condom!
The principle is simple: the user inserts his erected member into a plastic tube (left), that will then spray a thin layer of liquid latex from all directions. No wonder the inventor had a car-wash as inspiration! “I felt a little like MacGyver,” he comments on building the contraption. He continues about the numerous advantages to his spray-on condom: “The condom fits 100% perfectly, so the safety is much higher than a standard condom’s, and it feels more natural.” The latex used is in fact a mixture of pure latex and water, wich makes it break apart more easily after use.
The spray has now entered testing phase, and Jan Vinzenz already received some feedback on his invention. A few of the testers did not like having to stick their member in a tube. Others did not care for the noise the applier makes when spraying the latex. Most comments came from the 5 minute drying time, which seems an aweful long time in such a situation! A marketable solution would have to reduce that to a maximum of a few seconds.
Until the Jolly Joe gets applied faster, this product will probably remain a “hard” sell…
