Designer Invents The One-Handed Condom Wrapper to Make Safe Sex Sexier

Yes ladies, trust a man to come up with such an invention...

Safe sex is smart sex, however, that being said when you’re in the heat of the moment, there’s nothing sexy about struggling with a condom wrapper. Yes, they’re awkward things but they’re a necessity if you want to keep yourself protected (and we always believe you should protect yourself).

Ladies, let’s just say that the following invention is only something that a man could think up. Actually, we had a bit of a giggle in the office when we heard about this.

A designer has decided that opening a condom wrapper should be a far more attractive affair than it actually is, which is why he’s come up with the ingenious idea of developing a special wrapper that can be opened with a flick of the thumb.

The result is less time spent fumbling with a bit of foil and more time spent fumbling with your partner instead (again, trust a man to come up with this idea…)

Will we soon be saying goodbye to the normal, tricky condom wrapper?

Anyway the new single-hand condom wrapper, the brain child of designer Ben Pawl, will go on show for the first time soon enough and contraceptive industry experts will have a gawk and see if it’s something they could buy into.

Speaking to the Metro, Pawle explained that originally, his one-handed condom wrapper was specially designed for hemiplegics – people who develop paralysis or weakness on one side of their bodies.

However, after speaking to a number of people, he now feels that it should be used in general to stop awkward condom-wrapper-opening from ruining the atmosphere of an otherwise romantic activity.

What do you think ladies? Easy-to-open condoms – are they a DO or a DON’T?
