Yes, We'd Like A Lifetime Supply of Pronto Condoms, Please

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

This post is about to change your (sex) life...

Are you, like us Scanner bloggers, not so secretly bitter about how much condoms ruin the mood, with their thin and therefore dangerous packaging, painful and epic unrolling process, and so on? Then prepare to have your mind and your wad blown...

Our first reaction: fake! Second reaction: That must rip 4 out of 5 times. And a YouTube commenter, who is either speaking from experience or a troll for Trojan and other panic-stricken condom makers, warns us that that our fears are not unfounded:

Inginitto (1 month ago) 

where can i order those online?
 
weissgyz (1 month ago) 

Don't order them, they rip so easy.
 
Well, maybe the revolution hasn't arrived after all. In any case, these are only available in South Africa, so no use in getting all hot and bothered about them anyway... (Disclaimer: By the way, please continue to practice safe sex even if you think someone should invent a perfected model of rubber ASAP.)
 
Via Pronto Condoms.

I taught HIV/ AIDS prevention education last year and we were sent a (small) box of Pronto. One of my co-workers had a similar job the year before in Joburg and requested some for us to try/ possibly use as a teaching resource. The kids all marveled at them, of course, but became enraged when we didn't give them any. My friend was a real dick about it (no pun intended) and only gave me one to "use at my own discretion". I still have it.

Anyway, they're really great and were developed in an attempt to curb the rising HIV/ AIDS rate in S. Africa.
