07 March 2010 [12:00] - Today.Az
A Swiss company has reportedly launched an extra-small condom especially aimed at 12 to 14-year-old boys.
According to The Daily Telegraph, manufacturer Lamprecht created the Hotshot product following government research showing that underage boys are not using protection while having sex.
Company spokesman 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. The UK would definitely be top priority if we marketed abroad."
While the condom has a standard length of 19cm, its diameter is 4.5cm compared to the regular 5.2cm.
The Hotshot has reportedly been supported by family planning groups and the Swiss Aids Federation following a number of studies into underage sex and contraception.
