Condoms in 'extra small' for boys age 12 set for Britain's shelves

[Alkaz]

Didn't someone say the length was the same as a normal condom just the width was 9mm smaller to fit someome who hadn't fully gone through puberty. @Robbie, surely its best for them to prevent it as much as they can if people are going to do it. Obviously the law stands but there will always be those who wont listen to it.

they ban adverts, tv programmes etc for apparently "advertising sex" to young people, yet now they make condoms for them? of course it's a stupid idea! yeah, it's an advantage for those who are 12 and having sex... but still, it's stupid.

This is insane!
I mean, it's good that they're providing protection for the obviously silly 12 year olds who are oblivious to the growing number of teenage pregnancy, yet at the same time, it's almost saying 'Yeah, we'll give you a good deal, you can keep the underage sex, but cut out the pregnancy!'
Why not roll out the wagon and remove the law for underage sex?! or whatever it is...

[-:Undertaker:-]

To add to the above comment from N-Dubz, we have banned fast food adverts and so on but selling condoms to 12 year olds? - hey no problem!

The nanny state as its best.

Well at least these 12 year olds will have prior experience putting them on and taking them off, if they've ever eaten a pepperami that is.

But, this is just a company saying that if they were to expand then they would come to the UK.... so why is everyone bringing the government into this.
It's better for them to be protected than not protected anyway

xtra 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.

Thats coz none are LOL
I don't like to think about that - Its like saying me having sex @ 11 horrid.

DID YOU KNOW - SCOTLAND HAS THE HIGHEST SALES OF THE EXTRA LARGE CONDOMS.

I don't really get the point of this considering you can get them in different sizes anyway. As for what a "standard" size was that got mentioned earlier in the thread, I'd be interested to know what brand they would call standard, seeing as how different brands do have different fits, and whilst Durex is probably the best known here the biggest European seller is Pasanté which are already significantly less girthy.

That aside, if a 12 year old is too immature/embarassed to buy condoms (or even go to a clinic and get them free) then there is no way they'll buy one specifically designed for a small penis. Can anyone really imagine someone who wants to be the height of cool waltzing into a chemist and asking for the mini condoms?

[,Lexiilu]

this is a good idea for protection but its ridiculous.

12 year olds shouldnt be having sex anyways tbh. but the governments should make more of an effort to stop them and SHOW THEM THE DANGERS. I know that after seeing STI pictures, I am scarred for life.

this would have saved me a lot of money on abortions when i was that age
