A condom manufacturer in Switzerland has created extra-small condoms for boys as young as 12 years old, the U.K.’s Daily Telegraph reported.
Swiss family planning groups urged the manufacture of the kid-sized condoms and after studies showed that many adolescent boys were having sex without protection.
"The result that shocked us concerned young boys who display apparently risky behavior,” Nancy Bodmer, who headed the research, told the newspaper. “They have more of a tendency not to protect themselves. They do not have a very developed sexual knowledge. They do not understand the consequences of what they are doing and leave the young girls to take care of the consequences.”
The condom, called the Hotshot, has a diameter of 1.7 inches. A standard condom is two inches in diameter.
