Extra Small Condoms For 12-Year-Olds"},"content":{"rendered":"

Can you see this happening in America? Alexandra Williams reports that extra small condoms for boys as young as 12 are going on sale in Switzerland, in the Telegraph<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Called the Hotshot, the condom has been produced after government<\/a> research showed 12 to14-year-olds did not use sufficient protection when having sex.<\/p>\n

The study, conducted on behalf of the Federal Commission for Children and Youth, interviewed 1,480 people aged 10 to 20. It showed more 12 to 14-year-olds were having sex, in comparison with the 1990s.<\/p>\n

The Hotshot condoms, which cost 7fr60 (\u00a34.70) for a packet of six, have been created by Lamprecht AG, a leading condom manufacturer in Switzerland. The company has said the UK<\/a> would be \u201ctop priority\u201d if they expanded abroad, considering that it has the highest teenage pregnancy rate in Europe.<\/p>\n

Nysse Norballe, a spokesman for the company, said: \u201cAt the moment we are only producing the Hotshot in Switzerland. But the UK<\/a> is certainly a very attractive market since there is a very high rate of underage conception. The UK<\/a> would definitely be top priority if we marketed abroad.\u201d<\/p>\n

A standard condom has a diameter of 2ins (5.2cm) in comparison with the Hotshot\u2019s diameter of 1.7ins (4.5cm). Both are the same length \u2013 7.4ins (19cm). According to a German study of 12,970 13 to 20-year-olds, a quarter said a standard condom was too large\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
