Through innovations in the scientific community, it is now possible for people to have as much sexual pleasure as they want. Now, people do not have to worry about getting pregnant or contracting HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. Some of the birth control options that promote safer sex are pills and condoms.
Condoms are the cheapest and most convenient contraceptive method on the market. There is no age requirement to be able to buy one. Now, people can even choose to buy condoms online. But even with these benefits, some people still don’t buy a condom, exposing themselves to the risks of unprotected sex. With this, the Bill Gates Foundation has launched a contest for the redesign and development of the best condom on the market.
These are some of the ideas that led you to phase one. They were awarded a $ 100,000 grant for research and development. The best idea will win a staggering $ 1 million.
RAPIDOM PROJECT
Aside from the feeling one can get when wearing a condom, this project also prioritizes ease of use. Developed by a company in South America, proponents want a condom that can be used on a single bully after taking it out of the package.
GRAPHENE INCORPORATION
There are many comments about condoms online and most of them are about how men do not want to use them because the feeling is reduced. Lakshminarayanan Ragupatin from an Indian company would like to address this problem by developing a thinner and warmer condom. This can be done by incorporating graphene, a new super strong conductive material, into the product. This will create a more natural feel due to the thinner walls, which improves the amount of body heat transfer.
PERFECT FIT CONDOM
Cambridge Design Partnership UK is doing its best to create a low-cost, universal-fit, dynamic condom. The unique thing about your product is that when using the condom during intercourse, the multiple polymers it contains will tighten around the sexual organ. This is aimed at maximizing pleasure for both partners.
CONDOM WRAP
Among those who made the cut is the California Family Health Council’s big idea. Its concept is to make a condom as thin as possible without losing its durability. They’re testing polyethylene, which sticks to the surface instead of being squeezed. Therefore, the sensation intensifies.
Which of these ideas do you think will make the cut? What will make people buy condoms not only for marketing purposes but also to promote safe sex? While the search is still on to find the next generation condom, don’t be careless and always have a package hidden in your purse. As the saying goes, prevention is always better than cure.
