Extra-small condoms 'Hotshot' ready for 12-year-olds

Wow! what is this world turning into? Extra small condoms.. hmmm
In the wake of country's high rate of youth sex, a leading condom manufacturer in Switzerland has created an extra-small condom aimed specifically at the youngest of sexually active men.

Now recognized as a global threat, the HIV epidemic is growing, and efforts to fight it need to grow at an even greater rate if they are to be successful.
Condoms play a key role in preventing HIV infection around the world. Working on this strategy, a leading condom manufacturer in Switzerland has created extra-small condoms for boys as young as 12-years-old.

Now, Switzerland has probably become the first country in the world to sell extra small condoms for 12 year olds. The condom, called the Hotshot, is being sold in Swiss markets with the slogan, "it fits when passion hits" to boys between 12 and 14 years old. The Hotshot, which is smaller than the average condom, is made by the Swiss manufacturer Lamprecht AG. The prophylactic was developed after a study showed young teens were regularly engaging in unprotected sex, not using proper protection when engaging in intercourse.
