Throw Back Post: Would You Use A Spray On Condom?

Condoms. They're a cheap, effective way of preventing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. They are also a lot less expensive than raising kids. Why screw with a good thing? Because we can put it in a spray can!

Or at least that's what Pratt Institute design student Michele Chu one day hopes to achieve with Girlplay, a condom company "aimed at bold and daring women."

Worryingly, no information has yet been offered about how to remove the sheath after use - nor has Chu assured her potential buyers of the condom's 100 per cent safety.

But to dispel any qualms and assure potential customers of her utmost professionalism, Chu has unveiled additional products in her Girlplay range, including the world's first 'smartbra'.

But whilst some of the products in the Girlplay range are just for fun, Chu sees real potential in her 'condom in a can'. "These spray-on condoms are made for the perfect fit, and function like spray-on bandages in the marketplace today," she says. Whether they will become commercially available remains to be seen.

The demand for ever more safe and sustainable condom technology has been on the rise in recent years. In 2013, a company from San Diego named Apex Medical Technologies won a $100,000 grant for their invention of an environmentally friendly sheath. Questionably, it was woven from reconstituted bovine tendons sourced from a Chinese supermarket.

One of the benefits of a spray-on condom, like Chu's, is that it eliminates the need for different 'sizes'. So unfortunate men would no longer have to suffer the embarrassment of buying XS small condoms (which are, sorrowfully, a thing).

Chu is continuing to refine her design, and hopes that the Girlplay range will be on sale within the year.

So my dearest readers, would you be adventurous enough to try the Spray On condom
