The new dissolvable condom: this is how it works

In new and exciting science news (!) researchers have had a break through and have invented a dissolvable condom.

That’s right. A condom. That dissolves… while it’s inside you.

Don’t worry, at first it didn’t sound like a particularly good idea to us either. There are many things that are notably great for their dissolvable properties – such as stitches, and Aspro Clear, and Listerine breath strips, and Berocca, and jelly crystals.

Condoms do not, and should not, have anything in common with the aforementioned items. They should stay VERY intact all the way from packet to penis to bin. SURELY.

But hold on just a moment because apparently these dissolving condoms are the way of the future. And are infinitely better than those regular, boring, glow-in-the-dark-but-insoluble condoms.

Researches at the University of Washington have created a HYPERCONDOM (imagine saying, “Honey did you remember to buy hypercondoms?”) that releases drugs to prevent both STD transmission and pregnancy as it dissolves.

University of Washington Professor Kim Woodrow said:

“Our dream is to create a product women can use to protect themselves from HIV infection and unintended pregnancy. It’s really about delivering them in a way that makes them more potent, and allows a woman to want to use it.”
