Automatic Condom Fitter Unveiled (pic)

I think this sounds like a good idea. It is true that a lot of men (and women) don't really know how to correctly put on a condom. It isn't just important that you put one on but that you put it on the right way and keep it on.

Automatic condom fitter on display

An automatic condom fitter that allows condoms to be put on in a fraction of the time it usually takes is on display at the International Exhibition of Inventions.



Designed by inventor and businessmen Mor Maty Seck it has been such a success in his native Senegal that he is now selling it internationally, and has already had offers from European businessmen who want to team up to offer it in Europe.

Mr Seck said: "People don't like to talk about contraception but there are a lot of men who find condoms difficult to use, and it can be so embarrassing that the moment is completely lost.

"My auto condom fitter guarantees nothing more than a brief second's pause in the action, with a bit of practice the man's partner probably won't even notice that he had reached over and used his trusty auto condom fitter."

The device was one of more than a 1,000 inventions from 735 inventors that travelled to the fair in Geneva, Switzerland, from 42 different countries.

The other patents looking for investors ranged from ecological processes for cleaning boats without the need for a dry dock to safety crash helmets made of coconut-fibre.

More than 60,000 visitors have seen the fair, more than half of them being businessmen and investors.
