Collapsible Origami Condoms

The Origami Condom is a Clever Alternative to Regular Prophylactics

— April 11, 2013 — Naughty
We've seen a lot of clever condom designs since the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation announced their competition to design the better condom, but these origami condoms may be the most clever.

The origami condom design from the predictably called company ORIGAMI Condoms uses techniques that are normally used in the folded paper art form and brings it over to safer sex. The creators of the origami condom claim that their folded design not only is easier to put on than the normal design, but that the folded ridges cause increased stimulation for both partners. The designers have also come up with both male and female versions, as well as versions for the anus of both genders.

The origami condoms are currently being tested in clinical trials and likely a year or two away from commercial availability.
Trend Themes
1. Innovative Condom Designs - There is an opportunity for condom manufacturers to create new and unique condom designs, such as the Origami Condom, to improve user experience and encourage safer sex.
2. Origami-inspired Product Design - There is an opportunity for other industries to use origami techniques in their product designs to create more efficient and functional products.
3. Increased Interest in Sexual Health - The introduction of new, innovative condom designs can spark a conversation about sexual health and lead to an increased interest in safe sex practices.
Industry Implications
1. Sexual Wellness - Companies in the sexual wellness industry can take inspiration from the Origami Condom to come up with new and unique products that promote safe and enjoyable sexual experiences.
2. Paper and Packaging - The Origami Condom uses techniques that are normally used in the folded paper art form, which could inspire companies in the packaging industry to reconsider their design process and create more efficient and eco-friendly packaging.
3. Medical Supplies - Medical supply companies can take inspiration from the origami techniques used in the Origami Condom to create medical products that are more efficient, easier to use and potentially reduce the spread of diseases.
