'''Pronto''' [[condom]]s |
'''Pronto''' [[condom]]s are a brand of sheath being released in [[South Africa]], designed by Willem van Rensburg. The outside protective packaging acts as the condom applicator as well, which reduces the time needed to use the condom. The designer was inspired to create a new style of condom because, according to him, people find the slow process of applying a condom is "a passion-killer and they're willing to take their chances."

van Rensburg launched a few introductory videos on [[YouTube]] which became viral. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYYaZb1AlCg Sample video]</ref> |

The first thoughts were really optimistic, however some guys had problems opening the condom package, therefore the official launch was intermitted. Thanks to the [[Bill & Melinda Gates foundation]] the company got extra funding to relaunch the condom with a brand-new design which makes it easier to open the pack and apply the condom. |

In 2016, they were looking for additional financing through Indiegogo but failed, the campaign is closed.<ref>[https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/pronto-the-world-s-first-self-unrolling-condom#/ PRONTO: THE WORLD'S FIRST SELF-UNROLLING CONDOM!], Indiegogo.com.</ref> |

Pronto condoms are a brand of sheath being released in South Africa, designed by Willem van Rensburg. The outside protective packaging acts as the condom applicator as well, which reduces the time needed to use the condom. The designer was inspired to create a new style of condom because, according to him, people find the slow process of applying a condom is "a passion-killer and they're willing to take their chances." (with reference to unprotected sex).[1]
