A company is making smaller ‘bespoke’ condoms for American men, since the average size of 6.69 inches is too big.
Recent CDC figures on condom use revealed just a third of single men use the rubber protection, and one of the most common reasons for non-users is that they ‘slip off’.
Indeed, a study by Indiana University on almost 2,000 men revealed the average length is 5.57 inches – about an inch shorter than the standard condom size.
Now the Food and Drug Administration, which regulates health industry standards, has conceded that there is a need for smaller condoms in a desperate bid to lower the rates of sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies.
The agency has made a policy change to allow manufacturing companies to make condoms of all sizes.
