# CondomShot — the voice-controlled condom launcher

> Just say the word. CondomShot hears you, spins up, and launches a condom straight into your hand. Touchless. Effortless. Actually kind of fun.

CondomShot (originally **"Verhütungsschuss"** — German, roughly: "the contraception shot") is the world's first voice-controlled condom launcher: a smart condom dispenser for bars, clubs, hotels, universities, festivals, health centers and modern bedrooms.

**Status:** working prototype live · CE certification in progress · goal: 1,000 units in 18 months.
**Preorder:** open now at <https://condomshot.com/> — €69 preorder price (planned retail €89), reservation only, no payment today, pay on delivery.

## How it works

Prevention that feels like magic. We didn't moralize. We engineered.

1. **Say it** — a simple voice command in your language, e.g. *"abfeuern"*. No buttons, no searching, no awkward pause.
2. **It spins up** — the flywheel winds to full speed. You'll feel the moment build.
3. **Catch it** — a condom launches gently into the air, right into your hand. That's the "coolness factor".

### Features

- **Voice-controlled** — intuitive, multi-language, and completely touchless, for maximum hygiene and zero fumbling.
- **The coolness factor** — catching the shot mid-air turns a mood-killer into a moment. Protection people actually want to use.
- **Design & feedback** — a modern housing with LED lighting plus acoustic and visual cues that make every use feel premium.
- **Flexible** — wall-mounted or free-standing, adaptable for different condom sizes and types.
- **Tech** — Wi-Fi ESP32 electronics with a local web trigger; no microphone in the device — a voice-assistant shortcut (e.g. Siri) on your phone does the listening and calls the launcher over your own network.

## The problem: STIs are surging, condoms aren't keeping up

Safer sex is having a quiet crisis. Infections are climbing fast while condom use is falling.

- **1M+** new sexually transmitted infections **every day** (WHO)
- **374M** new curable STI cases **per year** (WHO, 2020)
- **+300%** gonorrhea in Europe, 2014–2023 (ECDC)
- **+100%** syphilis in Europe, 2014–2023 (ECDC)

Why the numbers climb:

1. **Behavior** — dating apps and more frequent partner changes have shifted how, and how often, people meet.
2. **Prevention gaps** — thin sex education and too few testing options mean infections go undetected too long.
3. **Condom fatigue** — condoms get written off as "uncool", "impractical", or a mood-killer, so usage keeps falling.
4. **Resistance** — antibiotic-resistant strains make infections harder and slower to treat.

## Where it lives

- **Bars & clubs** — make spontaneous decisions safe ones.
- **Universities** — grow an open, stigma-free prevention culture on campus.
- **Hotels & hostels** — a discreet, memorable service for guests.
- **Home** — a lifestyle object for the modern, smart-living bedroom.
- **Health centers** — low-barrier access in public and clinical settings.
- **Festivals & events** — mobile protection for temporary, high-energy crowds.

## The opportunity

- **$10B+** global condom market, growing toward smart health & lifestyle.
- **Thousands** of bars, clubs, hotels & campuses across the DACH region alone.
- **Mission:** make prevention accessible by design — turning safer sex from a hurdle into the obvious, effortless choice.
