Application time: Condoms need to applicated while under high time pressure, since the erection may fall with every second, especially when performing a delicate and unsexy technical task as is applying a condom. As stated in other answers here, a flimsy packaging needs to be opened without damaging the contents, the correct orientation needs to be ...

I want to challenge your descision to revoke their right to any kind of technical support for a service in exchange for being allowed access to beta or in-development features of said service. How are you going to evaluated those features if you do not have user feedback? Secondly, why don't you give them access to technical support? Is it for a principle ...

This may be a case of the more you make users work, the less they try. I believe when confronted with a task, like trying to understand some content on a page, users do a quick estimate on whether the effort will be worth it or not. Too often we present users with extensive content and clicking just to tell them something that they already know or don’t ...

If the condom is the wrong way around it won't roll on. Condoms are often stored for some time ...

That aside, I'd like to point you to the 'condomerie' in Amsterdam. It is a brick and mortar condom shop (with online presence) that has managed to turn the purchase experience of ...

Think of it in terms of experience design. The use case is evident (for normal intended usage, that is). Now, think of the user's cognitive faculties during the need of it. The base human needs trump the recently developed reasoning side of the brain. Imagine a frequent scenario, in the heat, due to reduced sound judgment, if the device (condom) does not ...

I see three areas in which condoms experience can be improved: Application - for some people it may be difficult to apply a condom, especially if it's a very first time they use it (so that they don't know how to apply it) or she has long nails, which may cause perforation. Improving this part of condom use experience could be quite important. Sexual ...
