A condom. In a package. With a tab. You pull on it. It opens smoothly.
No hesitating, no opening with your teeth, no tearing.
Above all: the condom comes out the right way up. Every. Single. Time.
It sounds super simple, but we’ve been waiting for this for so many years.
Why is this a revolutionary innovation?
The failure rate usually cited for condoms (2%)¹ reflects perfect use. Our cross-analysis of available data suggests that in real-world conditions, it could be up to 10 times higher.
Sure, it’s convenient. But it’s much more than that.
With over 23 billion condoms used yearly worldwide¹, and as many as one in five² may be used incorrectly (put on upside down, flipped over, torn, removed and not replaced), the risk of STI transmission and unwanted pregnancies is considerable.
Nearly 90% of users have, at least once, given up on using a condom because they failed to unwrap and put it on in time.*
30% of users put the condom on inside out and then flip it over.¹
37% report feeling "stress" associated with putting on the condom.

Cross analysis of available studies
Just because of a packaging problem!
For decades, we have focused on product improvements—textures, lubricants, and materials. Yet we have overlooked packaging—and especially the unpacking experience—failing to ensure a seamless, trouble-free action that doesn't interrupt the moment.
That is precisely what Rodilo does. →
How important is packaging ?
Everyone remembers the change in beverage can openings in the 1980s. Industry switched from a pull-tab model that detached from the can and split into two sharp and cutting pieces, to the current stay-tab model that remains attached. World production shifted in just a few years, and a massive-scale injury and pollution issue was solved.
Condoms present a similar challenge—with the added factor of STIs—and it is the process of unwrapping, rather than the packaging itself, that determines success or failure.
The Rodilo mechanism: packaging answering your remarks and solves your usage problems :
It opens properly;
Presents the condom the right way up;
Prevents it from dropping;
and allows it to be removed while pinching the reservoir (thereby expelling air, a common cause of breakage).
The result: the condom is ready to be unrolled correctly, without error, on the very first attempt, with no anxiety.
