New ‘Consent Condom’ Requires 2 People to Open, Twitterati Criticise Saying it Won’t Prevent Rape

Consent Condom requires four hands to open the box with 'consent', Twitterati confused about the safety. Check out the reactions here

Condom companies are working hard with innovating ideas to promote their products. However, the latest experiment has received mix reactions. A company named Tulipan from Argentina has come up with a ‘consent condom’ that requires 2 people (four hands) to open its packaging. To open the pack, participants need to press four corners of the box together and unlock the condom. The idea is to encourage mutual consent. The brand’s Twitter handle posted a video that depicts how the “Consent Pack” works.

Tulipan company is a manufacturer of sex toys. Their package reads, ‘If it’s not a yes, it’s a no.’  The social media post reads as, “Only if there is consent, there is a pleasure. If it is not a YES, it’s NO,” and “Why this box can only be opened by two? Because this is how consent works in relationships. Everything has to be two.”

¿Por qué esta cajita solo se puede abrir de a dos? Porque así funciona el consentimiento en las relaciones. Todo tiene que ser de a dos. 🤚🤚 #PlacerConsentido

Este pack es tan simple de abrir como entender que si no te dice que sí, es no. #PlacerConsentido

Netizens, are in fact, divided on their opinion regarding the fact that ‘Consent Condom’ is safe or not. The practical results of the product may be doubtful.

Check out the reactions here:

1. I’m sure I could engineer a way to open it with two hands.
2. Few rapists bother with condoms.
3. What about revoking consent after the condom is open?

This is a great idea…but what if it’s two or more guys that want to gangrape a girl/guy? It doesn’t say the package needs actual consent. Just four hands.#BackToBlackboard

Tw: Sexual assault, SA

Given it’s Sexual Assault Awareness month I just wanna remind everyone that “stealthing” aka taking off your condom during sex without partner’s consent is indeed a form of sexual assault. I rarely see people discuss this form of violence, but it occurs.

Really? In most ‘no consent cases’ condoms aren’t used anyway. https://t.co/e9F4Jv7lyE

New “consent condom” package can only be opened by two people. Completely ignores the fact that people who don’t get consent won’t be buying the damn things. Oh, & by the way, consent CAN be revoked even AFTER the condom package is opened. Duhh. 🙄https://t.co/ng3JkfQFC9 pic.twitter.com/erJwRgCVSR

That’s really a unique and creative initiative. Although I am still unsure how it will prove to be a consent maker. But definitely a great idea to promote safe sex and acknowledge consent. 👌👫🙌https://t.co/vNQUotL1vT

Because rapists are going to worry about birth control. “Oh, sorry, guess I can’t rape you because you won’t help with the consent condom. Good day, ma’am”

Netizens are confused about whom to blame for this horrendous blunder.
