WHAT’S SPECIAL ABOUT THE HEX DESIGN?

 

 

There’s a reason why honeycombs are the shape they are, and why snake scales move the way they do. It’s because hexagons are strong, symmetrical, and tessellate perfectly. They’re nature’s go-to shape for anything needing to be at once lightweight, and incredibly strong. That’s why the structure of Graphene – the thinnest, strongest material known to science is … you guessed it, hexagonal.

With 350 individual hexagons applied throughout each LELO HEX™, the condom’s surface tessellates and molds to the unique shape of the wearer. The result is a new feeling of intimacy and comfort never felt in condoms before.

 

STRUCTURE MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE

 

 

 

 

 

 

HEX™ is unique in that it combines a 0.055mm HEX™ web with ultra-thin 0.045mm latex panels for thinness and strength combined. So the HEX™ helps to channel unwanted stress through the structure itself while bringing you closer to your partner, safe in the knowledge that HEX™ has your back.

 

 

 

IT’S WHAT’S ON THE INSIDE THAT COUNTS

 

 

We’re all familiar with ribs and dots on condoms, but LELO’s engineers turned the application of texture on its head. There’s a reason wet weather tires in Formula 1 have a textured surface, while slick tires do not. It provides extra hold on the track and reduces the chances of slippage.

So that’s also why, unlike any condom before, HEX™ is covered with an internal hexagonal web. By having this web raised on the inside, not on the outside surface, HEX™ helps you and your partner enjoy each other fully, and with confidence.

 

 

A CONDOM THAT'S READY TO ROLL

 

 

 

 

LELO’s challenge was to make something radically different with a material already approved for condom use. We framed our project this way because people need to be having great, safe sex today, not 10 years from now. That’s why all the talk of new condoms, from graphene to hydrogel alternatives, have still to reach your store shelves. Talk is talk, but innovation is what really changes things.

Three years of research, and an additional four years of testing and refinement allowed us to produce and secure approval for the first limited batch of LELO HEX™ condoms for up to 10,000 backers. Now we're offering you the chance try it, to see and feel the difference.

 

 

 

 

 

ABOUT HEX APPEAL: THE GLOBAL LAUNCH

Launching on June 13^th 2016, HEX Appeal is a project to change the perception of condoms for good. It's about getting everyone excited about trying a next generation condom, one that’s structurally different from any that have come before. By backing here on Indiegogo, you're helping us show the condom industry that there is a demand for change, and people are interested in what HEX can offer.

Our goal with HEX Appeal is to reach a total of 10,000 backers to pledge to experience LELO HEX™ condoms in advance. If a critical mass of people start spreading the word about the game-changing benefits it has to offer, we might just drive innovation in this industry and change the image of condoms for good.
 

 

 

 

 

WHY HEX APPEAL IS IMPORTANT?

 

Never has there been a more important time to spread a message of great safe sex than today, when STIs are back on the rise and condom use is on the decline. Condoms remain the undisputed best defense against unwanted pregnancies and STIs, but usage rates are at an all-time low. 

To change the perception of condoms, we've changed the condom itself. Now we ask you to help prove people want such change in condoms, and help us turbocharge HEX to a store near you.

 

 

 

 

 

AND WHY CHARLIE SHEEN?

Charlie is one of the many people getting behind HEX™, but he’s a vitally important partner in this fight, since there is arguably no other person who can so personally and actively drive conversations on sexual health. 

As was the case upon Charlie’s announcement of his HIV condition in November 2015, conversations on condom usage and HIV shot up by as much as 400%, despite a steady decline in interest since 2006.

Since then, he has committed his time to working with the Elton John Foundation and medical trials to help people avoid contracting STIs, or help the ones that share his fate to cope with them better.

We know Charlie may be a divisive choice for many, but it's also a bold one, and in the fight against STIs we need to make an impact. 

Charlie  has the voice and character needed to drive global awareness on the issue, while LELO has the design and technology expertise to make change happen. By backing the HEX Appeal project as Charlie has, and committing to try HEX™ for yourself, we can potentially change the world of safe sex for good.
