The pollution bandage has evolved into the pollution zapper

Six years ago, I laid eyes on it for the first time Pollutant bandage.

It was the first night of CES 2020. In the corner of the CES Unveiled opening show, there was a lone booth. On a scattered table lay a mannequin with an exposed soft Ken doll. In that valley of white plastic was a makeshift bandage. Next to the mannequin was a laptop displaying slides about premature ejaculation. In one slide, a couple dressed in black and white sits disgruntled. The woman crossed her arms, upset. The man sits despondently with his head in his hands. The text accompanying this particular slide reads, “Premature ejaculation is the #1 male sexual dysfunction.”

The prototype product — the lubrication pad — doesn’t yet have an official name, but it was designed to stop premature ejaculation using electrodes that would delay orgasm.

This was CES silliness at its best, so I wrote about it. A week later, Morari’s CEO and founder, Jeff Bennett, She reached out to answer one of my burning questions: No, it does not hurt if a man with dirty hair has to remove it. A year later, Bennett sent me GIF That would burn your retina forever. I interviewed a beta tester who tried the Pollution Bandage. At the time, Bennett said they discovered something “unexpected” during testing. A year later, Jimmy Kimmel did just that Roast the product in its width.

Six years later, I saw the finished product and “tested” it. The pollution bandage has evolved into the pollution zapper. His name is Moore, he’s been approved by the FDA, and this unexpected discovery? It can also intensify ejaculation.

What took Moore so long to get to market?

The short answer: FDA approval. It took a year to develop the brand, another year and a half to collect data to submit to the FDA, and then another nine months for the FDA to review the data. The COVID-19 pandemic delayed things, and Morari had to seek two rounds of additional funding. The FDA also required more biocompatibility testing to ensure the device is safe to wear on the skin for a long time, which means testing it on animals. As it stands, Murari had to stick Moore on the rabbits to ensure the patch wouldn’t cause rashes or irritation.

“Those poor rabbits,” Bennett told me before explaining that the company finally received FDA approval in February 2025. “We had to put the patch on the rabbit; they had to stay on the rabbit for a while, and then every day, every few hours, someone had to look at it. We were hoping we wouldn’t have to do animal testing, but the FDA wanted to, and you can’t argue with that.”

FDA approval is no joke. It’s an expensive process that Bennett says “costs millions” and which he hopes to avoid by saying the device is a hygienic product. (Health products do not require FDA oversight because they are generally intended for self-instruction.) However, because the device’s primary method was to use electrical stimulation, the FDA insisted on seeing safety data.

He adds that FDA approval doesn’t just cover safety. It also ensures that the packaging is pressure tested. Data security and privacy are also components of FDA clearance.

“We decided to take the plunge and say, ‘Let’s make sure we check this box so that the market and doctors and consumers feel comfortable that it’s a safe product versus a health product,'” Bennett says, noting that ultimately he wanted the product to be considered something between a sex toy and a medical device that required a prescription.

The finished product is a far cry from the temporary bandage on a mannequin. For my demo, Bennett opened the actual box that the customer would receive. Moore arrives in a plain envelope and unmarked box. Inside is an electronic component called a “pulse generator” that powers the device. It’s rechargeable, reusable, lasts about two years, and has a Bluetooth chip — all the electronics needed to operate the device. There is a carrying case, charging cable and six individually sealed disposable patches. (The FDA insisted that the patches be single-use, Bennett says.) In the center of the patch is a hole for the pulse generator, and the adhesive is at the back. You can see different electrodes inside.

All of this comes with a starter package that costs around $300. After that, customers can purchase refills. Each patch costs about $15.

Bennett places a new patch on my forearm, inserts a charged pulse generator, and opens the accompanying app. There are two modes: one to delay ejaculation, and the other to intensify it. Orgasm intensification was not the initial goal, but was discovered during testing. The idea is that the electrical signal helps increase prostate contraction, leading to more powerful orgasms. However, these are different goals and require different approaches.

The experience is highly customizable. You can control the strength of the stun on a scale of one to 100. People prefer different strengths, Bennett says. I can feel a tingling sensation at the slightest position—which surprises Bennett, since it’s uncommon. Presumably it’s because my forearms don’t have a lot of body fat or hair. Sometimes, people may not feel anything until they are 25 or older, although it varies. The app also allows users to adjust the number of tapping times and triggering patterns. For safety reasons, users can also “lock” settings during use. If a particular set of settings works well, you can also save it as a preset.

The sensation is not painful at all. Instead of a shock, it feels more like a gentle vibration. I can also confirm that there is no harm in taking the device off. It is similar to washi tape or bandage that you take off and reapply several times. Bennett recommends that users avoid shaving their perineum and use clippers instead. Shaving can lead to jokes, and yThe situation may actually be painful when the electrical signal is applied.

When asked about the future, Bennett said Morari’s work is not finished yet. He wants to reduce the size of the patch and add more sensors that might allow him to automatically change settings to improve the experience. There’s no AI in the product at the moment, but Bennett says there’s potential to figure out which settings are right for an individual and then forget about the app component entirely. The company is also exploring ways to allow FSA and HSA funds to help with affordability. Bennett is also interested in determining whether the product can be adapted to help multiple species.

“Orgasm is a neurological response, whether male or female. There are a lot of anatomical differences between female and male, so the size and how it looks have to change, but we actually have some intellectual property that we’ve introduced around its use for female sexual health,” Bennett explains. One goal is to help women who may have difficulty achieving orgasm.

For now, Bennett really wants to spread awareness that a product like this exists. Ideally, he wants to encourage couples to seek more intimacy and push men with premature ejaculation to do something about it. He doesn’t mind if people make fun of the product as long as it helps spread the word.
