Six years ago, I first laid eyes upon the taint bandaid.
It was the first night of CES 2020. In a corner of the inaugural CES Unveiled showcase, there was a lonely booth. Upon a sparse table lay a mannequin with its smooth Ken doll gooch exposed. In that valley of white plastic was a crude bandage. Next to the mannequin was a laptop running a slideshow about premature ejaculation. On one slide, a couple in black and white sits disgruntled. The woman has her arms crossed, displeased. The man sits despairingly with his head in his hands. This particular slide’s accompanying text read “Premature ejaculation is the #1 male sexual dysfunction.”
The concept product — the taint bandaid — had no official name yet but was designed to stop premature ejaculation using electrodes that would delay orgasm.
This was CES absurdity at its finest, and so I wrote about it. A week later, Morari’s CEO and founder, Jeff Bennett, reached out to answer one of my burning questions: No, it does not hurt if a man with a hairy taint has to rip it off. A year later, Bennett sent me a GIF that will forever burn my retinas. I interviewed a beta tester who had tried the taint bandaid. At the time, Bennett teased that they had discovered something “unexpected” during testing. A year later, Jimmy Kimmel would roast the product on his show.
Six years later, I have seen and “tested” the final product. The taint bandaid has evolved into the taint zapper. It’s called Mor, has obtained FDA clearance, and that unexpected discovery? It can also intensify ejaculations.
What took Mor so long to come to market?
The short answer: FDA clearance. It took a year to develop the brand, another year and a half to gather data for submission to the FDA, and then the FDA took another nine months to review the data. The covid-19 pandemic delayed things, and Morari had to seek two rounds of additional financing. The FDA also required further biocompatibility testing to ensure the device was safe to wear on the skin for an extended period, which meant animal testing. As in, Morari had to stick Mor on bunnies to make sure the patch wouldn’t cause rashes or irritation.
“Those poor bunnies,” Bennett tells me just before explaining the company finally got FDA clearance in February 2025. “We had to put the patch on the bunny; they had to stay on the bunny for a period of time, and then every day, every few hours, someone would have to look at it. We were hopeful that we wouldn’t have to do animal testing, but the FDA wanted it, and you can’t argue with that.”
FDA clearance is no joke. It’s an expensive process that Bennett says “costs millions” and he hoped to avoid by arguing the device was a wellness product. (Wellness products don’t require FDA oversight as they’re generally for self-education.) However, because the device’s primary method was using electrical stimulation, the FDA insisted on seeing safety data.
FDA clearance, he adds, didn’t just cover safety either. It also involved ensuring the packaging was tested to withstand compression. Data security and privacy are also components of FDA clearance.
“We decided to bite the bullet and say, ‘Let’s make sure we check that box so that the market, clinicians and consumers can feel comfortable that it’s a safe product versus a wellness product,’” Bennett says, noting that ultimately he wanted the product to be considered something in between a sexual toy and a medical device that requires a prescription.
The final product is a far cry from a makeshift bandage on a mannequin. For my demo, Bennett unboxed the actual package a customer would receive. Mor arrives in a plain envelope and an unmarked box. Inside, there’s an electronic component called a “pulse generator” that powers the device. It’s rechargeable, reusable, lasts an estimated two years, and has a Bluetooth chip — all the electronics necessary to make the device work. There’s a carrying case, a charging cable, and six individually sealed, single-use patches. (The FDA, Bennett says, insisted that the patches be single use.) In the center of the patch is a slot for the pulse generator, and the adhesive is on the back. You can see various electrodes inside.
All this comes with the starter pack, which costs about $300. Afterward, customers can buy refill packs. Each patch costs about $15.
Bennett places a new patch on my forearm, slots in a charged pulse generator, and opens up the companion app. There are two modes: one to delay ejaculation, and one to intensify it. Orgasm intensification wasn’t the initial goal, but it was discovered during testing. The thought is that the electric signal helps further contract the prostate, leading to more powerful orgasms. Nevertheless, those are different goals and require different modes.
The experience is highly customizable. You can control the strength of the zaps from a scale of one to 100. Bennett says people will prefer different strengths. I can feel a tingling sensation on the lowest setting of one — something that surprises Bennett, as that’s uncommon. He supposes that’s because my forearm doesn’t contain much body fat or hair. Sometimes people may not feel anything until 25 or higher, though it varies. The app also allows users to adjust how frequently they’re zapped and the zapping patterns. For safety reasons, users can also “lock” settings during use. If there’s a particular combination of settings that works well, you can also save it as a preset.
The sensation isn’t painful at all. Instead of a shock, it feels more like a gentle vibration. I can also confirm it doesn’t hurt to take the device off. It’s similar to washi tape or a bandage that you’ve taken off and reapplied a few times. Bennett recommends that users avoid shaving their perineums and instead use clippers. Shaving could lead to nicks, and those might actually be painful when the electric signal is applied.
When asked about the future, Bennett says Morari’s work isn’t finished just yet. He wants to reduce the patch’s size and add more sensors that could allow it to automatically change settings to enhance the experience. There’s no AI in the product right now, but Bennett says there’s potential there to learn which settings work for an individual and then forget the app component completely. 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 genders.
“Orgasm is a neural response, whether it’s male or female. There’s a lot more anatomical variation between a female to a male, so the size and how it looks would have to be changed, but we actually have some IP that we filed around using it 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 further intimacy and push men suffering from premature ejaculation to do something about it. And he doesn’t mind if people poke fun at the product so long as it helps get the word out.
