BOISE - Imagine you’re eagerly waiting for the coupon booklet to be handed out on your campus. You know there’s those condom coupons that entitle you to 20 percent off any purchase of $5 or more at the local condom store which come in very handy to at least 500-600 students every year. Not this [...]
Condom Lubricant Cures Acne
The most interesting news of the week are coming our way from Cambodia. The Number One Plus condom lubricant originally designed for sex workers and and gay men has apparently become a popular acne cure among Cambodian women.
The water-based lubricant produced by the health organisation Population Services International has become a real hit among female [...]
Condom Dispenser Zen
It’s time to have a look at the newest in condom dispenser art today. The “Don’t Panic” condom dispenser is a product by Brazilian designer Rafael Morgan. Currently the product is produced and available in South America only. However, if you feel like getting this object, you could -if you were the entrepreneurial-type-of-guy - profit [...]
Spray-on Condom Still Popular
The spray-on condom is just an incredibly popular invention. The world is first informed about the plans for such a condom on the 30th of November in 2006. The condom was supposed to be market ready in early summer 2008. That’s when we published an interview (May 30th 2008) with Jan Vinzenz Krause stating among [...]
Domino’s Pizza Night Box with Condoms
French Domino’s Pizza restaurants have sent out an interesting night box containing a music CD, a poster, a t-shirt and the good old condom along with the pizza. The action has already ended but I thought this was an interesting way of spreading awareness and doing marketing at the same time. The campaign was launched [...]
Quest: Improve Cheap Condoms, Expensive Condoms
I’m releasing an article on the main blog about the recent article Cheap Condoms, Expensive Condoms which was a short post about condom prices around the world. A few days later the improved version of the article was published on Environmental Graffiti which was very, very successful and read by 100 thousands of people. This [...]
Condom Ringtone
Spreading condom awareness over the mobile phone is a recent interesting Indian condom campaign by the BBC World Service Trust and the Bill and Melinda Gates’ Foundation.

Moment of Condom Use Zen: Action Movies
In a recent story we’ve heard that Capetown football players are using cheap condoms to secure their football socks. But the possibilities for condom use seem to be endless. Condoms can be used for the production of action movies too (and apparently they are used often and widely).
So what exactly are they used for in [...]
Condoms 95 Times More Cost-Effective than Circumcision
John Travis who became one of the leading figures in the wellness movement in 1975 has released some results of the findings of a new study today. The study, “The Cost to Circumcise Africa, compared the cost of male circumcision to the cost of lifetime distribution of free condoms in sub-Saharan Africa. Not surprisingly if [...]
Contex iCondom
The iCondom is around for quite some time now, but not everyone has seen it yet. It is a perfectly done viral with some smart ideas. It’s basically an iPhone spoof, but I can see that actually a design product isn’t a bad thing. Don’t come asking though where you can get this, because you [...]
Moment of Condom Use Zen: Football Socks
There are many creative uses for condoms, but here’s a newer one (at least I guess it’s new): Apparently Cape Town football players use them as a sort of rubber band to secure and keep up their football socks.

Control Powered by the Key to Reserva

Condomizing Jesse Helms’ House
It was in 1991 when the fight for AIDS funding in the US peaked. It is then when Sean Strub and six of his fellow activists of the “TAG7″ decided to “condomize” the house of US Senator Jesse Helms, a notorious opponent of safe-sex education and AIDS funding in the US.
They designed and ordered a [...]
Japanese Condoms Removed From Seoul Trains
The Seoul Metro had to take down about 200 japanese condom ads from Okamoto saying “Japan’s No. 1″. Apparently the takedown followed passenger complaints over the condom ads because of Korea’s recent territorial dispute with Japan over the Liancourt Rocks. [BBC NEWS]
Get Her/Him a Condom Rose
We know that certain rose colors carry specific symbolic meanings. What about condom branded roses though? I think there is nothing better you can do. Get the one you love a condom rose. This rose symbolically protects the one you love and shows that you care. The roses are made by Liane Swope and are [...]
Musical Condom - it Exists
The recently published 60+ Incredible Patents You Don’t Want to Miss get a short - but worthy addition. One of the patents was a force-sensitive, sound playing condom that never really went into production. The condom however got higly popular in the blogosphere for a short time. Now I found another musical condom that actually [...]
Could Coke Fight HIV in Africa?
Update 18. 7. 08: We’re joining forces with the “Coke For Condoms” initiative. I’m looking forward to help.
I’m just picking up a discussion from “thedebateclub” because I think it is an interesting approach. The basic idea goes like this:
Who doesn’t enjoy an ice cold bottle of Coca-Cola? Not many. Especially, the people of Africa, where [...]

Use Condoms for Climate Change
We’ve heard yesterday that using condoms is a good idea to avoid being sentenced in swiss courts. Today we got the condom topic from a different angle. Author Robert Engelman says that condoms can help save the planet in his new book “More: Population, Nature, and What Women Want“. Of course that’s not all there [...]
New Generation of Condoms
Recently we’ve been featuring a popular article about patents in the condom industry. I’m happy to report that some of the newer patent applications have made it to the stores and are pretty popular.

For anyone wanting to read a bit (a fair bit) about condoms, statistics, key players in the condom market etc. there now is a new 228 pages report to explore.
