condoms

UDZETA · #1 06-09-2002, 05:38 PM

I mean really how many different kinds of condoms are there? Like it has its own aisle now. I mean for real? I know that they are important but do people really need all those different kinds? And do different kinds REALLY do anything different? I just thought of this after reading a thread that brought up condoms. (So don't think I'm too weird!)

I just had to say...

I am endlessly amused by drugstores and grocery stores that label their aisles and put "family planning" on the aisle with the condoms. Obviously if you are buying condoms you are NOT planning to have a family anytime soon!

I know what they really mean, but it still makes me laugh.

I think the term "family planning" is kind of funny too for birth control, but in a way I guess it sort of makes sense.....like for me as in I am planning not to let my family get any larger!!!!! Ha ha!

The Krogers near my house keeps all condoms under lock and key in a glass case along with all the Mach 3 razor blades. I always think its kind of ironic how there stored right along with sharp metal objects.

"Rubbersoul"? Appropriate thread, right? I am sorry... I just couldn't resist.... LOL

Kevlar, why would they keep them locked up? I mean if people really wanna steal condoms, let them... That way at least we know that they're being safe.
I donno about your schools, but my school gives away condoms. You can either pick them up at the Health Center, or during Health Week, they pass them out, along with lubrication. (Just thought I should share that)

Has anyone ever seen candoms? It's soda insulators that look like condoms.

Something I find interesting is that the bookstore at my school, which also sells various hygenie products etc, doesn't sell condoms! They also stopped selling magazines this year too!

Our health center gave them away, too. I went there my freshman year for bronchitis and left with a paper bag stuffed with condoms because they insisted I take them!

The campus chapter of NOW also made these cute Valentine's Day cards every year and sold them in the student center for a week or so before Valentine's Day. When you opened them up they had (various colored) condoms in them. It was a clever idea & they always sold pretty well!

Oh, and a tip from a friend of mine.. those condoms that look like gold coins (is that what they're called... "Gold Coin"?) break easily, so stay away from them. I've never tested that statement, just passing it along for your benefit.

Georgetown didn't allow the sale of condoms on campus. . .something about Catholic identity. But people who were in H*yas for Choice gave them away. They were a non-university affiliated pro-choice organization.

My husband and I were getting a prescription filled and all the condoms are located in front of the pharmacy counter. We were picking them all up and reading the packages out loud...I think we made some of the customers uncomfortable and the people working in the pharmacy just gave us dirty looks. We thought it was funny that there were SO many different kinds.

The funniest thing is when my husband said, "If I turned the ribbed condoms inside out would that be selfish?"

That's the funniest thing I've ever heard! One nite me and 2 of my friends bought some flavored colored condoms. We were gona do something not-so-nice with them, and before we completed that we had to taste them... they were actually good!

I think it lay in the "Sharp objects (razors) next to condoms" portion of the thing
