Everyone knows that we spend a good deal of digital pixels extolling the need for everyone to practice safe sex.  Condoms are the surest bet to reduce risk when it comes to sex, especially sex with a new partner.  And we’ve done reports on fairly odd condom stories as well, like the Canadian University that was collecting used condoms to check out friction rates.

Now comes a story about decorative condoms with a surrealistic flair.  From Gizmodo:

“Ever wondered what a clown wears on his penis when he wants to practice safe sex with the bearded lady? A Wacky Rubber, that’s what.

Yes, Wacky Rubbers! Nothing instills confidence in the ability of a condom to prevent pregnancy and STDs like having a face painted on it and lights built into it.

Not only that, but these things are shaped as well. Ears, hats, stars — each of them has a definitely non-penile shape to it that makes very little sense to me. I’m not sure if it’d be better or worse if they accurately retained their shape while in use. Probably worse.”

We can’t comment on the quality of these, but they are a hoot and would likely make a great gag gift.  But we can comment on the quality of the condoms we sell and they are definitely worth the investment.  You can also add Condoms to your wish list of up to $1,000 in free sex toys in Ginger Leigh’s Fabulous Shopping Spree!
