Anyone know where I can buy western-brand condoms in Bundang? I'd rather not order them and I can't get on base, so I was hoping there might be a Homeplus or a 7-11 or something near the yellow line that had Trojans, Lifestyles, something along those lines. Thanks!

I've seen Durex here and there in places like Homeplus and at a pharmacy.

I would be careful with buying condoms (even Durex) in Homeplus or family mart. Unless of course they are actual western quality manufactured.

The condom shop in Hongdae (I know it's not close to Bundang) stock great quality but you pay for them but its better to be safe than sorry

Your funny bone isn't necessarily bigger than everyone else's funny bone.

they're smallish (and I'm not John Holmes, just an average guy)

but that's not the worst problem.

the words, heavy galosh industrial rubber come to mind.

takes desensitization to new levels.

Thankfully I never get laid, so I don't need to reply to this thread.

what do condoms and getting laid in Korea have to do with one another?
Koreans don't like condoms.
Can't say I blame them.
The best thing I can think of saying about them is that at least sometimes they're a necessary evil.

Walk to the uni main gate, turn right, and look for Condomania on the left side of the road less than a block down.

Red Door in Itaewon sells Trojans, including Trojan Supra (polyurathane, not latex) for those worried about desensitization. To get there, walk away from the the station so Taco Bell is on your left and keep going. Look for a glass door with a red door frame about a block down on the left.


Mr. Smith, Durex is an intl. company with a reputation to uphold. When I don't use Trojan, Durex is 2nd best.
