Welcome to the world of sex! They've had them out for quite a long time now.

I wasn't pleased, either, but better than the local brands for sure. They're like Energizer batteries compared to those damn Rocket batteries.

I wouldn't buy them from Family Mart - much cheaper to get them from a pharmacy.

and if you buy them, is it going to be their fall line or old summer stock?

In a long-ago thread, someone said Trojans were available in Seoul. Is this true, and where?

You put on underwear ...

You put on a condom

i guess a condom is a piece of clothing for a specific action, just like costumes.

I wonder what the advertising campaign will be? Will they take their "United Colors" approach and use images of African AIDS sufferers to sell their rubbers?

I remember they used pictures of American death row inmates in one of their ad camaigns and caused a big stir. A vague sort of activism is part of their whole image. For years I thought they sold insurance or something.

Exactly the point I was getting at.

used 'em. didn't like 'em. couldn't even get the damn things on. it's like they were rolled up two opposite ways and you had to unroll from the underside after getting the thing halfway on.

a real buzzkill but so's HIV i guess.

Coincidentally, I have a really nifty pair of Trojan cross-trainers.

I remember seeing an ad in Germany or the Netherlands back in the 90's that had different colored condoms as part of the United Colors campaign. -Jeff
