A while ago we noticed that Astroglide had mistakenly revealed some number of their customers' contact information on the net. Apparently through some kind of snafu 250k names of those requesting free samples from Astroglide got exposed to a search spider.
We're happy to note that none of Condomania's customer information has ever been revealed publicly on the net and that when you do business with us your full contact information is held completely confident by our good team of condom professionals. We service a large number of celebs, sports stars, captains of industry, etc and they all remain with us because of our proven record of privacy and discretion.
So purchase your Astroglide lube from Condomania. You'll get the same fine product as anyone else and there won't be a worry about who might know what. We stake our reputation on it!

Sperm can survive for 3 or more days in a woman's reproductive tract. A
woman could have intercourse on Saturday, ovulate on Sunday, and get
pregnant on Monday!
Wow talk about Iron man. Survival of the fittest anyone?
This article by Rachel Swan is very informative in lots of ways about the condom market in general and Mayer Condoms specifically.
Here's an interesting one:
"We went and tested several boxes of their product. They had this
interesting language that claimed they were the thinnest condom in the
world ... based on what they called the mass method of measurement."
According to Mayer, this measurement standard is seldom used by
manufacturers. "What it is, you take your weight of your condom, divide
it by your length of your condom, divide it by some other things, and
it comes out with a calculated thickness."
I assume this is the same way you might inventory a stack of plastic bags. But using it to actually measure the thickness of a product seems pretty prone to errors. No wonder Mayer is dubious.
Here's the commercial mentioned at the top of the article.
Here's another interesting quote:
Some of Kimono's competitors make the same argument. "The thinner the condoms are, logically the more likely they are to break," said Brian Osterberg, president of condom-maker Intellx, whose said his company's shaped contraceptives represent "a new milestone" in condom-making. "There's two trains of thought here: Super-thin so that you feel through the latex, or a normal condom with oversized shapes that creates the ridges and folds, and that's what creates the friction. We turned upside down the idea that a superthin condom is the best."
Brian focuses on an alternate theory as to how to make a condom effective for sensual use. At Condomania we tell our customers there are two basic theories to achieving sensitivity with condoms: thinner latex or less constriction. Brian's firm sells a condom, the Inspiral, which exemplifies the latter tactic at enhancing the pleasure of using a condom. The head or top on the Inspiral condom is pretty roomy and makes for a perfect example of giving the glands as much free room as possible.
Now I think that Brian is being a little self serving by saying that thin condoms = breakage. That is quite simply nonsense. Technology allows for all sorts of things, such as airplanes which fly through the air, so it's not logical in that sense to say that thin condoms will break. But Brian is absolutely correct that folds and ridges can greatly enhance the condom experience. Some like the folds and ridges and some like the thinnest latex possible. I for one really appreciate a finely made thin condom such as the Kimono MicroThin but to each his own (although to be honest the Kimono MicroThin is too small for me).
The Washington Post is reporting that there are concerns about the quality of condoms in a current free condom initiative by the city of Washington DC.
Consumerist has the right take on it. "We would be remiss not to point out how cool the NYC subway condom is. It's free and cool looking, and as far as we know it doesn't explode in your purse."
"Efforts to slow global warming will never work if conservatives of all kinds keep blocking women's access to contraception", says William Laurance, a biologist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Balboa, Panama.
