I have been examining the Trojan Magnum XL today. Made some changes on the Condomania site related to that condom. It turns out that Johnny Depp was being considered for becoming a spokesperson on behalf of Trojan Condoms last year. I wonder if Johnny Depp's MySpace page has a Trojan Magnum design?
Researchers at Indiana University are doing a study on safer sex and baby boomer women. We are looking for baby boomer women (born between 1946-1964) who meet specific eligibility requirements to participate. For more information please click here.
Men worldwide are told this over and over. Most don't believe it but we know it to be true here at Condomania. The latest <a href="http://www.eastandard.net/print.php?id=1144012608&cid=349">study</a> to come from India shows that men there are a tad small compared to international standards. Don't worry guys we carry the smaller size <a href="http://secure.condomania.com/products.asp?dept=18">snugger fitting condoms</a> just for you.
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).
Not only are Obama and McCain represented, but, more appropriately, so are Bill Clinton and John F. Kennedy. Sadly, they don’t protect against the hot air spewing from Bill O’Reilly and Keith Olbermann.
Last week we found ourselves with a new queer little product called the Durex Quiver Freezable Lubricant. I haven't had a chance to use it yet but it certainly is curious and has me very interested. We tried to photograph the little spheres of lube but it proved to be very difficult. Let's hope soon we can get something up for you.
