Here's a condom packaging suggestion for geeks. Ben Marsh and Julia Roach created a GameBoy themed condom packaging containing game-inspired condom wrappers.
The project was a creative project, created for their Graphic Design degree at Loughborough University. Best of all, these wrappers will be available to download soon.
Games are a popular theme when it comes to aids prevention campaigns. Please feel free to browse the earlier Catch the Sperm, Privates or Fable II.
Included in the GameBoy themed condom packaging there are the condom wrappers called
- Ribbed - The Long End of Zelda
- Heat - Dong
- Tingle - Bone Zone 2
- Thin - Super Mario Land of Love
- X Safe - Sextris
- Large - Donkey Shlong
The image below shows the various wrappers:
The illustration below was included in the package
as a printed leaflet:
Nice idea, great execution.

I love One Condoms (onecondoms.com). I think the unique package designs--they're round!--add to the experience of sex and make it sooo much less boring. Plus they have condoms that glow in the dark...which just about sums it up for me. I adore them.

The round shape actually makes so much sense, as it just reflects the form of what's inside. Too bad they're tough to open, maybe ONE could work on that. Nice designs, some very good ideas there.
Nice review, everything you need to know I guess.

these suck. I have had them split on me a few times. customer services are appalling and say that its my fault . Never had problems with any other brand
Feb 13, 2009 at 11:33 pm
Can't believe how difficult they were to open. Took me 20 minutes to get open, That was after using a knife. Not impressed at all.
Feb 24, 2009 at 2:31 am
Kane: ya so i tryed one out on my self lol and its glow and the dark strips, its not just all glow in the dark which is boring
Brandon: you tried it out on yourself? :)
oh kane,
but really? that's weird you would have thought for the extra price they could ahve made the whole thing glow...instead of a zebra penis.
Kane: ya well ive never thought of that but u can make the fully glow, u just have to hold a lamp up to ur penis wen its on then it glows the rest of it.....its only strips because its rolled up and wen u "charge it" lol its makes a zebra

One condoms are simply amazing. the act of buying and putting one on is interactive. One makes it fun to use condoms. check them out at onecondoms.com they have all kinds of styles, colors, and shapes!

One condoms suck..my girlfriend and i used one today and it broke!..not impressed at all..ive been using trojan for my entire sex life..and the first time i didnt, i used ONE..and it broke..definatly dont recommend them to anyone unless you want a pregnancy scare like im in the middle of now!
Jul 9, 2009 at 4:34 am
okay i tried this for my first time ever . a virgin. and it made me never want to do it again. it broke. i had a feeling it was sketchy
Jul 9, 2009 at 11:05 pm
Don't give up that easily, it's still the safest and cleverest protection out there ;)
Jul 21, 2009 at 7:08 pm
ONE is one of my now all time favorite brand! The wrappers are not only fun to look at, but aren't like the normale condom wrappers. They're alot easier to carry around. Not to mention the company is great with sexuall health, and getting out the word about safe sex! double bonus! The Street Team Is amazing. And it gives you the chance to earn awesome prizes!
Jul 26, 2009 at 9:18 pm
Bullshit it is..Amy, my advice is to use Trojan, i use them and it is the best condom out there..it hasnt failed me once, and ONE has 3 times now
Aug 27, 2009 at 2:21 am
To everyone that says these suck, you're sorely mistaken. of the hundreds of times i've used these, they've NEVER broken. and honestly, any idiot can open these, fyi, that was to Mr. 'i cant open these with a knife'... dumbass. trojans dry out and feel like shit after like 20 minutes and the lube they use smells terrible. these are by far the best condoms i've ever used.
Sep 22, 2009 at 1:04 am
I'm very experienced and skilled at condom use...and I've never had a condom break on (in) me before...I recently bought a box of ONE and I've had 3 of them break on me! They also don't unroll very smoothly...
the packaging images are fun...but condom breakage is not ONE bit of fun...
Oct 15, 2009 at 1:29 am
i had 2 of them break in a row.. do not buy them..
Dec 16, 2009 at 9:06 am
Ok so I have always been a Durex guy, but i saw One condoms the other day at the store and they looked pretty cool. Since the packaging looked pretty inventive I picked up the pack with a few different kinds in it and figured I'd give them a try... Big Mistake! Last night my girl and I broke 3 of them in about ten minutes, so i switched up to a Durex and everything was fine. Innovative packaging and cool designs but not the best quality rubber.
Dec 27, 2009 at 9:05 pm
shitty condoms. the one we chose ended up ripping during intercourse... safer sex heh?
Dec 29, 2009 at 2:54 pm
I don't know how well they work or if it was strong enough.
The round wrapper is very hard to open, especially if your hands are a little slippery. You need a corner to hang on to.
Jan 26, 2010 at 6:19 am
Wow i cant believe how many ppl say these have broken on...I've been using them for almost 2 years now n they are the best, never, ever had one break on me...unlike fuxin Trojans they dont wreak of latex rubber...and i think it depends on the person becuz i had 3 scares cuz trojans and durexes broke on me...so i guess everyone has diff experiences huh lol.
Either way I am absolutely in love with ONE Condoms, they feel AWESOME, never had a problem opening them, and i think they're reliable!! 5 stars all the way ;D
Feb 2, 2010 at 11:46 pm
These condoms are incredible. There packages are amazing in and of themselves. But personally i love the glow in the dark ones there always fun to use and just great quality.
Feb 24, 2010 at 12:46 am
One Condoms are my favorite. The fun designs and unique round packaging actually make me want to use protection. I love the travel cases they come in, too. They're guaranteed not to get poked or ruined if you keep them stored in the cases. I recommend these to anyone who's sexually active.
May 5, 2010 at 5:13 pm
ONE condoms are fabulous and fun! will definately continue buying these, although the wrappers definately need to be worked on! they have proved to be impossible to open!
May 19, 2010 at 3:47 am
I hear that ONE Condoms break all the time from people, I don't really know why because I've used them & I haven't had a problem. I've also used Trojan & Lifestyles and those didn't break either however. My favorite condom is probably still Trojan, but I have to admit ONE is a close 2nd.
May 26, 2010 at 8:08 am
Honestly it might be consumer's fault for breaking them lol no offense. I recently started using them and they are by far the greatest condoms i've ever bought. Feel great. work great, never broke, and give flare to sex. They give better room and feel MUCH better than other products. 5/5 stars for me. And my girlfriend LOVES THEM lol. I say go for em and if they dont work right, they do come with instructions! ha

I was originally attracted to ONE condom brand because of the momento opportunity with the designed wrappers as well as the handy box. The metal tin is great and will be useful in the future, however, the condoms themselves did NOT work well. Although I didn't have an issue opening the package, they didn't roll down easily whatsoever. It took all of a few minutes plus just to get something that should only take a minute on. Once we were able to get them properly placed, they were VERY tight. I'm sure they're smaller than Lifestyle, Trojan, and Rough Rider brand condoms.
Pros:
Awesome, useful box
Momento opportunity wrappers
Easy to open the package
Cons:
Didn't unroll
Too small

I've been using ONE condoms for about a year. I used to be a trojan girl until I had three trojan's break on me (grumbles..). ONE condoms are great! the wrappers are fun, unlike other brands, which either 1. look sterile and medical, or 2. are really, really tacky, and I've never had a single one break in a little over a year of use. the only problems i've encountered is their "super sensitive"-meaning the standard size- condom seems to be smaller then usual regular condoms, so some people have issues with the fit, and the wrapper is slightly harder to open then a regular condom package.
Aug 25, 2010 at 10:48 pm
I just bot my first pack of ONE condoms.... I guess I should have read this shit first.... IM ALL FREAKED OUT TO USE THEM NOW... I guess when I do I'll get back at ya lol =|
Aug 30, 2010 at 4:38 am
Why are you freaked out?! There's nothing to be worried about lol, people have weird condom experiences all the time - good & bad. You just have to try different types, brands, and sizes and see which ONE(s) work for you.
Sep 10, 2010 at 5:36 pm
I've never had any mishaps using Trojan brand condoms (which I've used for the entirety of my sex life). This is the first time using ONE brand condoms. Bought the variety pack and was excited to try out the different styles, but afraid to try the rest now. Tried the pleasure dome style first and it slipped off in me without my partner or myself feeling it. That's never happened to either of us before. We thought maybe it was just the pleasure dome style, so we used a colored sensations one for the next time and alas the same exact thing happened again. I know that different styles and sizes work for different people, but they seemed fine for a while as we would check. We did nothing different than usual. Definitely sticking to the trojan brand that I trust after this.
Sep 29, 2010 at 10:28 am
i like these condoms.... i dont think they have N-9 like other condoms... so I dont have an allergic reaction to them. havent had any break... in almost a year of using them with multipul partners.... lube sensitive? try these bad boys..
