Hello out there!

As of today condomunity finally works on wordpress and I’d like to call this the official start and say: We’re out of beta! From now on there will be regular content and information about condoms and blogging. There are a few things I would like to bring to your attention:

• 1. Sister site
  We now have a german sister site blogging about “Kondome“.

Today we’re publishing our second condom brand review for you. We call this series of articles “condoms design showcase” and we’re concentrating on the condom brand personality and what they have to offer you. We’re not only reviewing brands, but offering the possibilty to give you a voice too. You can add your own experiences, ask questions and help others out.

So today it’s ONE Condoms‘ turn. I’m especially happy to present ONE this early in the lifespan of this blog because it is a very interesting and innovative brand. So far ONE are home in the US, Canada, Iceland and Norway. ONE has come up with a slogan that says: “Next Generation Condoms”. Read on to find out why and if it’s true.

You can also take a look at our previous article

• Design Showcase: The Hot Rubber reviews a swiss brand with a refreshing fair trade plus asian philosophy concept.

When you search for the term “buy condoms online” in google you get about 184.000 results. We’ve filtered these results for you by taking their site traffic, their offering and overall impression into account. The list is intentionally limited to specialized condom retailers, because they are able to help you out best with your needs and questions. Often you’ll also find guidelines and condom size charts.

We’re not affiliated with any of these stores, but keep in mind that this could change over time and when it does you can check here which stores we trust. This will make sure you can get a product we review!

As we’ve reported earlier on twitter the Brazilian government has begun making condoms using rubber from trees in the Amazon. According to BBC News Online and the Brazilian health ministry this will help to preserve the largest rainforest in the world.

The move doesn’t come as a surprise. Brazil has been importing condoms largely in recent years to give away free as a part of the country’s national campaign to combat Aids. The health ministry has just handed out 10 million free condoms for the Carnival festivities.

The new state-run factory will initially produce 100 million condoms a year. Although this policy has been often criticised by the Catholic Church, Brazilian bishops may recognize the necessity of it soon.

Update 29. 5. 2008: We’ve finished moving and are now getting out of “beta”.

Dear condomunity readers. As you may have realised we’re busy moving this blog to wordpress. There are a few things that won’t work properly for a short period of time. We will be back on track soon. Thanks for your understanding and patience! If you find things, please feel free to comment in this post.

This is a short unboxing sequence of ONE Condoms. It shows how to open the ONE box and what’s inside. This is a part of our upcoming design showcase about ONE Condoms.

This video has been buzzing on youtube for month. It is basically a condom application video in a typical South Indian song and dance routine. This public awareness campaign has won a United Nations award for excellence in campaigns that tackle priority issues being agitated by the world body.[Source]

What a date today, one just has to post! This is a music video by Kaye Styles with quite a honorable message. For those who can’t see it, here’s the link to youtube.

Via DAA. Thanks Javier!

I am happy to present the first post in our “Design Showcase” series. I always felt that finding the right brand for your needs is strongly connected with the personality of the condom brand. It’s also interesting to see what kind of condoms you will find in other countries or regions. As an example read the The Top 10 Weirdest and Funniest Japanese Condoms.

The series will help you discover the various products out there (with their up- and downsides) in a fun way. It will also help you find your personal favorites, which normally wouldn’t be available at your local drugstore (and you didn’t know even existed). To see the summary head all the way down.

The Hot Rubber is a swiss brand, which recently completely relaunched their whole appearance:
old product family

new style and fair trade concept with 5 elements: water, fire, wood, earth, metal
