A new condom brand called Fusion Condoms is trying to enter the British market. The two brothers who run a pharmacy in central London, essentially take on the high prices for condoms (prices in the UK are among the highest worldwide just after Ireland and the Netherlands).
The condoms, aimed predominantly at young women, will be sold at £1.99 for a three pack compared to about £3.50 for the Durex equivalent.
Update 8.7.08: The campaign had to be cancelled do to the problems mentioned in the text.
Finnish craft brewery and beverage manufacturer Mallaskoski and RFSU of Finland are offering a canned Gin Long Drink with a condom attached this summer. The condom is attached to the bottom of the can and covered with a plastic sticker seal saying “Enjoy with protection”.
The Gin Long Drink, that was originally invented for the Helsinki 1952 Olympic Games, is a very popular summer drink in Finland.
Funnily enough not everyone seems to enjoy this marketing campaign. Finland’s Product Control Agency finds Mallaskoski’s campaign questionable and has demanded an explanation.
As Zurich (my hometown) tops the quality of living survey for the seventh time in a row, I’d like to share my own “Condomunity Quality of Living 2008″ list.
There are 10 cities that have made the list this year because of various (and not always very important) reasons:
Last week we’ve exclusively reported about the spray-on condom. The interview had me wondering what else might be out there worth having a look at. The result is 60 innovative patents you shouldn’t miss.
If you missed the spray-on condom discussion you can have a look at these previous articles:
We’re very pleased to feature our first breaking news and world exclusivity and this interview about the spray-on condom. It was in the end of 2006 that the idea of a spray-on condom was first presented to the press.
Now, almost 18 months later and shortly before the scheduled release date we could speak with Jan Vinzenz Krause, the inventor of the spray-on condom and learned that:
Apart from the problems about the spray-on condom technique, we talked about a new technology, about embarking on a journey as an inventor and the future of the condom industry.

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:
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 as well as in the UK. ONE has come up with a slogan that says: “Next Generation Condoms”. Read on to find out why and if it’s true.
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.
Dear readers, I am currently relaunching this site. During that time there will be less posts and less time moderating comments. We'll be back on track in no time.
