I think this recall is a year old.........
it only affected non-latex ones anyway, and only then if close to expiry
do you keep condoms that long?

did that once at the rugby club using old-fashioned reusables
told the kids they were extra strong puncture proof.........took a couple of hours for the mothers to realise what they were, then we got battered with umbrellas

At least they recall them now!

I don't have a birth certificate..... I have an apology letter from Durex!!

No! I was hoping that no-one would spot me though

I suppose in this case "Real Feel" is a literal description of the product (after it breaks),  and not just some clever name thought up by a marketer

Was that what it was ?? 

Being serious.....I was doing some research on condom strength and it seems to me that the failure rate is far higher than I would have initially thought. The figures I've seen, Google etc helped with the research, came up with a 2 to 3% "mechanical" failure rate where the condom physically ruptured/burst/split.
