We've been racking our heads down here at condom central trying to figure out the difference between Manglide and Astroglide. Is one designed for men and the other for astral-projectors? Can any of our esteemed audience gives us the 411?
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 study 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 snugger fitting condoms just for you.

Jennifer at SheKnows takes notice of our Sizzling Body Candy. We might need to get ourselves one of those cloned willies! Wheee!
The Washington Post is reporting that there are concerns about the quality of condoms in a current free condom initiative by the city of Washington DC.
Consumerist has the right take on it. "We would be remiss not to point out how cool the NYC subway condom is. It's free and cool looking, and as far as we know it doesn't explode in your purse."
"Efforts to slow global warming will never work if conservatives of all kinds keep blocking women's access to contraception", says William Laurance, a biologist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Balboa, Panama.
We don't usually post press releases but this one seems appropriate.
Society is changing and, although levels of sexual activity have not altered much overall, people are becoming sexually active at an earlier age. This impacts on the teenage pregnancy rate, which is still the highest in Europe, and also on the occurrences of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), which are increasing at alarming rates. More education on STIs and more encouragement to use condoms, in particular, is currently a government target. This is boosting volume sales of condoms and encouraging more players to move into the sector, but revenue growth, as a whole, is currently on a downward curve within a
heavily discounted market. Manufacturers of condoms have attempted to redress the loss in value through expansion of condom ranges into areas such as lubricants and massagers.

Over at Art Condoms we took note of LifeStyles new campaign to get people's attention by pointing to Enrique Inlgesias' admittedly small penis and his problem getting condoms to fit it. Apparently the marketing department at LifeStyles figures he won't step up to the plate and model his LifeStyles condom clad penis.
Enrique's point is well taken. At Condomania our biggest seller by far is the Snugger Fit Sampler & the LifeStyles Snugger Fit condoms. As we've been saying for years: the industry does not serve the needs of the unusually large guy or the unusually small guy.
Okay so this site has been pretty static for about 4 months as we had a few technical issues which didn't rise to the top of the ole priority list. But things seem to be working again now and we're off. Meanwhile Condomania began a new blog at Art Condoms to explore the launch of our new condom project. Our webmaster has also finally brought back to life the long lost thought to be dead The Safer Sex Page.
Juliet,
I think I'm allergic to condoms. Every time I use them, even trying different brands, I get itchy and uncomfortable. What can I do?
