Has anyone used them? 12 for a pound. How come they are so cheap? And are they more likely to tear?

    Interesting choice of word there. :p

    I wouldn't have thought so.

    They carry the BS Kitemark.

    I'm not sure but I bought a Poundland mallet and the end flew off and a Poundland disposable barbecue which went out after about five minutes. Make of that what you will.

    It might be worth checking the expiry date on the pack before buying. :D

    This is one of the things i would not buy from poundland lol !.

    For the benefit of your health ! and not getting someone pregnant the few extra quid for a durex is well worth it lol.

    even cheaper is to find your local gp's clinic that does family planning and they give them away so you can load up and they're normally of a good make so you won't need to check every stroke unless its your perversion

    Poundland buy up cancelled orders, overstocks etc. The products are fine.

    Obviously if it's cheap rubbish to begin with, like the mallet or disposable barbeque, then it'll still be rubbish when sold even cheaper by Poundland. However if it's an identical product to something you can buy for more elsewhere, there's no reason to suppose there will be anything different about it just because it's in Poundland.

    They're SafeX Condoms, which seem to be a reputable brand.

    They even make some specially for me. ;)

    Yeah! There the ones! We have been using them for a month now. Once it teared and couple of nights ago the tip broke off inside me and came out the next day. So i thought it was because they are cheap. I do put them on properly. No air. i use lube. Just dont know why it happens. And i dont know why but they are so hard to roll down compared to pasante ones which i got from family planning. But they only give 30 for three months and the queue is so long.

    And please no wise cracks or jokes. Really want some good advice so i know what to do next.

    Excuse me for being for being nosy, but curiosity got the better of me. :)

    Shouldn't that be "We have been using them for a month now"?

    My student son has regularly bought the ones in the green box called SURE. Just as safe and reliable as Durex.

    Omg thats nothing. i started this thread and i cant believe i wrote that previous post. What if sombody i know comes across it and works out who i am i would just die of humiliation lol

    And its great that some parents are teaching there kids about safe sex and protection. and they have that piece of mind that their child is responsible

    I had testicular torsion some while back and the quacks couldnt work out why I was in so much pain so sent me to a GUM unit. Aftr having a rod stuff up my pee bits and other nasty nasty tests they they finaly sorted me out with a operation to make sure my nuts didnt twist anymore .

    But my point is this, dont cheap out on condoms chaps... they are a barrier to having to sit there waiting with other tools with the Bancock drip in some depressing waiting room.
