Ok, it's official, weirdest product ever!



Fairtrade condoms.
Seriously!

There are lots of things that can be fairtrade and lots of things that can be made of rubber.
of all the fairtrade, rubber-based products in the world I never would have thought of Fairtrade condoms.
I'm quite environmentally minded but I can't say I've ever worried that my protection was eco friendly.

FYI, I was looking for fairtrade products when I found this, not condoms.

But... Why not?
Like, why is that so strange?




Now I'll play your ghost as my ace, whenever I'm led astray.
But I am actually good, can't help it if we're tilted.
I'm in my right place, don't be a downer.

I agree :)
Even condoms are made somewhere, the rubber and such they use has to be sourced somewhere; why not a farmer who is getting a fair deal for the products he is spending his livelihood producing?

I know it seems weird and almost extreme to start with, but when you really think about it, is it any weirder than companies paying farmers for their cotton for fair trade fashion or cocoa for the fair trade chocolate? :)

I agree, I think it's good, think about the masses of condoms that are made around the world, why not have a fair trade line.



Even as the stone of the fruit must break
that its heart may stand in the sun,
so must you know pain.

There are only two ways in which one can live their life. One is as though nothing is a miracle, the other is as though everything is.

Fairtrade is everywhere - why not condoms? I think it's pretty cool. I've seen a lot of weirder stuff around. :P

I think it's good that fair trade covers products like this that it perhaps wouldn't be expected to. It's not strange in my opinion.




Stop thinking about what I want, what he wants, what your parents want. What do you want?

I just laughed so hard I snorted like a sexy beast.

Going to check my local FT shop when I'm next in town to see if they stock them yet.

glow in the dark condoms are awesome!!!!
damn, thinking about them almost makes me want to bring my penis out of retirement......ummmmmm anyway.....you know apparently fairtrade stuff isnt as awesome as it sounds, like there are kids working on fairtrade certified farms and stuff. not that it isnt still better than non fairtrade stuff, but yeah, its nowhere near perfect.
