Alternate uses for condoms
1. Balloon animals — these might not be the best for kids’ parties, but the bright colors lend themselves perfectly to this age-old party trick — try glow-in-the-dark condoms for a black light party.
2. Popsicles — you might want to rinse the lube off first, but if you fill them with juice, insert a stick and tie the end with string, you’ll have a frozen treat in a snap.
3. Waterproof your iPod — hey, if they can prevent unwanted pregnancies, why not keep your iPod dry in the rain?
4. Coin purse — holds your change and still lets you see how much you have.
5. Dessert toppings — replace the cherry on top of your banana split with an edible cherry flavored condom and you’re good to go.
6. Avoiding germs at the gym — can be slipped over exercise bike handles if you’re not sure just who was there before you.
7. Water balloons — fill with water and let fly.
8. Shower shoe — in case you forget your shower shoes, slip a couple of the jumbo-sized condoms onto your feet to help avoid unsightly foot fungus.
9. Haute Couture — Brazilian artist Adriana Bertini used condoms that failed quality control tests to design 16 outfits for Dress Up Against AIDS, all of which can be seen on her website.
