Translation for the condoms on the left:

Asiatic condoms

I have a suspicion about what they're trying to say by that, and it's racist AF.

Not sure exactly what they think their target demographic is for this washroom.

Sorry it's not really a meme, but I didn't know where else to post it, and I HAD to share.

So there is a Japanese condom brand called Kimono. They are one of the thinnest (latex) condoms in the world. The dispenser also says about thin so maybe that's it.

Though since they don't list brand, perhaps you are right, or they rely on people hearing something about it, but not knowing the brand and instead selling them some cheap chinese crap from alibaba.

That's mostly it. Mince in french could be translated to either slim or thin in english, and I believe it's the later in that situation.
