“14,250 residents…300,000 condoms”.
So, 20 per resident.
From what I've read previously, I'm not sure that's enough.
I imagine they're expecting some athletes to bring their own, free condoms tend to suck.
I also imagine some people will go without by choice.
you used to be able to get proper branded Durex condoms for free in health centres in the UK with flavoured and ribbed varieties if you were under 18.
Then the boomers complained and they changed it so you could only get the "extra safe" ones which made it so you could barely feel anything.
So naturally me and my gf at the time stopped using them entirely.
"it's more aerodynamic"
They are literally made in the exact same factory with the exact same material. The only difference is marketing and some custom molds for like, ribbed, ultra thin, etc. Almost all brands in the world share the same dozen or so factories.
Usually the lube isn't very good and they're the extra thicc kind that feel like fucking a milk carton.
I'm sure they're just as safe as the kind you buy at the store.
They run out every Olympics
They're Olympics branded condoms, people scoop them up as souvenirs.
“Only for Olympians!” sounds like a challenge of my stamina. Challenge accepted, condoms from 2012
