Swanky or Spanky -- underwear with a built-in condom pocket
Filed under: Your Pregnancy, Mommy Musts
Not everyone is ready to have kids (or more kids, as the case may be). That doesn't mean, however, that they necessarily want to give up their social life. Enter Swanky or Spanky Limited, a british company started by a former social worker to promote a safe lifestyle. The company offers a line of underwear with a built-in pocket designed to hold a condom.Dawn Dines, the designer, wants to make safe-sex an easy and discrete choice for everyone with her new line of underwear. Available for both men and women, in a variety of styles, each pair has an appropriately sized pocket in the small of the back. Given that teenagers seem to be prone to having sex, these might make a positive gift, if you're an open and progressive parent. Or, they might just keep you from becoming one.

A brave Zac Efron went on “The Today Show” this morning to face the music on his infamous red carpet condom dropping moment at a kid's movie premiere. But he actually got off quite easy!
At “The Lorax” premiere it seemed like Zac Efron dropped a condom on the red carpet, in front of children, while cleaning out his pockets to pose for pictures.
This morning on “The Today Show” Matt Lauer asked him flat out if we all saw what we thought we saw. Zac smirks and admits that yes, it was a condom.

Uly said...Uh-huh.
Except that exposing condoms to heat makes them deteriorate, and exposing them to pressure makes them deteriorate, making them worthless. LESS than worthless, because you do things you wouldn't do if you knew you weren't protected.
One thing I heard time and time again in sex ed. classes was that it's a bad idea to stick a condom in your wallet in your back pocket - this seems worse.

Amanda said...aren't you not supposed to keep condoms in warm places, like pockets, for extended amounts of time?
Maybe its just and old wives tale but it seems like I remember hearing that the heat from your body over time compromises the integrity of the latex?

I used to carry an important book in a ziplock bag in my back pocket...the rash was awful.
Yeah, I know...you really wanted to know that!

SKL said...My first thought was, isn't it the style nowadays to let that part of your undies stick out? Why not just holler, "hey everyone, I've got a condom!"
I really don't think the idea is to protect when sex is an afterthought. These undies look so uncomfortable, the only time you would ever wear them would be if you KNEW you were going to do something. Someone just thought this was a cute idea. The niftiness is kind of lost on me, but so is thong underwear - along with no underwear - so what do I know?
