]]> <![CDATA[]]> Clearly the Swedish penchant for practicality starts early. Too bad they're not exchange students who could submit the drawers as a cutting-edge 4-H Project. (Now THAT would be inventive.)

]]> <![CDATA[]]> @Jerseylicious: Heck, if conservatives totally ruled the world, teenagers won't even know what sex is, much less using/storing condoms.

It's good these Swede teens are conscious of safe sex, but this "invention" hardly merits a prize.

Speaking of inventions, what we need is someone to invent a condom or condom package that changes in color as it becomes ineffective or stale so we'll know when to chuck 'em.

]]> <![CDATA[]]> Condoms become more prone to breakage if stored in a warm place, such as next to a human body, so really they are selling little more than a false sense of safety. Stupid.

]]> <![CDATA[]]> There was a lady on "Dragon's Den" (The original UK show by that British guy who was on and produced that American Inventor show) who tried to get the Dragons to invest in this very product a while back.

They told her it was stupid and one of the female Dragons said that it would just mean that men would feel down a woman's pants and then assume she was "easy" if he felt a condom there. (I think they made male and female ones.) She did say that she didn't think that wearing those pants meant a woman was actually easy, then she implied that all men are scum or something...

Anywho, it has definitely been "invented" in the past, but I don't think it ever went into wide production or anything.

(But maybe it says it has been in the link in the story above. It is not working for me.)

]]> <![CDATA[]]> I've previously had no use for the little pee-flap in the front of my briefs, (it's two layers of elastic, overlapping fabric, and thus far too complicated for actual peeing when you can just pull em down at the front).. but OMG, now I realize it's perfect as a condom pocket.

The only prob is that any woman who is investigating my briefs is probably going to be taken aback when she finds a condom there.. and it sounds pokey, those packets have sharp edges sometimes.

B_boy

]]> <![CDATA[]]> 1. Mine was a thong

2. I think it's better than the condom in the jacket cuz that's a bit presumptuous. while if they are in his undies

TwiceShy

]]> <![CDATA[]]> Heat is horrible for condoms. They need to make the undies refrigerated. That way the sperm is nice and cool and healthy for when you actually want to use them.

femifister

]]> <![CDATA[]]> Great idea, though wouldn't the circular outline of the condom through your underwear/jeans make people think you have ringworm?

]]> <![CDATA[]]> @BlondeGrlz: Oh my god! Me too! That's what I was just about to write. Except I think it was still Contempo Casuals when I bought them. I used to use them to smuggle pills of E into clubs for my friends (because I was classy like that). They were awesome, and purple with hot pink edges.

Notes from the underwhelmed

]]> <![CDATA[]]> Sadly, las pantitas are the things that fly off my body the quickest when I know that coitus is imminent. I may still forget to have my fellow throw one on. "Hey, take my underwear from around your neck and grab that condom in that little pocket, right quick".

ULookinAtMyJunk is the Hate Mitigator

]]> <![CDATA[]]> Um, I remember being like 15 or something and having a thong that had a little pocket in the front that was only big enough to store one thing. Yeah. Not that revolutionary. But kudos to finally having panties for guys to do the same thing.

raleigh likes swaddling

]]> <![CDATA[]]> @KathrynwithaY loves Joan Collins: I somehow feel that if a guy has had the condom in his wallet long enough, his social skills will fail him and he won't make it to my bedroom (heh heh)...

Also, I'm married. So, with any self-control, just one guy in my bed from now on... ;-)

LaComtesse

]]> <![CDATA[]]> Imagine where Houdini kept his condoms.

Lady Skittlehattington

]]> <![CDATA[]]> @LaComtesse: At least the fanny pack would bring some safety to the bedroom...however, it would be a good way to screen and get rid of potential goobers. Fanny packs are always a red flag. So is hiding a possibly decades old condom in a wallet....there's gotta be a happy medium.

]]> <![CDATA[]]> @DorothyZbornak:I just saw that episode last Sunday. Freakin' HILARIOUS!
@hfree: I used to live with a Swedish boy. HOT. He also showed me pictures of his dad once and I was like GODDAMN!


Cuteasabutton

]]> <![CDATA[]]> Come to think of it, those Under Gear man-panties from yesterday really could use a condom pocket.

BeckySharper

]]> <![CDATA[]]> As to the ones for women, I worry enough about panty lines without needing to wonder whether my condom is showing. I'll stick with my purse.

ladycrumpet

]]> <![CDATA[]]> Meh, you still have to get them to put the damn thing on. If someone could invent a condom that can just be placed on and stay on for, like, years at a time--sorta like an IUD--then I'd be interested.

BeckySharper

]]> <![CDATA[]]> @DorothyZbornak: Jeez, lady. Did you just get out of prison?

DoNotStalk

]]> <![CDATA[]]> Yay for these kids, but it's rather ironic condidering the Sweden has one of the best child rearing systems in the world. Unmarried couple with children don't really see the need to get married because there's no economic or social benefit to it. Also, both parents get leave when a child is born. I'm not explaining myself well, but I was impressed by the number of hot dads I saw in Stockholm.

hfree

]]> <![CDATA[]]> Yay Swedes, but I'm sure that this was the slacker group in science class that made this as a joke, while the really industrious group of nerds that tried to do something with like, global warming, are sitting fuming in a corner.

vivresavie17

]]> <![CDATA[]]> @KathrynwithaY loves Joan Collins: Catch 22-- if you store your condom discreetly, there may be tears and I don't want to sleep with you. If you store your condoms safely in a fanny pack, I DEFINITELY don't want to sleep with you.

In the first case, there's a CHANCE you could get a disease or get pregnant. In the second chance, you're sure to be sleeping with a total goober.

LaComtesse

]]> <![CDATA[]]> @mocena: I think it's more of a "keep a condom in our wallet for 20 years" thing. Hopefully you'll be removing and changing your underwear at least ever 24 hours.

At least this way if your mom goes through your wallet for your social security card she won't find out about your loss of a V-Card.

Sunbunny

]]> <![CDATA[]]> @BlondeGrlz: If any store would carry undies with a pocket for a condom, it is so Wet Seal. I bet this year's version looks great paired with Heidiwood hoochie shorts.

theruraljuror

]]> <![CDATA[]]> Cheers for Swedish adults encouraging safe sex for their teens.

Jeers for Swedish adults for rewarding teens for "inventing" a pocket.

LaComtesse

]]> <![CDATA[]]> @mocena: You're right. Body heat for prolonged periods degrades the rubber, making it more likely to break or tear, or allowing semen to leech through.

I declare this a really shitty invention. Poorly researched. Sorry dudes.

couponwhore

]]> <![CDATA[]]> @mocena: The body heat will degrade the rubber, but the wallet will also eventually degrade the condom because the man usually puts the wallet in his back pocket and sits on it. Body heat, small tears, etc etc.

However, I don't know of any other convienent place to stash them...man purse? Fanny pack? Hmmm

KathrynwithaY loves Joan Collins

]]> <![CDATA[]]> Because pulling a condom from a jacket pocket is too taxing for men?

I'm sorry, but if he's that lazy do you want to have sex with him?

CreoleSugar

DorothyZbornak

Sorry, but condoms and Swedish names always make me think of that episode of GG.

ZippyTortoise

]]> <![CDATA[]]> those already exist! for women, as far as I remember, a few years ago the bikini with the pocket in front, especially for a condom.

dashenbka

]]> <![CDATA[]]> @mocena: That's what I was going to say....seems like a fundamentally flawed invention.

thenwemadeout

]]> <![CDATA[]]> @Jerseylicious: Sadly, you're probably right. Parents would throw a fit! Because, you know, acknowledging that condoms exist will make kids want to USE THEM!! I'm just glad that these kids live in a country where responsible thinking is rewarded.

SouthernSatine

]]> <![CDATA[]]> Dude, I owned panties that had a pocket for a condom in high school. I bought them at Wet Seal. Where's my damn award?

BlondeGrlz

]]> <![CDATA[]]> See, I would use that pocket for walking around the house in my undies and listening to my iPod. Just as useful!

]]> <![CDATA[]]> For once you can tell a guy that he's thinking with his dick and it will actually be a compliment.

brookidy

]]> <![CDATA[]]> I always thought that's what those side pockets in Roos were for. What else would fit in there?

katieb: in charge of the war on the poor.

]]> <![CDATA[]]> Um, why don't you just take it out of your jacket pocket and put it on, rather than taking it out of your underwear pocket and putting it on?
Oh well, congratulations, young Swedes. As long as you're using condoms, all is well.

ZippyTortoise

]]> <![CDATA[]]> All this has guaranteed is that there are going to be so many condoms going through the wash.

Jerseylicious

]]> <![CDATA[]]> I thought you weren't supposed to keep condoms in your wallet because body heat could degrade the rubber. Am I wrong?
