great way to get product you can’t find locally… …OR… …asking for sub-standard, even defective product and being added to hundreds of unwanted mailing lists? -rainy ---

Even if this is a perfectly legitimate business, who knows what heat and stuff the condoms will be exposed to on the way to be delivered. Plus, you don’t _know_ the company. It’s too important of a thing to risk, IMO. ---

Who knows? Maybe they are selling a pre-owned product. :eek: ---

It’s too important of a thing to risk, IMO. Condoms have to be delivered to the drugstore, too, right? Wouldn’t the same thing apply? ---

[Condomania.](http://www.condomania.com/) Back before I got married, this was my supplier. Never a problem, never a failure. My personal favorite: Kimono Ultra-Thin. 😃 ---

Ripnroll.com is another good one. I’m a big fan of the Trojan twisted pleasure ones (and so is my girlfriend!) ---

My brother just revealed to me that he buys them from [drugstore.com](http://drugstore.com) because it’s alot cheaper. He got this box in the mail and since I couldn’t see all that well I thought it had “ideastream TM” on the side which is something related to the local PBS station and I was like “whatcha get?” thinking maybe he ordered a documentary or something and he said “condoms” and I was quite confused until he admitted they were cheaper at “[drugstore.com](http://drugstore.com)” (which is what the box said). ---

[Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com) also has great prices on name-brand condoms. I’ve made a purchase or two there, just for the savings.
