A swedish condom company has been sending test packs to those who ask for them ... including three different size condoms and a Condometer. What a good idea!

....and those RFSU condoms are good, too!

(I wonder what the condometer looks like though, oy. Any user from Sweden who can inquire about this?)

In any way, I am all for different sized condoms in all directions (i.e. smaller and bigger), even though I see a problem in marketing the smaller kinds (which are sometimes necessary): "snug fit" apparently works better than "XS condom". *lol*

RFSU is actually not just a condom company, but also an NGO that's part of the International PP federation.

Info on the RFSU condoms can be found right here; unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any info out there on the condometer...Hmpf. I shall enquire some more.
