Hey dude, do you support the recycling programme? If you do, you should get some of these hair bands that’s made from used condom. It is said that it’s made in China, but I’m not sure. So if you are from China or will be travelling to China, peek at those girlish stalls and see if there’s any condom rubber band.
Done, looks good huh?

Wondering where they collect those condoms from.
hahaa.. Vincent, there are two questions here. Who is able to collect all the used goods and who is gutsy enough to use them.hahaha..
Well, I don’t think the seller will inform them that it is made of condoms. Bout from where they collect it, I have no idea. Maybe they use those condoms themselves, and collect them. :tongue_tb:
I think thats a good exmaple of recycling – kitar semula.
[...] I must say that people in China are just creative. Before this they have condom hair band(not confirmed). Now they have a restaurant specially to serve penis in Beijing – ranging from dog penis to tiger penis. Weirdo.. disgusting. Source: BBC via Rojaks [...]
Good scare story.
Some how i think the material came from pre-used sources. If the raw materials used are the same as that used in a condom, that wouldn’t actually mean it is a condom. It is possible that a condom production facility produced the tube material for the hair band manufacturer to improve the load factor of the machines used.
Or it is just unfortunate that the Chinese hair band manufacturer chose to use pink rubber or plastic which westerners associate with condoms.
