Chinese-made condoms too small, Zimbabwe’s health minister complains

A Chinese condom manufacturer says it is considering making its products in different sizes after Zimbabwe’s health minister complained that contraceptives made in China and exported to the African nation were too small for its men.

Health Minister David Parirenyatwa made the comments at an event in the capital Harare last week to promote HIV/Aids prevention, according to the website New Zimbabwe.com.

“The southern African region has the highest incidence of HIV and we are promoting the use of condoms,” Parirenyatwa was quoted as saying.

“Youths now have a particular condom that they like, but we don’t manufacture them. We import condoms from China and some men complain they are too small.”

Parirenyatwa added that Zimbabwean firms should look at making condoms rather than relying on imports.

Zhao Chuan, the chief executive of the condom manufacturer Beijing Daxiang and His Friends Technology Co, told the South China Morning Post the firm was planning to make contraceptives in different sizes.

Too small or not big enough?

“Too beaucoup!”

Remember that scene from “Blazing Saddles” when the Madeline Kahn character was going to have sex with the Cleavon Little character?

They were in the dark, and the Madeline Kahn character says, “Is it “twue” how you people are gifted?”

Then we hear the sound of the Cleavon Little character unzipping his pants.

Then the Madeline Kahn character says,

“It’s “twue”! It’s “twue!”

Anything made in Asia is one size too small.

Maybe they aren't using them properly?

[ArtDodger]

I recall a story about the USA sending supplies to the USSR after WWII ended and the condoms we sent to them were large but were labeled small to mess with their minds a bit.

[right way right]

Bah haaaaw!

America is great!

[CJ Wolf]

I heard walmart has to relabel stuff to American sizes all the time.

[Telepathic Intruder]

The reason, so I've read, that East Asians are smaller is because of their diet. While we in the west for millennia have relied mostly on wheat, they've grown rice, which is lower in nutritional value. You must eat a lot more rice to get the same benefit as wheat, but instead of growing more they just adapted and grew smaller themselves.

However, the studio cut Clevon's next line, when he responded,

Wonder if they fit Tonto Goldberg?

The state of PA contracted for TYVEK suits (lowest price wins) for my asbestos workers. Of course China won for their price. I couldn’t get a 6 year old fitted into an XL China suit.
