Chinese-made condoms too small, Zimbabwe’s health minister complains
The South China Morning Post ^ | March 1, 2018 | Laura Zhou

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.

I have only found one pair of jeans, and they’re not even real jeans, but “jeggings” that fit, in the last 3 years of ordering and trying different pairs. The same exact pant will fit differently depending on the COLOR. The slim fit corduroys I lived in last winter got ruined in the dryer so I ordered a new pair last month same brand, color and size and they no longer fit, they are baggy. I might be a small in one shirt and a large in another. There seems to be barely any quality control. (probably unless you shop at higher end stores like Von Maur and Nordstrom)

There is that—plus different body proportions.

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

That’s the best idea. Like some other African president that said something like “You want to help us? Quit flooding our markets with used clothing from Goodwill that undermines our manufacturers.”

Oh man - I hope these Chinese condoms are at least brand new!

Not that it matters, right? It's a man's mind (money) they're interested in.

Condoms from red China?
Is this proof that communism results in tiny penises? Give us more capitalism, please.

Maybe the communists are trying to breed larger men by only making condoms that fit little guys.

I've read that too.

Supposedly why Europe was more culturally and technically advanced too.

More protein in the diet makes for a stronger brain and body.

How screwed up is it that a country where they desperately need condoms no company in that country can’t manufacture them? What a shiffhole.

There’s an old saying once you go black you don’t go back.

Or was it much ado about nothing.
