A global shortage of condoms is looming, the world’s biggest producer said, after a coronavirus lockdown forced it to shut down production. Malaysia’s Karex Bhd makes one in every five condoms globally. It has not produced a single condom from its three Malaysian factories for more than a week due to a lockdown imposed by the government to halt the spread of the virus.

Just wash 'em out and re-use until they break!😎

Fun facts:

Where ARE Condoms Made?
Trojan: U.S.A.
NaturaLamb: U.S.A.
Durex: Spain, U.K., India, and Thailand.
LifeStyle: India and Thailand.
Kimono: Japan.
Beyond Seven and Crown: Japan.

70% of condoms purchased in drugstores are Trojans.

In days of old,
When Knights were bold,
And rubbers weren't invented.
They put a sock on their co*k
And babies were prevented.
