Durex is the king and Planned Parenthood just blows. CONDOMS !!!!

They're getting free condoms. They shouldn't be abusing them like that. If you and your mate go at it like animals rough enough to cause statistical reductions in condom durability, then maybe you should be paying for the good ones. Or be in porn.

While abstinence has a 0 percent failure rate...

The nonprofit Consumers Union says in a new guide to contraception that the seven top types of condom they studied did not burst despite vigorous testing, and all models met international standards.

But results showed that the top brand, able to take the most punishment, was the Durex Extra Sensitive Lubricated Latex, according to the report.

Other top-performers include the Durex Performax Lubricated, Lifestyles Classic Collection Ultra Sensitive Lubricated and TheyFit Lubricated.

A melon-colored model distributed by Planned Parenthood performed the worst, bursting during a test in which the latex condoms were filled with air.

Yea, way to leave out the important amount of info. If you're using your condom as a fvcking balloon, who cares.

Ahhh you do know that is how the makers ALSO test them for quality right.
 
Got this issue of Consumer Reports in the mail just a couple days ago. Basically they said any condom you can buy in a store is fine. Only ones they said to avoid were a couple of type from PP. Basically just buy what you like (which happend to be Durex for me 😀) because they're all about the same.
 
Maybe they're trying to get more people who could technically afford condoms to stop going and getting the free ones so actual poor people can get more. (Or they're being paid off by the brand names.)

Is there any information on whether Planned Parenthood ever runs out of free condoms? Are they having to turn people away empty-handed? Or do they always end up with extras that they have to toss out?

More than likely, the free ones are made by one of the brand-names anyway. I've never seen a "generic" condom on the shelves at a store, and I can't imagine there's a condom-making company whose only customers are places that give them away.

Do the mention how the "standard" condoms hold up? I'd have expected the #1 spots to be held by plain old condoms (lubed or not) instead of things with names like Ultra/Extra Sensitive, which tend to be very thin. If those didn't do any better, or did worse, I'd say that indicates how little this test means in the real world. Perhaps the thicker latex is less able to stretch to those extremes, but it's certainly going to "wear" better.
 
That conspiracy is already known about I think. They're in on it along with the stem-cell researchers and the black-market organ people. I think even Gerber provides some funding.

per the magazine article, there really wasnt a whole lot of difference between the regular and the thin ones. in fact, i think they rated one of the Durex thin varieties best. as i said before, they pretty much concluded that any condom you can buy at a store will pass a pretty damn strenuous test.
