The nonprofit Consumers Union says in a new guide to contraception that the seven top U.S. types of condom they studied did not burst despite vigorous testing, and all models met international standards. [Shamalama says: Vigorous testing?!?! How do I apply for THAT job?] But results showed that the top brand, able to take the most punishment, was the Durex Extra Sensitive Lubricated Latex, according to the report. A melon-colored model distributed by Planned Parenthood performed the worst, bursting during a test in which the latex condoms were filled with air. [Shamalama says: Well that's just great. The ones that they give your kids in school actually performed the worst. Geez.] http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...alth_condoms_dc The actual results: TOP 5 1 Durex Extra Sensitive Lubricated Latex 2 Durex Performax Lubricated 3 LifeStyles Classic Collection Ultra Sensitive Lubricated 4 TheyFit Lubricated 5 Trojan Extended Pleasure Climax Control Lubricant BOTTOM 5 19 Inspiral Lubricated 20 LifeStyles Classic Collection Ribbed Pleasure 21 Durex High Sensation Lubricated 22 Planned Parenthood Assorted Colors 23 Planned Parenthood Honeydew -------------------- Clan Mac Cullaich: - Brewed in Scotland - Bottled in Ulster - Uncorked in America Common Folk Using Common Sense
