    Sounds like somebody induling in a bit of 'fake demand' if you ask me... ;)

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,706 ✭✭✭craichoe


    Found this crowd too
    http://www.smartpaddy.ie

    LOL @ Greenhorn :)

    Nah .. Seriously though ... condoms are a total rip in this country, they should be free, way too many teenage pregnancy's !

    17 euros for 12 condoms is a joke ! Their roughly 4.99 for the same product in Holland and Germany

    Careful with ebay for these...get a lot of expired stock or stuff close to it's expiry date. There are dedicated sites out there for condoms though at much reduced prices than the dickhead irish market....no wonder we have the amount of teen pregnancy we do when they're looking thoise prices for a piece of latex...

    They're probably the limited edition Durex polo variety.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 46,550 ✭✭✭✭muffler


    The ebay lot are probably the pen ones


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 515 ✭✭✭steve 0


    Boots currently have a 'Buy two get cheapest 1 free' offer on a selection of Durex products in store.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,078 ✭✭✭tabatha

    Seems the net is the best way, better than waiting around for boots to put on their 2 for 1 dealies...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,828 ✭✭✭unklerosco


    Paying for sex..... I thought that was illegal.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 118 ✭✭oldboy


    You can get condoms for free on the NHS - all the ebay shops are just people puinting them on.

    Been buying them off ebay for last 2 years - no babies or std's yet :) No breakages and all well within expiry date, even when u buy 50 at a time.

    Go for it. The prices over here are a rip off

    Try paying for all a childs needs... 17 euro is nothing :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,929 ✭✭✭dubmick


    $5.50 for 12 durex condoms in Australia, that's about €3.35.

    They are one of the biggest rip offs in this country.

    Ebay has been fine for me, still no children yet :)

    Yeah, iirc they was some politican (can't for the life of me think who) who was on the Ray D'arcy show talking about this. Apparently they have a Dail committee looking at this for quite a while though. They've just yet to do anything.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,900 ✭✭✭✭Mellor


    Im pretty sure they are available free from clinics, they were at least, all colleges give them free too. freebies aren't hard to find,


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,110 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    Freebies are usually terrible quality. I've conferred with my penis and he agrees.

    well now.. that is not something i would openly admit to. but I feel for ya.

    anyway the ones free in college are not terrible quality in the least. if anything they are probably safer than durex on the grounds that they are an inch and a half thick on all sides and so desensitizing you will probably never have to worry..:confused:

    That figure is directly related to the failure rate of the condoms. :D

    I concur. They're usually "Mates: Inch Thick Willy Chokers" or them "Billyboy" yokes.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,110 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    Damn those billyboys. :/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,280 ✭✭✭jArgHA


    wtf is it with billyboys? are they made for hobbits or something? they're absolutely tiny


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,324 ✭✭✭Alter-Ego


    They seem to be popular in germany. God knows why though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,587 ✭✭✭hshortt


    Cheers for the link OP, that's me weekend sorted :D

    As someone has pointed out in bulk - raincoats are dirt cheap. It will depend on the store as to what they consider bulk but a few hundred can end up costing very little as in a few pence each - it's up to you to decide if a few hundred is optimistic or realistic before the expiry date!

    I assume there is 21.5% vat on condoms?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,369 ✭✭✭Thephantomsmask


    www.condomman.com is pretty good. I've purchased from them via the amazon.com marketplace where sometimes a product can be cheaper than their main site. I got 100 crown skinless for approx €20 recently with an expiry of 2013, the package was labelled "latex gloves"! The code cman10 gets a 10% discount on their website.
