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

    Found this crowd too

    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 Posts: 45,922 ✭✭✭✭muffler


    The ebay lot are probably the pen ones

    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 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 Posts: 3,916 ✭✭✭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 Posts: 39,161 ✭✭✭✭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: 60,090 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
