It's quite sad that we seem to associate low prices with bad quality.

We've been so brainwashed, ripped-off and conditioned in the our so called "boom years" that we've become less inclined to buy something if it's cheap.

Went to Lidl last week for the first time in ages as I've just come back from travelling. Got the most delicious Jalfrezi sauce, lovely broccoli and pasta sauce aswell.

We really need to cop on in this country and realise that cheap does not equal bad. That's what has prices so high in this country for the last 15 years.

Us dumbwits have been all too willing to pay them.

Sounds stupid, but unfortunately true, within reason!

There's Lidl (&Aldi) cheap-n-chearful, it'll do the job ok, then there's cheap-n-nasty (dodgy market stalls etc) where it breaks the first time used = tough shit! At least with Lidl you could return the baby! :pac:

Germany has one of the lowest birthrates in the EUworld

So is one with a kitemark "better" than one with just the CE mark

The standards are different, the British family planning association will say that those carrying the British standard 'kite' mark are better. :rolleyes:

Background to "CE" Marking
Since 1985 the European Union has been setting out new harmonised technical standards for products sold in the EU. The aim is to protect consumers whilst making sales to member states easier.

Issued as European Directives these standards place particular emphasis on Health and Safety.
b
The standards are mandatory, any company from any country selling a product into the EU must ensure its compliance with the applicable European Directives.

The CE (European Conformity) mark is rapidly replacing national standards including the British Standard Kite Mark and German DIN.

Some brands carry both marks.
Pasanté condoms are both Kite & CE Marked, Mates condoms carry the BSI Kitemark and European CE mark.
Trojan condom is CE Marked only and are most well known brand in the usa.

The "CE" standard means that the product has been tested to one of many recognised European testing standards, the British Kitemark and the German VDE being the best known. These standards are not yet fully harmonised but the CE mark is.

Some of the national standards are higher then the CE mark, but this doesn't mean that CE stuff is inferior.

I prefer BIG ones.:D

What possible difference could there be with lidl condoms, their made of latex and are lubricated just like the rest. Clearly the durex marketing guy is doing his job well!

Condoms? Nope.

But I've found their crisp packets to be super effective

their cling film is even better. i found the crisp packets can sting if you get the wrong flavour

If anything, Lidl condoms should be better to try stopping the working/non-working classes from multiplying any more.

Would you trust Lidl Condoms?
