Japanese Condom Packages

Oooo-kay. We’re looking at 15 actual condom packages that I have assembled for you. It took me a couple of minutes of head scratching, but I’m leaning towards “why not?” So what’s wrong with a love glove named “Monkey” or even “Kit Sack,” in fruit candy colors? Whatever. While the design may look like kid’s packaging to western eyes, there is no doubt the Japanese just see the world differently. Go Speed Racer, GO!

  1. Hi, Linda told me about your wonderful blog. I'm going to have to scold her for not telling me about you earlier. Anyway...my mother is Japanese, so I went to Japan every few years with her to visit my relatives in Tokyo. I love candy, and once on a trip to the local convenience store, I grabbed a colorful box thinking it was candy. When I brought it home, my mother screamed at me. It was a box of condoms. But that wasn't the odd part; the odd part, in retrospect, was that the guy behind the counter never questioned why I was buying them. I guess kids in Japan pick up condoms for their parents the same way they buy beer for their parents from vending machines...? cheers, m

  2. These are cute condom packaging designs. I’m wondering if kids in Japan are not being mistaken for picking condoms instead of candies.
