Working from the idea that a condom replica 100 times the size of an actual condom will be a reminder for the very forgetful, Little Elk, a Lancaster, Pennsylvania crafter, hand silkscreens fabric and makes unique condom-wrapper pillows.
The polyester-filled pillows sell with or without an oversized stretchy fabric condom large enough to double as a body bag. All contain a pocket for the more modestly-sized functional condoms.
For those who just can’t get enough condom-themed merchandise in their lives, there are also hand silk-screened zipper condom pouches.
