Feature: Being Prepared

Running to the store to pick up an item you need is usually a minor inconvenience, right? Now imagine you and your sweetie just started getting hot and heavy, the kisses are passionate, your hands are caressing each others bodies and as the clothes begin to come off you wonder if either of you have a condom. You check your drawer and just what you were afraid of, there is nothing but an empty tin. We have all been there, first you run to the room-mates sock drawer frantically searching for a condom (don’t forget to check the expiration date!) and when that plan fails you search your mind for fast options and actually consider trying to dig out that condom lollipop you got at the last bachelor party in Vegas. We are too smart to even consider going to battle without being armed so you make the “I’ll be right back” announcement as you walk out the door praying your partner will not be asleep when you return. This trip to the store is going to be a hard one, no pun intended.

A standard Maxpro 12 condom tin can cover a first round of preparation. I like to keep condoms in my purse so they are with me at all times. The purse designers anticipated the need for such a compartment and conveniently provides a small inside zipper pocket that can accommodate at least 2 condoms. Ladies take advantage of it! Aside from my purse I have condoms strategically placed around my house.

I always keep 2 at the very back of my second drawer in the bathroom just in case a house-quest decides to join me mid-shower. And of course there is the good ol’ sock drawer where 98% of us keep our condoms and other “goodies”. Drawers in any room can generally be a good place to store condoms, it provides a cool dark place and keeps them out of sight. There are even 2 in my desk drawer at the office and 2 in my gym bag, just in case the opportunity arises. If you noticed I always keep them in quantities of two it is because for me the meal is not over until I’ve had appetizers and a second helping of the main course, but for some of you it will just come in handy for the next time.
