Viet Man

In 2020, a crime was detected ...

Second Hand Recycled Condoms In Vietnam
Condoms In Vietnam

 ......that has set birth control and safe sex in Vietnam back a decade or so.

Police in the southern province of Binh Duong, raided a warehouse and confiscated 345,000 condoms. 

This was not a customs raid on smuggled foreign high quality condoms .... the thing that made this unusual was that these were said to be 'used' condoms. Yes. allegedly they had been "cleaned" and resold, some a number of times presumably. 

One of those arrested was a woman member of the gang, who informed the police officers that the used prophylactics were first boil washed in water, and then dried on wooden phalluses, to regain their shapes. There doesn't appear to have been any quality control in place, so they may well have holes and tears, but then again these were criminals, so I don't suppose that was a concern.

They were then repackaged and sold .... but how or where they obtained the used condoms in the first place was not divulged. But she did say that they had received a “monthly input of used condoms from an unknown person.”

The mind boggles!
