I usually just turn mine inside out for a second go but definitely won't use them more than twice

I refuse to use condoms since they aren't 100% effective.

Also really curious how they collected them in the first place. Because that's probably the weirdest part. Do they have condom recycling bins over there? Or were they just collecting them from something like a brothel where you'd see wide-scale use over a short period of time?

An inspector said the factory's 34-year-old owner, a woman, confessed they purchased the condoms from someone else, the state-owned Tuoi Tre newspaper reported, according to the AP.

Yeah, this kinda baffles me. There's no way ordinary dumpster-diving would find them quickly enough to make resale a sustainable business, even without considering the further costs involved in repackaging them. Condoms are very much not a high-value item, unless they're a lot harder to come by in Vietnam than I'm realizing (and therefore more expensive), so you'd need one person to be able to collect an enormous volume in order to turn enough profit to make such a criminal venture worthwhile. I'm really not sure how that's possible.

I cant imagine that theyd even make a ton of money off of them. Seems like way more trouble than its worth

Maybe used means taken out of the box like those bowls at clinics then repackaged.

Isn't a fresh supply of Latex itself rather abundant in the region to begin with? This sounds more labor intensive than making new condoms from scratch.

The article talks about washing and reshaping them. Pretty sure they mean actual use.

Off-brand condoms, anyway. I'm sure all of the major companies have tightly controlled supply chains where they monitor the product from manufacturing to distribution. Notwithstanding that it'd bring the Trojan brand closer to its namesake >_>

Maybe there was like a movie about condom maker so they needed a bunch of open condoms for a scene and they got those condoms.
