most expensive condom
In today’s era, use of condom has become a common necessity. Whether it is to prevent unwanted pregnancy or it is a matter of health security, its trend has increased rapidly among couples. There are many varieties and flavors available in the market today, the price of which depends on their quality. But can you imagine that there is a condom which costs more than a holiday spent in a luxury hotel?
This condom is almost 200 years old
Usually we see condom as a use-and-throw product, but the condom we are talking about is a historical heritage. This condom is about 200 years old. According to media reports, this rare condom was discovered in France and was recently sold during an online auction in Spain. You will be surprised to know that there was a competition among the bidders for this one condom and finally a person from Amsterdam bought it for about 44,000 Indian Rupees.
This condom is made from sheep intestine
The biggest feature of this condom is its texture. In the 18th and 19th centuries, latex or rubber was not available like today. At that time, animal intestines were used to make condoms. This special condom was made from sheep intestine. Its length was 19 centimeters (about 7 inches), which was considered quite large for that time.
Most importantly, it was made entirely by hands. At a time when people’s knowledge about contraceptive methods was very limited, the creation of such a thing was in itself a wonderful example of science and craftsmanship. The hard work and time that went into making it is what makes it so valuable today.
A luxury trip to Dubai will cost you the price of a condom.
You can estimate the price of this condom from the fact that for the amount of money for which this condom is sold, you can enjoy in an expensive place like Dubai. Dubai’s ‘Armani Hotel’ is counted among the most luxurious hotels in the world, where the fare for one night stay is around Rs 38,000 to 40,000. If the math is done, for the price of 5 such ancient condoms, you can comfortably spend 5 nights in that five star hotel.
Currently the most expensive option
If we step out of history and talk about today’s market, there are still some condoms which are much above the normal price. Currently ‘SKYN Supreme Feel’ condom is considered quite expensive. If you buy a pack of 10 pieces, you may have to spend around $100. In Indian currency this amount is approximately Rs 9000.
