Used condoms are being recycled into hair bands in southern China, threatening to spread sexually-transmittable diseases they were originally meant to prevent, state media reported Tuesday.
I wouldn't buy them. Would you?????

No I wouldn't, regardless of the fact that I don't need them.
"Damned clever these Chinese" - inventive even if they haven't thought it through.

Apparently you can pick up any sexually transmitted disease from them. A chinese factory has been 'harvesting' them from rubbish along with other types of rubber and processing them into bands. The government have now found out and the factory closed and the owner arrested. Just goes to show you cannot really trade with these people, their values are wrong, look at all the incidences of goods being taken off sale because the chinese wilfully used cheaper paint containing lead! Bodgit and scarper comes to mind!

Preferably, condoms should be made into hair bands at the beginning of their life cycle and not used as condoms at all.

Ok, i am officially grossed out. Can you imagine holding onto the used condoms to hand them in in bulk???
Yuk. You'd have to pay me millions of bucks to consider even working there, let alone buying the product.
Gross

Very unecessary... one car off the road each year is equivalent to about 1 billion recycled comdoms...

I wouldn't buy hair bands anyway, but used condoms sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.
