    “I sex very much”. Best review ever.

  • E P

    the great thing is that there are reviews like that for almost every app you find. One for a stop motion app: “Great app. Gets you laid for sure!!!”

    …Uber for condoms?

    I hate to say it, but I could totally see this taking off in San Francisco.

    Or just give the Uber drivers a supply… #addingvalue

    Finally, a good use for drones.  On it!

      must be out there but I cant find it

  • RElgin

    Durex manufactures a radar-resistant coating for some of those drones too so win/win.

    The only thing that stops a bad guy with a condom is a good guy with a condom.

    1) Things are heating up.
    2a) You suggest waiting for the pizza.
    2b) You’re interrupted by police harassment.
    3) Mood continues untempered.

    What could go wrong?

      Seriously, they might as well call the service Boner Killers.

    This makes me feel even worse for not turning around and returning the condoms a young gentleman lost in the back seat of my cab last Friday.

      Condoms a guy “lost” in the back seat of your cab? Yeah, right!
      That story’s got Beta Tester written all over it!

    • BarBarSeven

      The back seat of your cab deserved it. Just look at those soft curves.

    Another sign of things to come…

      I see what you did there

    In Switzerland, we have an app that gives you the nearest location of a vending machine that sells condoms.

       Now That is useful! Link? Needs more countries in the DB

    Not just a lol – police officers in many places (including the USA) have been known to use condom possession as evidence that a woman is a prostitute. If that’s a legitimate risk for women, especially in a country where the penalties would be very harsh, then an on-demand delivery service could potentially keep innocent people out of jail. That said, the police might start following the condom delivery vans around…

       My best guess for why this is happening in Dubai is that it’s probably difficult to get your hands on condoms by just walking into a store and buying them — people will look, might start talking and so on.

      So this might just be the thing that (at least some) people need to even be in possession of condoms without running into problems with society

      • desertstargazer

        You can buy condoms in every gas station, drug store and club / bar / hotel restroom in Dubai. Just sayin’.

        • http://www.gyrofrog.com/ Gyrofrog

          You can also buy liquor in Dubai.  “Culturally conservative?” Maybe compared to Amsterdam.  I was in Dubai in October and my hotel was, to put it charitably, a swangin’ bachelor pad.

          It might raise more eyebrows next door in Sharjah, though.

  • Paul Renault

    You’d think that if the guy can perform an hour of foreplay while he waiting for the delivery to arrive, he’d also realize that there are other options available besides those which mandate a condom, eh.

    • teknocholer

       There in thirty minutes or it’s irrelevant.

    I’m surprised there isn’t a plastic wrap delivery service.

  • AceTracer

    This smells of a blatant viral marketing campaign.

    • Bad Juju

       Gee, ya think?  Did BB really get trolled into running a condom ad? Well, it is funny…

    Plan ahead and save at Costco!

    http://www.costco.com/DUREX%C2%AE-Pleasure-Pack%C2%AE%2c-54-Condoms.product.100014021.html

    Of course if you shop at Costco you’ll either never need a 54 pack of condoms, or you don’t know what they’re for.

  • desertstargazer

    The notion that Dubai is “culturally conservative” is a bit (miles) off the mark.  There is more booze, sex and techno here than most global cities.  Think Las Vegas meets Miami, except replace the Cubans and Puerto Ricans with Indians and Lebanese, and then replace  tourists from Minnesota with Saudis on a 10-day bender.

    • http://www.gyrofrog.com/ Gyrofrog

      Yeah, I replied to your other comment before I saw this one.  The description might apply to one of the other Emirates, like Sharjah. But I haven’t been to Sharjah.

  • http://mychemicaljourney.blogspot.com The Chemist

    Lots of comments from people who’ve never been to Dubai I see. Sure, it’s nominally conservative.

    Emphasis on the “nominally”.
