Ah, France!

For a brief moment, I thought there were Disney brand condoms in France, and I was rather disturbed.

Wow. Given that Mickey seems to be staring down at his crotch there, I'd say it was a natural mistake. O_o

what are those disney-things? and why are they RIGHT beside the condoms???

[pphaneuf.livejournal.com]

They're plasters, of course!

oh! band-aids! i know band aid is a brand, but i didn't know the generic name was plasters!

According to this, when used in lowercase, it's a generic term too, but "plaster" is also used in the UK, it would seem! That's what French Canadian uses, but I figured it was probably an English word, since I know the proper French word for those, and that's not it. :-)

HAHAHAHA

I'd use Winnie the Pooh condoms!! Especially if they were candy flavoured!

Damn, and I can never find the Durex Love condoms in New York. I'm serioiusly importing them from Canada on a regular basis.. sigh.

Good stuff?

Experience has shown them to have less of a latex taste than many other brands, including my previous favourite of trojans in the light blue box. Determining instances where less of a latex taste is preferable is left as an exercise to the reader.

Thanks for the info! And, uh, gotta love that icon... :-)
