No. Instead of the traditional hair band colors, they are now going to come in different flavors such as Gonorrea Green, AIDS orange, and Red-Hot Herpes.

So, yeah. It's ridiculous.

I'm assuming they're being melted down and then remake into bands; they're not just cutting out the o-ring opening and selling it as is, so I can't see how AIDS, Hepatitis, Syphilis etc. could survive the process.

Also, were in the hell are they getting so many used condoms to make a commercially viable hairband product? Do the Chinese have "Condom Recycling" containers next to their cans, plastics and paper recycling?

Story sounds like complete B.S., even for the Chinese.

These condom recycling bins. Sounds like a legitimate reason to have sex with just anybody on the street - literally.

Well, China have that one child per family. They need all the protection they can get.

Apparently, some Australian bead-making sets contained a drug that's used by date-rapists to put victims to sleep and can cause other lethal harm.

Apparently the stuff they used to make the blue pigment in the toy turns into GHB when its combined with stomach acid. Apparently big brothers and sisters were stocking up on it in one state that had them still on the shelves for one extra day.

The guvnor down at a boxing club I was training at for a bit years ago advised us not to use anybody else's wraps (that you put the gloves on over) for the hep B fear.

So was he just ignorant or can that at least remain in the wraps...?

Slightly different I know, but was wondering.

Cheers, Dadude.

So it would appear that he mustve been worried about blood on the wraps or something, then rather than it be a sweat thing...
Must've been erring really hard on the side of caution though, judging by that.

Thanks again.

This is a good news and bad as well.Chines are really hard working people and they know the art of making useful stuff from used stuff by recycling.But there is always a danger in recycling condoms in ti hair band.It may cause sex related diseases.I will never vote in favor of recycling condoms.
