While we’re all aware of the most obvious use for condoms, it actually turns out that they’re a pretty versatile, multi-functional item.
Made from many different materials, but the main ingredient of the condom is still natural or synthetic rubber. At the same time, the special structure makes these bags completely waterproof. In addition to the main effect, condoms can be used to help with many other things in life.
1. Keep fresh fruit
Yep! Roll one of these over a piece of fruit to keep it fresh in your bag! Just maybe don’t take it out in front of your co-workers.
2. Making strips elastic
Cut the condom in width carefully and you will immediately have up to 20 elastic bands to hold the cable or even tie the hair. Note the thin thickness of the cord will depend on your wishes, however to ensure the elasticity you have to cut straight and evenly.
3. Cold pack
Fill with water and rubbing alcohol to a ratio of 3:1, then put it in the freezer. Next time you sprain something, this will provide a cold press that will shape itself to wherever you put it.
4. Waterproof phone holder
Condoms will be a great solution if you want to protect your electronics against invasive water. Simply put the phone or any device you want to protect into the condom and tie it tightly. So now you can take a photo of yourself underwater without worrying about your smartphone.
5. Shoe shiner
The latex in the condom makes for a surprisingly good shoe polisher. Simply take the condom out of the packet, and rub it over your favorite pair to get them back to their shiny best.
6. Waterproof bandage
In the inevitable trips in the event of injuries and bleeding. Then, you can turn condoms into garo handle in case of a situation. Get a condom, twist the two ends and tie the wound about 5 cm to stop bleeding.
Also, take advantage of the condom's water-repellent effect on wound healing. When hands and feet are bandaged but want to bathe or go out in the rain, cut the two ends of the bag, use the lower part to wrap the wound.
7. Soda cover
To keep your soda from going flat once you’ve opened the can, try rolling a condom over it. This will keep it fresh and probably ensure that no-one else will want to steal it!
8. Fire starters
Condoms catch fire very easily, so they are useful if you’re trying to start a fire. However, they only burn for a few moments, so make sure you’ve got other kindling ready to add!
9. Reduce stress
A tip with a condom helps you reduce stress effectively. Put flour or rice inside the condom and tighten. You will have a small ball. Squeeze the ball in your hand and let all the troubles pass.
10. Jar opener
No more boiling water or banging against worktops needed! Stretch the opening of a condom over the lid of the jar, and then open as normal. The added lubricant will help it to open more smoothly.
