The main use of condoms is for having protected sex. However, as we shall see, condoms have many other uses outside the bedroom.
Pro-tip: You may prefer to use non-lubricated condoms for most of these.
A Storage Jar for Water and Booze
It’s possible to store up to 2 liters of water in a single condom. However, it is important to first rinse it if it’s a lubricated one. Storing water in condoms has proven to be quite effective especially, where other options are lacking. You can decide to slip the condom into a sock, once you have already poured the water in it. This will increase its chances of surviving in case it is pricked. Interestingly, you can also store booze in condoms. You can even go on and sneak the booze in airplanes or in the movies.
A Waterproof for Watches, Phones and Regular Microphones
A condom can actually waterproof a watch. You only need to wrap the watch in it. This can be particularly helpful if you are caught up in the rain. It will ensure that your watch is protected. A condom is equally effective, in waterproofing a phone. This is because nothing can go through the latex shield, that a condom provides. It is even possible to use a touch screen through the condom. This makes it an effective and affordable way of protecting your phone during emergencies. A condom can also be used to waterproof a regular microphone. Especially, in outdoor ceremonies, when an abrupt downpour sets in.
