Working from the idea that a condom replica 100 times the size of an actual condom will be a reminder for the very forgetful, Little Elk, a Lancaster, Pennsylvania crafter, hand silkscreens fabric and makes unique condom-wrapper pillows.
The polyester-filled pillows sell with or without an oversized stretchy fabric condom large enough to double as a body bag. All contain a pocket for the more modestly-sized functional condoms.
For those who just can’t get enough condom-themed merchandise in their lives, there are also hand silk-screened zipper condom pouches.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Giant Condom-themed Products
- Opportunity to create unique, novelty items that cater to those interested in condom-based themes.
- Memory Aids
- Innovative ways to help people remember their birth control methods and encourage safer sex practices.
- Handmade and Unique Crafts
- The market for handcrafted unique items that are both functional and one-of-a-kind is growing, with potential for innovative twists on traditional crafts.
Sectors Adopting This
- Textile and Fabric Crafts
- Handmade crafts using fabric and textile-based materials would benefit from incorporating unusual, novelty themes based on existing products.
- Sex Education and Wellness
- Products aimed at improving sexual health and wellness practices, particularly those that encourage safe sex practices.
- Novelty and Gift Items
- Businesses focused on creating unique novelty items such as those related to popular themes of the day, including those that are sexual in nature.
