NEW DELHI - Only a quarter of condoms made in India are used for sex, most of the others are used to make saris, toys and bathroom slippers, a newspaper reported Saturday.

The condoms are valuable to manufacturers because of the lubricant on them. Sari weavers place the condoms on their thread spools and the lubricant on the prophylactics is rubbed off on the thread, making it move faster through their sewing machines, The Economic Times newspaper quoted an Indian industry official as saying.

Sari makers also turn the condom's inside out, place them on their fingers and use the high-quality lubricant to polish gold and silver threads used in the traditional Indian women's outfits.

India manufactures more than 1 billion condoms annually to check population growth and curb the spread of HIV/AIDS.

Are they saying people put them on their feet, or they are used to treat the thread that is used to make slippers? I think putting condoms on your feet is really funny, but I do hate stepping on a wet floor in my socks after someone took a shower or a bath, so maybe condoms would work for that, hahaha...

But yeah, it's kinda like the GI's that used to put the condoms on their rifles when they were storming the beaches. Rubber is pretty useful stuff.
