10 Creepiest Condom Designs Ever

Sometimes the most tantalizing things in life are also the most traumatizing.

Choosing a condom is a very personal thing, and thankfully the modern market provides ample options for each person to secure his or her€™s preferred style. But what if your tastes are a little more€esoteric? What if even an extra thin, super lightweight, triple tested sheath with delicately scored ribbing simply doesn€™t cut it? You need, my friends, to delve into the darkest corner of condom design, a kind of sexy version of the dark web where only the most fearless of spirit and creative of imagination dare to tread. What you find there will thrill you, terrify you and maybe just satisfy you beyond your wildest dreams. Clutching your crotch nervously? Not quite ready to take the plunge? Allow this list to introduce you to some of the creepy creations you will discover on your journey, a ride that will take in childhood cartoon characters gone bad, aliens without a shred of affection for humanity, your favorite food and drink put to sinister new uses, and a contraption involving nozzles, pipes and hoses that will soak you in liquid latex should you deign to push the button. Tantalized? Traumatized? Quite a natural reaction, for the creepy finesse of these condoms will arouse a little bit of both.

10. Pikachu

Pinterest Take a stroll through the O-i Keibajo Flea Market in Tokyo and you€™ll find all sorts of weird and wonderful fare, from vintage clocks and woodblock Buddha prints to retro toys you never knew existed. It was here, in this carnival of delightful oddness perched on the edge of Japan's capital city, that evidence of the Pikachu condom first emerged. While initially shocking to behold, its inch-long ears, clearly dilated pupils, rosy red cheeks and crooked grin conspiring to strike terror into even the most determined lover, do remember that Pikachu is one of the Pokemon so linguistically at least it makes perfect sense for the chubby, day-glo yellow rodent to be immortalized in condom form. The best advice? Try not to look at his face. Alternatively, if the idea of putting it anywhere near your skin fills you with dread, keep it in its decorative plastic casing and use it as a conversation-stopping ornament.
