If they are so thin, why are they still safe?
To put it simply, we import and sell condoms from Japan because the Japanese are the world-leaders in condom manufacturing techniques!

The Japanese do not use the Western 'Kitemark' symbol or CE certification as they have their own Japanese Standards Association. All condoms we stock have been approved by regulatory bodies in Japan for the safe prevention of pregnancy and disease, having passed safety and quality tests equivalent to International ISO standards. European certification protects us from cheap, sub-standard imports from countries that do not have such quality standards and provides no significant benefit to assurance of safety or quality when equivalent overseas standards have been met.

As you can tell, we take the issue of safety very seriously, and together with quality standards, safety is of utmost importance when we are sourcing our condoms.

As Japanese Condoms are intended for the Japanese market, they do not carry the CE certification mark, and under UK law, unless they bear this mark they must be, and, therefore are, sold in the UK under the category of "novelty condoms". This is usual practice for certain condoms sourced from outside the EU and some US brands are sold in the UK on a similar basis.
