I'm not sure if this is the right place to place this post, but I think it's about right.  It's not really " news " it's more of a warning, perhaps the mod's can find a better place for it.  

It's cold in Beijing, Angel's escort delivery to my hotel it is.  

Safety first, so I go to the local lil corner shop to buy some domes, 25kuai, pack of 3 Durex's.  Something about the box didn't feel right, so when I get back to the hotel, I open the box to have a closer look, BAM, spelling and spacing mistakes within the instruction book.  Definitely a fake, because big brands like Durex spend millions and millions of dollars every year on things such as copy, layout and spacing.  

Since I realised this is a fake, I head over to the local 7-11 for some real domes, you can always trust 7-11 for things like this, their supply chain is super strong and no need to mess around with fake's like this due to lawsuits.  

I've included some photos that I've took of the real vs fake, left package is always the real one.  


Real:

Box feels like high quality finishing
Instruction book has glossy high quality paper
No spelling errors
Look at the X on the Durex logo, their is a bloom of white at the right corner, the fake does not.
The numbers on the back of the condom package is clearly printed with a thick font
Condoms packaging was perforated
Condom packaging is glossy, not matte
Box and packaging are all larger compared to fake

Fake:

Box felt cheap
Instruction book is not glossy high quality paper, it's cheap flat paper
Spelling and spacing errors all over the instructions
Condom packaging is not perforated
Cheap shiny matte finishing for condom package
Numbers not clearly printed
Some strange info about SSL Thailand.  

I'm sure you guy's can spot out even more differences, anyways in the photos, the real is always on the left side.

Though I cannot be 100 percent sure, but I am 99.9999 percent sure that the fake is a fake.  

Be safe brothers!

Good info!

I like the HK scene in that you can bring your own condoms from Watsons or what not.

UK scene does not allow it as the WG fear you may have tampered with them.

WG's in Canada want to provide also for the same reason.  

One let me peek at her condom drawer in her nightstand... at least 15 kinds.

I'm curious about the actual condom itself.. Does it look or feel any different between the 2?

Unfortunately I did not open up the condom, which I should of but I just binned the fake domes not wanting to accidentally use one.

Bro I totally would have tried both through masturbation. Try fake one first, blow load. Try second one 20 mins later. Compare feel and whether there are any leaks!

Good info and thanks for sharing.

Interesting comment Kennichi.  This points to the differences among user or provider supplied condoms, and the norm in various locations.

Actually this might make a good topic:  countries vs. BYOC; or some similar.
