Bulk Packs

Buying a large caja de condones is much cheaper per unit, and that is the obvious reason. The least obvious is that having enough stock eliminates the moment when they run out just when they are needed, which is when the worst decisions are made. The only real limit for this category is the expiration date: buying more than you will use before that date saves nothing.

How much is actually saved

The difference in price per unit between a box of three and a box of one hundred is usually between 50 and 70 percent. In regular consumption the account is simple, although it is advisable to do it the other way around: calculate your approximate monthly use, look at the expiration date of the batch and buy the amount that fits within that period. A pack de condones of one hundred units with a two-year lifespan is reasonable for someone who uses four or five a week, and a wasted expense for someone who uses two a month.

Formats and who they are for

Expiration and conservation

A latex condom has a lifespan of between three and five years from its manufacture, and polyurethane somewhat less. The date printed on the envelope is the one indicated, not the one on the outer box. Store them in a cool, dry place without direct light: a drawer works, a car glove compartment does not, and a wallet even less so, because continued friction and body heat damage the material long before the indicated date.

When you buy large format, distribute a small amount in the place where you are going to use them and leave the rest in the original box, protected.

A single type or variety pack

If you already know what size and texture work for you, buying a hundred units of the same model is the most efficient option. If you are still not sure, a varied pack is more cost-effective than buying small boxes from different brands, because it allows you to compare in real conditions. Size is the most important variable and the one that is most ignored: the nominal width, which is the measurement that appears on the box, varies between 49 and 60 mm, and a condom that squeezes or slides does not provide the same protection.

What to check at checkout

CE marked and reference to the EN ISO 4074 standard, legible batch and expiration date, and intact individual envelopes without wrinkles or perforations. If the large format comes in a bulk bag instead of sealed envelopes, it is not a suitable product. The alternatives for latex allergies are in Latex Free, with the warning that the polyisoprene ones do protect against infections and the natural leather ones do not.

Lubricant and compatibility

On latex and polyisoprene, only water- or silicone-based lubricant. Vegetable and mineral oils, including many body creams, deteriorate the material within minutes. Adding a drop of lubricant inside the closed end and a layer on the outside improves feel and reduces the risk of breakage. You find compatible options at Water-Based. Exclusive sale for people over 18 years of age.

Discreet shipping from Lace & Luna

Orders arrive in plain, unbranded packaging, with no reference to the contents on the outside, and the bank charge is just as discreet. Details are at embalaje discreto. We are a family store and in large formats we prefer that you buy the quantity you are going to use before it expires.

How to distribute the box

A large box yields more if it is not stored entirely in the same place. The practical thing is to leave the bulk in a cool, dry drawer and carry two or three units in a small rigid case, never loose in your purse or car glove compartment, where heat and continued friction degrade the latex long before the printed date.

Frequently asked questions

How much do you save with a large pack?

Between 50 and 70 percent per unit versus a small box. The savings are only real if you consume the units before the expiration date.

How long do condoms last?

Between three and five years since manufacturing in latex, slightly less in polyurethane. Send the date printed on the individual envelope, not the one on the box.

Where are they stored?

In a cool, dry place without direct light. Not in your wallet or in the glove compartment of your car, because heat and continued friction damage the material.

Better a single model or a variety pack?

A single model if you already know your size and texture. A variety pack is the most economical way to try before committing to a large format.

What lubricant can be used?

Water or silicone based. Vegetable and mineral oils deteriorate latex and polyisoprene in a few minutes.
