Why is the condom so expensive?

Condoms are made by large multinationals (labs that own brands like Durex and Manix), and they are not used to losing money on what they sell! Joking aside, the condom is a technical product, classified as a medical device in France: many tests are carried out during manufacture, and whole lots of several thousand condoms can be thrown away if a single condom of the lot is not in accordance with the standards in force. This cost of compliance is necessarily reflected in the selling price.

It is also necessary to pay the harvesters of latex, a difficult job. Some brands labeled Fair Trade better pay farmers and harvesters (most often in Asia), which inflates a little the price of condoms. And then big brands do research and development: they test new materials, make new shapes and new textures. All this costs a lot of money. Finally, the marketing and sales costs (advertising, distribution) can represent up to 35% of the final price: to make known its new product and referencing it at all the pharmacists and in all the supermarkets is very expensive.
