And even if anyone would contemplate a 'recycled' item of clothing, the logistics of gathering them would be... erm, problematic.

It is a strong statement for safe sex!And there is a company in Brazil that uses sustainably tapped latex, which can be a very natural material when tapped from trees and not treated with baths of harsh chemicals... Latex is like cotton, or bamboo, or anything else, i can be sustainable or not, depending on how the crop is grown then processed... Then all a condom company would have to do is work on biodegradable packaging and sustainable transportation, and environmentally friendly contraception could be there to be enjoyed! :)MegO! of the Deadly Nightshades Midnight Bike Crew Well, if we really want to talk about sustainability and material purposes, condoms are far better for the environment if they are used to prevent unwanted pregnancies and STIs… they aren’t that great for fabric!

Also, it's not well known for durability when exposed to sunlight. So these would be evening dresses only, I guess. :)Nice post. I voted "gross" only because you talked about recycled "used" condoms being used... lol Well, latex isn’t exactly “green” in its manufacture or recyclability.
