Hawaiian print barrel condoms

Hey kids, I found some fabric while shopping for another project and whipped up some red and blue hawaiian print barrel condoms.



I've got a dozen of each color. They have a Cordura-reinforced pocket tip so they should last a while.

(that's the inside of the condom)

I'll sell them shipped for $6 for one then $4 each additional condom.

If you're interested post here and PM me please.

I've got a fabric left - so if you need one for a LAW or nasty or something - PM me and we can work something out.

Nice! Shartley had looked into doing Hawaiian print at one time, but I don't know what ever became of that.

Update!
They're now capped with a full pouch of 1000 Denier Cordura.

Same price as before.

I replaced the pic of the inside.

If I had the right fabric I would offer these as well, but they just don't seem to have any whenever I go to the fabric shops... at least not with patterns small enough that when used for barrel wraps you could tell it was a Hawaiian pattern.

Mine do not have a pocket of cordora, but a strip of webbing (much thicker and cordora) and then blow out corners for more strength. Both would do the job IMHO, just two different ways of going about it and one a lot more rugged than the other.

yeah, I tried the webbing strap - but when I shot into it I got some spray through the fabric around the webbing - so I decided on the tough full pouch. I've shot a dozen balls into some test units - very messy on the barrel but no spray or leakage.

PC007 - PM me and I'll give you my paypal address. I've got some on my shelf right now - I can mail them to you right away.

You will find that happens with almost all fabric that looks "nice". The way to avoid this is to use the fabric as an outer layer ONLY. In other words, your barrel wrap is made of a strong fabric (such as Duck Cloth) with a reinforced webbing tip, and the decorative outer fabric for looks only. That is how I make mine, and trust me it is THE way to go.

But like I said, mine have other safety features that prevent side blowouts or any seam issues as well. You of course can make them any way you want, just take my suggestions for what you think they are worth. Of course I don't sell mine for $4 and $6 either... they are a bit more than that.

I also hope folks don't think I am trying to divert sales from you... I am not. Barrel wraps don't sell well overall and when folks can buy a wrap for less money (and does the job) they tend to pay for the one that costs less.

Good luck with sales and I hope you take my suggestions in the spirit they are given.
