MAPA condom production

Rubbers are called rubbers because, well, they're made of rubber. Or to be more exact, from natural latex rubber. Natural latex rubber in the form of milky juice is drawn from the bark of rubber trees which are cultivated in Asia. This natural latex rubber is then further processed in Germany, using a complicated technical procedure.

After several days of ripening and hours of stirring, long rows of glass bulbs are immersed repeatedly in the mixture and dried at regular intervals.

These are the origins of the condom. The famous rolling opening is then added, before the condoms are vulcanised for about 20 minutes at a temperature of over 100 degrees celsius. This process, otherwise known as "baking", is what gives the condoms their elasticity. The condoms are then powdered, subjected to an individual electronic test, dampened, rolled and sealed in airproof packaging. During the production process they are subjected to repeated random quality checks.

All of the special shapes, lubricants, fragrant coatings and colours which are used in MAPA condoms are subjected to extensive tests and, of course, comply with the strictest conditions laid down by the law. So much technology for love? You won't notice any of that while you're using them - in matters of love, only the feeling counts.
