100% Natural Condoms?

December 17 2009

The Brazilian government has formed a new company called Natex that produces 100% natural eco condoms by harvesting natural rubber from rubber trees found in the Amazon Jungle. Brazil being the largest single buyer of condoms in the world decided that it was more economical to produce a product from available natural resources than to rely on imports from foreign countries. Brazil has been importing condoms and distributing them free of charge as an effort to fight the spread of AIDS and HIV. By creating their own state run condom manufacturing plant, Brazil has been able to become less reliant on imports while at the same time create new jobs in a small struggling Amazon town in the North of Brazil. They claim that these are the only condoms in the world made 100% from natural rain forest.
