When people think of fashion items and gender, they usually think of things such as purses, athletic clothing, and shoes. However, when it comes to highly gendered products, condoms are some of the most gender driven, and overlooked, products on the market today. With sex being an important aspect within every society, as well as our current awareness of sexually transmitted diseases, one can observe every aspect of the condom (such as it manufacturing, advertising, and societal effects), in order to gauge how societies view gender and the product itself.
