But a condom made from the cow part is one of 11 ideas to win $100,000 from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in its reinvent-the-condom competition.

Another winning proposal uses a material that shrinks when it warms up on the body so it provides a perfect fit. Yet another team combined opening the condom package with application — in a single quick motion — so there's no more fumbling in the dark.

Back in March, the Gates Foundation challenged scientists to design a condom that men or women would actually want to use. The goal was to develop "new condoms that significantly preserve or enhance pleasure," according to the foundation's website.

6. I used to use condoms that came with an "applicator cup" when I was young.

They cost twice as much, but it was worth it to me at the time.

Especially since putting a regular condom on inside-out meant irritating my urethra with spermicide.

Is that TMI?

11. I remember those - my main objection to them was the name

As I recall, it was "Mentor", which seemed a little condescending and belittling. But the product itself certainly helped during the early, awkward, inexperienced and fumbling days...

[Ian David]

15. Yes! I couldn't remember the name! They should have just called it, "This End Up." n/t

8. Kind of gives new meaning, or maybe added emphasis to the old meaning, to the phrase

"Where's the beef?"

made in accordance with those religions' sacred texts.
