Condom shop

A hand-painted condom is not something you improvise. Here is what you need to know before ordering.

How do Condomerie novelty condoms work?

The Condomerie brand, founded in the Netherlands in the 1980s, was one of the first to treat the condom as a design and gift object. Its flagship products are hand-painted on CE-certified natural latex condoms, meaning they meet European safety standards EN ISO 4074 and are therefore functional, not just decorative.

The paint is applied to the individual packaging and sometimes to the latex itself, depending on the series. XL sizes make up more than 70% of the Condomerie catalog, a choice that is both marketing-based and practical: the larger size is statistically better tolerated in terms of comfort, which reduces the risk of breakage due to excessive tension. The whole thing is packaged in a neat box, making it naturally an original gift for birthdays, bachelorette parties, or Valentine's Day.

The different types of novelty condoms

• Sports series (F1, Ferrari, Mercedes): hand-painted automotive designs, often the most popular as gifts for motorsports fans.
• Pop culture series (robots, animals, patterns): illustrated with characters or humorous motifs, more in the gag-gift or decoration register.
• Individual formats in gift boxes: neat packaging ready to be gifted directly, without the need for additional wrapping.
• Bundles and assortments: several designs grouped together to vary the mood or complete a set with other naughty games.

How to choose the right novelty condom

• Check the CE certification: even for a gift, ensuring the product complies with the EN ISO 4074 standard guarantees that it can be used safely.
• The XL size: the majority of items are in XL format (nominal width ≥ 56 mm); suitable for most, but check if you are looking for a classic standard.
• The occasion: sports series are suitable for a man's birthday, pop culture series for a bachelorette party gift or a party favor bag.
• Pairing with other products: these condoms pair well with a latex-compatible water-based lubricant for a complete gift set.
• Storage: check the expiration date upon receipt; hand-painted condoms have the same storage requirements (cool, dry place, away from direct light) as standard ones.
