Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

False. The US regulations (which only recently were loosened in the last couple of years) made sizing half irrelevant. Even if the main portion was sized correctly, due to the regulatory agency not wanting to buy different sized testing machines/attachments, the ring at the base was the same size for every condom.
This cuts off circulation to like half of men. Like, to numbing levels.
That could be the reason why this is a complaint that I read about online but have never heard in real life. Once again: Americans having sub-par products.
You could try to import condoms from countries with health and safety regulations that make sense then.
What makes you think that they'd allow the sale of foreign products that don't meet the standards that domestic ones have to?
You are right, "import" is the wrong word. I should have said "smuggle" instead.
