Came across this article about mistakes that people make using condoms – http://www.menshealth.com/sex-women/15-condom-mistakes-youre-making/slide/14 . Apparently up to 3% of people re-use theirs??? Not good!

@ElleBelle I can’t even master the art of wrapping left overs with glad wrap, let alone anything else!
