I’ve heard stories about guys trying to use all sorts of things… chocolate bar wrappers, glad wrap, hopes and dreams….
None of those things are anywhere near close to being effective as a condom 😉 haha
The only thought’s I have reading through these alternatives…. “Just, What??????“

I know right @Curiosity and @NickiPower. I had the same reaction, like ouch!! I didn’t get details lol
Hopefully it was Cherry-Ripe-wrapper-type foil, not aluminum foil!
Hahaha yes @NikkiPower about Offspring!!! I definitely remember cringing in that episode thinking surely Nina would know better… she’s an OBGYN!? 😀
