Where to put 30,000 condoms in 3 months in a city with a population of 30,000?

Question

Strange question, but I have no idea where else one could hear serious thoughts on such a topic.
And so, there is a boarding house N in the city N in Siberia. He orders through a friend for 3 months 3 batches of condoms of 10,000 pieces. Condoms of the same brand. The population of the city is 30,000 people. Now the question is: WHY? He has been tormenting me for more than a day, maybe it's stupid, but the customer is serious and has never been noticed in anything strange. They motivate such orders as "for research"... Maybe someone has an idea about how to use condoms in such volumes?

Answer 1

Not so long ago I worked in medical / farm. sphere (traded in medical equipment), including medical rubber products (gloves, condoms, pears, etc.)
Big cities and diagnostic centers buy condoms in huge quantities for diagnostic purposes - ultrasound.
For ultrasound scanners, there are vaginal and recto-vaginal sensors - for obstetric studies (early terms), gynecology (uterus, ovaries), urology (prostate gland), rectal studies.
The condom is used as a means of hygiene. It is put on the sensor, lubricated with a special gel, and then injected directly for research. GKB 1 bought 60 boxes a month from us.
Quite normal practice, and their sea is wasted. For example, during the study, the condom may come off or move, forming a fold, and this interferes with the study. It is removed, a new one is put on and the research continues. Especially a lot of "rubber" is spent during rectal examinations - 3-4 pieces per examination.

Answer 3

What does this question on Habré do? I am for the purity of Habr!

Answer 4

Be that as it may, the topic is more interesting than a review of a phone. Although not profile, but what kind of IT specialist does not like fast ...

Answer 5

Previously, these products were quite popular among various scientists - some samples to pack, for example. There were many funny stories about buying large lots. Another option is doctors. They also have misuse (some kind of probe, for example, to protect - in the manner of rubber gloves). So there are a lot of things you can think of. Besides, how can you be sure that all three batches will be spent in 3 months? Maybe they buy it for the future.

Answer 6

Well... I'm afraid to write this... Are drugs sometimes packaged in condoms?

Answer 7

30,000 (general population) - 50% (old people, children) / 2 = 7,500 couples
30,000 (condoms) / 7,500 (couples) = each couple uses 4 condoms
4 times in 3 months, given that there are fewer couples and a certain percentage of couples do not use them, then quite normal numbers.

Answer 8

Proctology or)

Answer 9

Crash tests for sure.

Answer 10

Maybe there the expiration date has almost come to an end, and you need to have time to capitalize them quickly?
- you can build a pontoon bridge,
- wrap wasp nests,
- pull containers with mash on the neck to understand when the time comes,
- if they collected it for research ... then they explore the public reaction to this action, a la “What guesses will the people have “Why the hell do we need so many rubber bands?” Then they succeed.

Answer 11

Condoms are still used for gynecological examinations :). So maybe your customer just won some order to supply condoms to hospitals. Well, this is in addition to the fact that in pharmacies you can sell it for its intended use.

Answer 12

says:
This is a banal cashing of money. There is incomprehensible money, they buy condoms with them, sell them by purchase and voila - the money is primitively legalized.

Answer 13

but the customer is serious and has never been noticed in anything strange.

Up to this point)
In general, maybe they don’t have enough rubber gloves in hospitals.

Answer 14

Or maybe to provoke this discussion? )

Answer 15

Use as directed.

Answer 16

The very first thing that comes to mind is using it as a sealed package for something.

Answer 17

Will have 30,000 sex times

Answer 18

And are they multi-colored? Maybe a holiday...

Answer 19

Give it to China, they have problems with it there

Answer 20

Nndaa ... that's another joke!
On the subject:
1. I agree, the product can be used as a container, but it is unlikely.
2.… as a cutter, unlikely…
3.… one way or another as a tourniquet (or a rubber ring, for example, so that the gauze stays on the jar).
4. you can cut thin rubber pads for something ...
...
5. the products are almost identical and are quite suitable for calibrating (tuning) any devices.
In general, you can think of many applications (who has enough imagination for what), one thing is clear, the products are not used for their intended purpose, they are used as consumables (possibly for any devices on which people receive wellness procedures).
I once crawled through quite a few stores with women's stuff to find cheap wipes that do not leave scratches and lint on the scanner glass. Then I regularly bought them (make-up removal tampons ... from the same manufacturer) in the same place in packages. Saleswomen were surprised no less than you, until I split =)

Answer 22

Are they all there, *f*cked* or what?

Answer 23

maybe a little naive, but since the client is not a retail one, isn't it easier to ask him?

Answer 24

“Don't throw trash out the windows! It is lifted and inflated by children!”

Answer 25

I heard a story about geophysicists who bought up all the stocks of "Product No. 2" in the nearest village. For seismic studies, they poured explosives into the borehole, and then laid an electric detonator there. And everything was fine until the rock was dry, but when the water went, they had to pack each detonator in a separate rubber bag.

Answer 26

- "social" promotions

Answer 27

Maybe some research. They will distribute it to everyone for free, and then they will look at the discarded packages in which area the situation with sexual literacy is better. Or hand out to schoolchildren and see which schools are the most “perverted”. :)
Brad of course.

Answer 28

And what is wrong? Let's say the "average" man spends 1 condom per day. He needs 30 of them a month.
Accordingly, the entire batch will meet the needs of 1,000 "average" men.
So it won't be enough.

Answer 29

What can you say about the condoms themselves?
What kind of packaging - cardboard box, loose or tape in reels?
Lubrication type or lack thereof. Price.
Maybe they are generally used as a source of latex.

Answer 30

let them send me a batch of 10k condoms, I will tell them and you

Answer 31

Young Estonian sociologist Artur Sadovsky launches One condoms to compete with Durex

However, the formation of their business was not easy. The young people's company Vincent Holding OÜ took its first steps two years ago, but a batch of 30,000 condoms arrived in Estonia from the USA only in January.

Either this is some kind of magic number, or your Siberian customer decided to compete with One)

Answer 32

Isn't the boarding house called Hustler by any chance? Well, for veterans of that labor?

Answer 33

In Donetsk, earlier on February 14, they were distributed free of charge to everyone, and when buying a recharge, they were given out to the phone. Distributed for every holiday.
