Warning: This post is about royal prophylactics and includes photos of said prophylactics.

This post is also mostly for the benefit of the lovely Alex. Upon hearing that my only interest in the recent royal wedding was the amazing range of souvenir products available in the UK, she decided to help her Australian friend out by sending me a package of one of the more amusing items: the Royal Condoms.

After the cut is not really safe for work, unless you’re the poor bugger that had to process the customs declaration form.

The cover of the package, elegant and classy:

I love the line along the bottom: "Lie back and think of England"

The back includes such gems as:

“Like a Royal Wedding, intercourse with a loved one is an unforgettable occasion.”

“Regal Condoms for Royal Members”

And best of all:

This is a novelty product, not intended for use as a contraceptive.

Everything that came in the packet

The entire instructions are pretty hilarious, but I’m too lazy to type them all out. I did get a photo of the greatest piece though:

Butler and silver tray not included

The classiness, it overwhelms.

Speaking of which, because I can’t actually use these as contraceptives (which renders them kinda useless really) and I was dying to know what colour they were:

I am devastated that they didn't go with purple

All in all, pretty tame really. Perhaps I’m being a little childish for being so amused but really, non-functional condoms for a wedding???

In any case, many thanks to Alex for giving me some entertainment. I’m sorry it took me so long to find the camera to take the pictures!
