Rubbers on Rails

filed under: Design for Sex by Melissa Gira

Condoms 2.0
Condoms 2.0. Observe: LifeStyles sporting some serious Helvetica Bold.

Durex 2.0
(See also: Durex’s ForPlay line, with trendy rounded corners for her pleasure.)

Babeland
Sidenote: Babeland dropped the “Toys in…” what seems like way back now, but check the sleek, techsexy positive/negative logo (and more with the Helvetica).

Send in your in-the-field images of any new releases, and let us know if they really can get your sex life out of beta.

    Hate to burst your bubble (please excuse the pun), btu that’s not actually Helvetica on the Lifestyles package.

    Tell it like it is, Mike, but tell us the font, too. You can’t leave a girl hanging. Even if she’s been fucked hard enough to confuse her sans serifs.
