Hers
[French tickler]
No more fumbling in the dark (or rummaging through
a dark purse) for a condom when you need one!
This textured cozy sports an eyelash
"tickler" that helps conceal its contents,
and lets you know instantly what you've put your hand
on.
Have fun, use up some stash, and
invent your own design with any sock yarn and eyelash
you choose.
His [Ribbed for his
pleasure] For instant knitting gratification –
faster than a sock!
The K2, P1 ribbing allows enough
stretch to accommodate multiple condom packs (for
the optimistic) but holds a single pack securely.
The button closure keeps contents hidden.
Shown in manly red-and-black colorway.
