#1 Condoms Have Many Uses

We know what they are manufactured for, but did you know there are many more uses for the condom? This brilliant DIY guru just came up with these amazing ideas for those small, stretchy, impervious sheaths and you'll be asking "why didn't I ever think of that?"

Before we get started and discover the ways the condom sitting in your nightstand drawer can be put to use, remember that they will all need to be non-lubricated condoms. Otherwise, this will all just be a huge mess.

#2 Open Up Tight Jar Lids

Having a tough time opening that stubborn lid? Just unroll a regular non-lubricated latex condom and place it over the top of the jar and give it a quick twist.

#3 No More Stuck Jelly Jars

Don't toss out that jar of honey or jelly because the jar is stuck, this foolproof method is a money saver and great for those with poor arm and hand strength. The lid will easily twist right off because there is less moisture from your palms and a little friction.

#4 Make Waterproof Bandages

It's as simple as it looks, but it works perfectly. Do you have a problem bathing with a bandage on your wound because it just gets wet and falls off? A condom can help you with this problem too!

Just cut the end off of a condom long enough for the area you want to cover and place it on the bandage and go ahead and take a good long shower or bath. The condom will grasp tightly but gently and keep moisture out with ease.

You can even use a piece of gauze on sore areas of the foot and wrap a condom over it to keep the friction and pressure away.

#5 DIY Elastic Bands

These 'rubber' bands (no pun intended) will hold your things together tighter and better than regular elastic bands you buy at the office supply store, and they're great to use around the house to keep things held together.

#6 Just Cut The Condom Straight Across For Various Sized Rubber Bands

To make a variety of elastic bands just unroll a non-lubricated condom completely, then carefully cut it along its width to create rings.

To prevent the rings from breaking when stretched you'll need to ensure your cuts are straight and have no ragged edges otherwise the band will snap and break. Cut in one swift motion across the condom, and make sure the latex is not bunched up when cutting it.

#7 Quickly And Easily Keep Your Cables & Cords Managed

By cutting the condom at different widths, you will be able to make different sized bands which will be more easily used in holding together loose items than one standard sized rubber band. They're surprisingly strong and are a great way to quickly and eeasily get about 20 elastics at once for keeping pens, utensils, or cables and cords nicely managed.

#8 Keep A Condom Full Of Water In A Sock

Most of you will probably think of the days as a prankster when you filled condoms with water and tossed them around like water balloons. In fact, due to their rubbery elasticity, condoms are ideal for keeping water in. So when you go camping, hiking, or for a long bike ride you can put a condom filled with water in a sock and you will have plenty of fresh water when you feel thirsty!

Put the condom in the sock, fill with cool water, tie a knot in the condom and you're ready to roll!

#9 Each Sock Will Hold 2 Liters Of Water

You know that condoms are very flexible, but they are also very thin and fragile and can puncture or tear as well. This is the reason we need to keep the filled prophylactic in the sock. But don't worry, there is room for over 2 liters of liquid in each sock. That should be enough to keep you hydrated in an emergency.

You can even fill a condom with just a little cool or warm water, depending on the weather, and keep in in your sock during long walk and treks in order to give your feet some extra cushioning. Now that's Gellin'!

#10 Instant Ice Pack

Hurt your back, twist your foot or sprain an ankle? You need an icepack!

Fill up a condom with 1 part rubbing alcohol and 3 parts water, tie a knot in the end and stick the tied 'package' in the freezer for about 45 minutes. This will leave the cold pack malleable and able to contour to wherever you put it.

#11 Keep The Swelling Down With Rubbers

The semi-frozen condom pouch will be flexible and easily manageable in hard to reach places or on curved surfaces of your body. For an extra bonus, you can hold the frozen condom in place on your foot, ankle, leg or arm by cutting the ends off a second condom and pulling it over the entire frozen pack and your ankle (or arm). It will be tight but the condom is very flexible and will hold it there for a long time so that your hands are free and don't freeze!

#12 Make A Slow Cooked Meal

Use your oven and a condom like a slow cooker and make a delicious meal in no time. Make sure you are using the NON-LUBRICATED prophylactics. Unroll the condom completely, then stuff it will small amounts of meat, veggies and other savory things, then top off with some type of gravy or sauce. Set a pot of water on the stove until boiling, once boiling turn heat down to low.

#13 You Like It Hot But Just Let It Simmer

The condom can withstand a lot of heat from body friction but it's not advised to put the condom in water temperatures above 100?F. Make sure you turn the heat to a simmer, place your tied dinner bag into the water and let it cook for about 1 1/2 hours or until done.

#14 Create A Delicious Meatloaf Dinner

The tightness and grip of the condom will wrap your meats, veggies and sauce into a meatloaf type of wedge that you can then unroll, plate, and serve with your favorite side dish. Amazing.

#15 Let The Kids Make Balloon Animals

It's always a party when you open a condom, and nothing says 'party' more than balloon animals (except maybe alcohol or confetti). Making a balloon animal is easy with condoms, as they inflate really large and can withstand the shear stress from twisting them into shapes.

#16 It's Always A PARTY When You Have Condoms

Using a non-lubricated and unused condom, unroll and blow it up. You'll want the condom almost completely full of air, but not so full that you can't twist it into shapes. The just grab a magic marker and draw faces or doodles on the creation for a pretty fun and artistic masterpiece.

*Don't put it over your head, that's dangerous and just stupid.

#17 Keep Electronics Waterproof

We already know the condom can keep moisture away, so it only makes sense that it would be awesome for preserving our electronics when we are going to be in or near water.

#18 Place Phones And Other Devices In A Tied Condom To Keep Moisture Away

Condoms can stretch over most smartphones and other electronics, then tied tightly to make them waterproof. It can even fit over a tablet, if you happen to have the Magnum Sized available to use. Pull the condom over the electronic item and tie it two or three times in a keen knot, and it will be safe from any damage done by water or moisture.

#19 You Can Still Use It With A Condom Over It

You will still be able to use your phone or device while it's covered. I was able to use the capacitive touch screen with this phone through the condom, and even when it was underwater!

#20 Make Fishing 'Bobbers'

Get to the fishing hole without a bobber? Better check your back pants pocket or your wallet for that extra condom. If you're caught with your pants down without a fishing bobber, an inflated condom can do in a pinch. Inflate it just halfway, then tie it to the end of your fishing line for an impromptu inflatable fishing friend.

You might get some weird looks, but they'll all admire your skills when you pull a large mouth bass from the lake.

#21 Fruit Savers

Oh, can't finish that apple or banana? Put a condom over it. A non-lubricated condom may not be ideal for keeping your fruit from turning brown, but it can do the job just as well as plastic wrap, and can save your fruit if you're on a walk or picnic without any extra packaging materials.

It's not one we would try, but just look at all the cool and fun ways you just learned to use a regular everyday sexual enhancement tool.
