We had an example of organics going a bit too far yesterday, and here's an even more graphic example of recycling getting completely carried away: these hairbands - sold in market stalls and cheap stores worldwide - are made from old used condoms. Eew!
It sounds dodgy enough, and according to new claims, it is: It's reported that there's a certain risk of bacteria being transmitted to the girls, as a lot of us ladies put our hair bands in our mouths while we gather hair to put it in a ponytail.
Girls, if you're thinking of using these hair bands, please don't. They're USED condoms for god's sake! Used! They were in and on some stranger's genitals! However much you're into recycling DON'T DO IT! [Via Dollymix]
