Latex ultrasound probe covers

[glovepopper]

Has any of you tried inflating them? Very similar to condoms, without reservoir tip. They are made lubricated or dry (powdered), packed individually or into the plastic bag.

I really want to try them out. Are they any more durable than condoms?

I've just ordered a box of 144 from Medisave in the UK. I'll do a review and post some pictures when they arrive :-)

They are about the size of a standard condom, but without the horrible lubricating gunk on them, so much easier to tie :-)

...pretty much identical to a condom.

...and they are strong too. Quite hard to pop, despite feeling just like a condom. I've been able to ride them without them popping. I put one on the electric pump and at one stage I thought the pump wasn't going to be powerful enough. The 'condom' got huge and really hard until it finally went off with a bang and shredded in to hundreds of shards, which is something I've not had with a condom before.

I also tested these ultrasound latex probe covers with a pump, and they burst quite loudly:

Ask for them at your local pharmaceutical stores or search online stores.

I inflated 15 of them and had a right pop-fest when I dived on to them

Can they take more punishment than a balloon?
