Condoms & weaving

2012-03-25 09:34:12.862267+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Traditional Indian sari weavers have found a cheap lube for their looms - from condom packets.

The weaver and his three adolescent sons visit the local health center every week to collect a stack of condoms. Every morning, they neatly stack the pack of condoms in a box before they start weaving intricately designed saris, tablecloths and brocades for their customers in Europe, America and Asia.
