Empty carton of 3 'Get Lucky' Type A condoms (1 flavoured, 1 ribbed, 1 coloured), with instruction leaflet, manufactured by Healthline Products Ltd, England, c1991 (expiry date March 1996)

Part of a small personal collection of condoms and packaging dating from around the 1990s, this product is an example of the increased use of condoms internationally following the emergence of HIV and AIDS. Previously marketed as contraception, condom products diversified as they began to be targeted at a wider range of people, which led to new flavours, textures, and colours.
