It’s February and you know what that means, girls. It’s time to wrap it before you tap it, bag it up, and whatever other euphemism you prefer for using a condom and having safe sex.

This month, though, it’s also fun to bag it up in another way–with these innovative condom-inspired bags, totes, and purses made to look like SKYN condoms.


Designed by Fashion Institute of Technology student Maggie Kervick (Bags by Mags), the bags are meant not only to strike up quite the conversation, but “break down the stereotype that if a guy has a condom he is considered ‘prepared,’ but if a girl has a condom she is considered a ‘tramp’,” Kervick has said.

The bags are a part of the LifeStyles condoms “I’m Covered” Campaign, promoting self-respect and a proactive approach to sexual health. So when you’re in the mood, don’t forget to bag it up with the Living in SKYN tote ($55), the Dirty Little SKYN cosmetic bag ($25) or the I’m a Slave for SKYN wristlet ($20). Even better? They all come with sex ed info and a box of condoms.
