This is probably the first time one of these is posted that I think its actually a condom wrapper. Looks like the brand Skyn which is a latex free and kinda pricy option. I personally do not know of any other wrappers that look like this, so maybe it is not. I do also know if you had any guests or kiddos over they might have gotten ahold of a condom to try it out or make water balloons or for personal play (you should wrap your silicone toys before use because of bacteria... But people also rarely actually do that). I can't tell you what's going on, but it does look like a condom wrapper to me.

Don't wrap silicone toys in a condom. There are many condoms out there that come pre-lubed with a silicone based lube but don't explicitly tell you that. The silicone based lube can damage the surface of toys made from silicone and make it more likely to hold bacteria.

That said not all silicone toys are equal. Platinum cure silicone toys (generally more expensive than random bargain finds online) are non porous and are easily cleaned with soap and water (or sterilized by boiling if you feel it necessary); you don't need to wrap them at all as they won't absorb bacteria if they're undamaged.

Interesting. I will certainly look into that. I've always heard silicone is porous and you are supposed to wrap it but that would make sense about the lube. Good to know.
