ok, this is going to be a little lewd, but if a 300-ply sheet of this stuff is as strong as steel. wouldn't a 10-ply sheet of this stuff be atleast as strong as a modern condum, and 1/30th as thick? just putting that out there to mull over.

Hopefully it doesn't crinkle like a grocery bag - thin or not that would be an unsexy feeling and sound

and with that kind of durability, it could even be reusable and dishwasher safe!

Wow, you have a point! Also if you look at the manufacturing technique, how condoms are molded and how this is molded, we could be only months out from a product.

Don't feel bad about feeling lewd, if it makes you feel any better, I saw the word "University" and plastic bags in the photo below it and imediately thought this article was about drugs.
