How are condoms tested?

Years ago, Aksarbent read that condom molds were metal and that after the latex had dried, the molds, with the condoms still on them, were dipped into an electrolytic solution. If the condom had a hole, a light bulb turned on above the defective product. (We wondered what happened when a light bulb burned out.)

Anyway, all that seems to be old hat, as this LifeStyles promotional video illustrates during the industry's publicity offensive in February, National Condom Month.
