I have nothing but admiration for companies that produce products meant to make safer sex easier. Really, who wants to carry a wad of condoms stuffed in the bottom of a purse or shoved into a wallet? Don't we all need a better way to get our supplies from medicine cabinet to tryst?

The makers of Just In Case|Just in case saw a need for a something which would encourage women to carry their own protection, instead of relying on their partners to provide it. This mother-daughter team has been working since 2003 to design gorgeous, discreet compacts that would meet the need for a private way to transport disease prevention and pregnancy protection.

At only 2.5" square, the Just In Case looks more than anything like a fancy pill box or a powder compact. A hard plastic outer shell houses a shiny metal liner with lid; this is imprinted with a stylized heart shape. The product ships in a thin pink organza bag, so it's perfectly packaged for gift-giving or sharing with a friend.

Lift Just In Case's plastic outer lid and you'll find a mirror for lipstick checking or flirting with the cute boy behind you. Click open the inner lid and there's room for a pair of condoms, or a condom and a couple miniature lube packets. With just the outer lid open, no one would guess what's beneath the inner lid.

If you're shy about opening up anything that holds condoms, the inner case is so highly polished that you could do a decent makeup check on the Just In Case's bottom surface. How handy is that?

Repurpose Just In Case for aspirins, tiny treasures or even love notes on non-date days. Or keep it in your purse all the time, just in case (ha, get it?) you have the chance for an unexpected fling.

An excellent choice for discreet, pretty condom carrying.
