Contents packed in an old Q-Tip container:

  • 1 Sterile pad, 2 inches by 2 inches
  • About 2 feet of medical tape, flattened out to fit
  • 1 large bandage
  • 2 average size bandages
  • 2 mini bandages
  • 1 Antiseptic towelette
  • 3 Alcohol prep pads
  • 1 packet of triple antibiotic ointment
  • 1 dose packet of aspirin
  • 1 dose packet of acetaminophen
  • 1 dose packet of benadryl
  • 2 chewable pepto bismol tablets
  • 1 packet of BC powder

I think that's everything I put in there anyways, hopefully nobody ever needs to use it, but it's destined to go in our glove box.

Edited because I just added 2 sealed pepto bismol tablets, because why not, they fit neatly in there too.

Edit 2: I added a packet of BC powder. Aside from the typical headache or body pain, they're also good as a fever reducer.

Edit 3: I added 2 additional alcohol prep pads for a total of 3, easy fit.

LMFAO! I hear ya there, but I work on vehicles and ride BMX flatland, not much funny business for me these days.

Though, you do have something of a point, aside from the intended use for a condom, they can also be used for off-label purposes such as transporting water or even in a pinch at least try to half-ass fix a leaking vacuum line or some shit..

I dunno, I might actually consider that, if I can fit anything else in there anyways...

    It's not a first-aid thing, more a survival thing, but:

    You can blow up a condom very large and use it as a floatie in an emergency.

    Floaties, water skin, slingshot rubber, and the most important one you have in a first aid kit: tourniquet.

    That one condom in the emergency kit wasn't for sex, it was for dealing with a fall that resulted in a bone poking out of the skin or similar.
