is a sheath-shaped barrier device, used during sexual intercourse to reduce the
probability of pregnancy or a sexually transmitted infection. There are both
male and female condoms.

Forget the conventional use of
condoms which is sex because students at some higher learning institutions have
discovered a novel way of using them. Reach out for one, turn it inside out,
run it on a laptop screen and voila, it’s clean.
The practice of using condoms
is also common because apparently the lubricant found inside the condom is
perfect for cleaning the monitor of the laptop.

According to some students interviewed
carried out by Daily-mail.co.zm, the condoms are easily accessed at the school clinic dispensers
and anyone can walk there and get as many as they want.
To clean the screen, one of the
students, who identified himself as Joshua Mutale, said the condoms are turned
inside out before use.
I do not know what is in the
lubricant, but once you spread it across on the screen, then use a dry cloth or
toilet tissue for a finishing touch, you will be shocked at how clean and shiny
the laptop will be afterwards, Joshua said.
He said the practice is common
at the learning institution and that most students are not strangers to the
trend.
As far as he is concerned, he
has not noticed any visible side effects on his laptop since he has been using
condoms as a cleaner.
I do not know where that idea
came from or who discovered it, but I can assure you that it does work. I only
need four to five condoms and my laptop is looking brand new again because it
really shines, said Joshua.
Another student Lubuto Ngosa,
said some students said they only get condoms for their laptops, but are
embarrassed to go to the school clinic because condoms are associated with sex.
They ask from their friends.
And Chambwa Mpundu said condoms
are always associated with sex so, they are only used when they are in school
because their parents and guardians may not believe that condoms can clean
laptop screens.
We just use these condoms in
schools because if they were found in our possession when we close schools,
some of our parents would think we are engaging in pre-marital sex when they are
ever preaching abstinence, he said.
Meanwhile, an information and
communications technology specialist Clement Sinyangwe confirmed that there is
a component contained in the lubricant found in condoms which is also found in
recommended cleaning materials for laptop screens.
Mr Sinyangwe was, however,
quick to add that it was not wise to use condoms because it might have some
negative effects on the laptop screens.
