It turns out that Dunlap is the condom division of SP Tyres UK Limited. This
is for marketing and legal considerations and not generally know outside the
company. You may remember the unsuccessful Bungee Condom of several years ago.

BTW, Do you know what all those codes mean that are stamped around the open
end of a condom?

484 is a relatively soft compound for better performance in "wet" conditions.

204 is the hardest currently offered, for those who need extra support and
better wear characteristics.

If you've never had the need to unroll a condom all the way, you probably
never were aware of this trivia.
