Vietnamese police have confiscated around 345,000 used condoms that were cleaned and resold as new.

Dozens of large bags filled with used condoms were found in a warehouse in Binh Duong.

The bags weighed over 360kg and contained an estimated 345,000 condoms.

Police detained a woman who said the used condoms were boiled in water, dried and reshaped on wooden dildos before being repackaged and sold.

She received $0.17 for every KG of recycled condoms she produced.

The owner of the warehouse received a “monthly input of used condoms from an unknown person.”
