NEW DELHI - Only a quarter of condoms made in India  are used for sex, most 
of the others are used to make saris, toys and bathroom  slippers, a newspaper 
reported Saturday.  
The condoms are valuable to manufacturers because of the lubricant on them.  
Sari weavers place the condoms on their thread spools and the lubricant on the 
 prophylactics is rubbed off on the thread, making it move faster through 
their  sewing machines, The Economic Times newspaper quoted an Indian industry 
official  as saying.  
Sari makers also turn the condom's inside out, place them on their fingers  
and use the high-quality lubricant to polish gold and silver threads used in 
the  traditional Indian women's outfits.  
India manufactures more than 1 billion condoms annually to check population  
growth and curb the spread of _HIV_
