Degree of Brand Recognition When selecting condoms, 70% of the sex workers paid special attention to brand, production date and valid period, but only 40% of them cared about the place of origin (Table 23). Eight in ten (80.9%) of the sex workers in sauna/bath houses cared more about quality than valid period (69.1%) and production date (69.1%), leading their counterparts in other types of establishments this respect (Table 24). Three-quarters (76%) of the sex workers ages 25-29 paid special attention to brand, with higher percentage than their counterparts in other age groups (Table 25).

Favorite Condom Brands A multitude of condom brands are sold in China, as reflected in the tables on favorite condom brands among the sex workers. About 58.3% of both Yunnan and Sichuan sex workers had favorite condom brands (Table 26). However, for street sex workers and those above age 30 no particular brand stood out as the favorite (Table 27 and 28). Among others, “Strong Man,” “Ausny” and “True Man” were popular in both provinces. According to statistics, these brands accounted for 60% of the preferred brands among sex workers. Generally speaking, the top brands were: “True Man” (29.8%), “Strong Man” (20.2%), “Ausny” (15.3%), “Durex” (2.9%) and “Angel” (2.1%) (Table 29). More Sichuan sex workers were fond of “Strong Man” while more of their Yunnan counterparts liked “Ausny.” However, the other brands had almost the same popularity in both provinces. Of the top 5 brands, 33.3% of the street sex workers liked “Ausny,” and 4.8% of them liked “Angel,” at higher percentages than those in other types of sex work facilities (Table 30). Over one in ten (12.5%) of those at sauna centers liked “Durex,” at a higher percentage than those in other service industries. Of the top 5 brands, 68.8% of the sex workers below age 16 liked “Strong Man,” at a bit higher percentage than those in other age groups (Table 31). One-quarter (23.8%) of those above 30 and 20.1% of those below 16 liked “Ausny,” at higher percentages than those in other age groups. But the “Durex” supporters were in the age group of 19-29.
