German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder's Social Democrats have picked an unorthodox way to try reaching voters: condoms in the party's bright red colour.
Red boxes containing 100 condoms with the slogan "Feel Good, SPD" are being sold at a gift shop at the party's headquarters for 44 euros (25.6 pounds), an SPD spokesman said on Sunday.
The spokesman confirmed a report in Sunday's Bild am Sonntag newspaper that included pictures of the prophylactics and their bright red box. The condoms are available in two different types.
Schroeder is in a tough battle for re-election on September 22. His centre-left SPD trails the conservative opposition by about four points in leading voter surveys.
