The QUACK epidemic had been sweeping the duckpond. QUACK, Quite Ugly And Contagious Koodies, was a very nasty virus indeed. There was no cure. Experts said that if you used a condom while floating with other Ducks then you lessened the risk of catching it. The three Yellow Duckies always floated together and didn't want to stop. QUACK was a worry so they agreed to use a condom from now on.

This is the top scoring condom photo in this challenge, for me anyway. The humour element (use of ducks and clever title) did it for me.
In terms of the photo... it suffers because of the multiple shadows from the multiple light sources, the open wrapper is too dominant/distracting, despite you doing well to place it outside of the DOF... perhaps arranged differenly, it might have worked better (for me... perhaps?).
Whatever, I think it's a silly, senseless idea and I'm tired of looking at condoms for this challenge. However, I'll not vote with my personal feelings about your choice of subject matter. Condoms are for safety and the photo is excellent. I'd be embarrassed to have this as a ribbon winner or even a photo in my portfolio but certainly you must not. I'm sure you could say the same about photos in my portfolio. Regardless of my feelings I'm giving you a 10. I hope your happy although I'm sure my comments are not very helpful.
I'm not sure what the point of including duckies in this was. The yellow contrasts nicely with the blue, though the glare on the condom wrapper is a bit bright.
