altMitt Romney just started receiving Secret Service protection last week, but now the Republican presidential candidate (or more precisely, an image of him) is doing some protecting.

A company is slapping the former Massachusetts governor’s face on a new line of its contraceptive products, as first reported by TMZ.com.

RomneyCondoms.com declares, “Despite Mitt’s inability to stick to a position, Romney condoms are great for any position.”

One of the benefits of the Romney condoms, the site claims, is it “keeps unemployment low by preventing additions to the work force.”

But it’s not cheap to protect oneself with the White House hopeful’s condom (which weren’t approved by the GOP frontrunner) — a single Romney rubber costs nearly $5.

The Romney campaign did not immediately return a request for comment.
