The present invention provides a packaged condom comprising a sealed package and, within the package, a condom comprising natural rubber latex and/or synthetic polyisoprene, wherein the condom comprises, on one or more surfaces thereof and in contact with the natural rubber latex and/or synthetic polyisoprene, an aqueous lubricant. The aqueous lubricant comprises a thickener and, in a total amount of from 5 to 25 % by weight of the lubricant, one or more organic compounds independently selected from the group consisting of a polyhydric alcohol and a sugar, each of said one or more organic compounds having at least 4 hydroxyl groups and a molecular weight of from 120 to 10000. The invention further provides a method for preparing a packaged condom, a packaged condom obtainable by or obtained by this method, and the use of the aqueous lubricant to lubricate one or more surfaces of a condom comprising natural rubber latex and/or synthetic polyisoprene while maintaining the transparency of the condom during storage within a sealed package.
