America: rubber - condom UK: rubber - something you use to erase pencil marks.
UK and others: Durex - Condom brand Others: Durex - sticky tape
US: Suspenders - things for holding trousers up UK: Suspenders - things for holding stockings up. Used with a suspender belt and with, or without, other underwear…
