Included in this box of twelve of Lifestyle's bestselling condoms are four Ultra Sensitives, four Ribbed Pleasures, and four Studded. Each style is unique, and I'm so glad I get a samplin of the different types all in one box!

Lifestyles seems to make good quality condoms, and they've become one of my favorite condom brands. Their motto of "Feel Good Protection" is absolutely right, because their condoms are comfortable and not too tight, they protect against the same things as other condoms effectively (like pregnancy and STDs, although you must use the condoms correctly, and there is never a 100 percent guarantee, though they will still help narrow the chances a lot), and have an almost unbreakable quality about them. They seem very strong and well made, and I've never had one break that I can remember.

We'll start with the Ribbed Pleasure condoms that Lifestyles put in this box of twelve. These feel much like Trojan's Ultra Ribbed condoms, but for some reason my girlfriend liked these better. They weren't as painful as the lines weren't so prominent, but you could still feel the ribs. These definitely smell of latex, which means if you are allergic to latex you probably shouldn't use them or the other two types in this box, and if you decide to taste these they'll taste of latex and the lubricant on them. The lube on the Ribbed Pleasures is smooth and stays put well. Neither my body nor my girlfriend's body had any reaction to the lube, or the latex condoms themselves. These can be used for anal or vaginal intercourse according to the users choices, and they are great for users who like extra texture for their condoms.

Next up are the Studded condoms in the package. These were my favorites because of my girlfriend's sexy and very obviously pleased reaction. She's a big lover of studs and textured condoms, but she doesn't have a big passion for ribbed condoms as much as for studded condoms. These, she told me, felt wonderful, and we're both looking forward to using these again. These are latex as well, so again with the warning to those allergic. These will also taste and smell of latex, but the lubricant is smooth on these condoms as well and evenly dispersed all over the entire condom, making it a perfect studded piece of necessary equipment for our daily intercourse. I'd say these are also great for vaginal and anal intercourse, and I can assure you that Lifestyles did a great job making these studded condoms. We love them.

Ultra Sensitives were the last type in the box, and the last that we tried. For any condom buyer and user who prefers a simple condom with smooth lubricant and a flared shape that gives the head of the penis or toy extra room, these will definitely do. They still taste and smell of latex of course, and the same warnings for those allergic apply (I'm sure you're tired of me giving the same old warning, although I am basically compressing three different condom reviews into one, as there are different types of condom included and I would give that warning for all three). These are great for vaginal or anal too, and are the first I would use for anal, especially for a newbie or sensitive user. These are perfect on a day you just want that simple roll-on condom for any basic use, and I will definitely be buying these again, too.


Remember, though, that any and all of these may feel tight on you, your partner, or a toy. They did for us.

This counts as kind of a follow up review, and I just wanted to weigh it in. When using these, they seemed REALLY tight. Almost too tight for me, and it kind of hurt. But it wasn't the end of the world...
