When it comes to condoms, the Trojan Fire and Ice condom ads a little bit of flare to what is usually a pretty boring and not always well liked tool for protection against pregnancy and STDs. First, as for the fit of the condom, in the picture it appears to have a bit more room at the head than in reality. This is a "regular" sized condom. For someone on the larger side in diameter, this condom fit very tightly. There was very little room at the head of the condom for freedom of movement. For me, compared to the Trojan Ecstasy condoms which tend to fit me more loosely at the top, this condom was like a wetsuit for a deep sea dive. I realize there are various different preferences when it comes to condom fit, and for some, this condom may be perfect. All in all, the fit did not necessarily take away from the effect the condoms were designed for, which is facilitating and stimulating arousal of both parties. It should be noted that this condom does not have any ribbing or extra latex additions. The arousal methods are strictly via lubrication.

The Fire and Ice could be accurately compared to Icy Hot in some ways. It does have a warming quality to it that is quite pleasurable, while also having the tingling of a cold or mint variety that in the opinion of the wearer, was not always pleasurable, and sometimes distracting. It seemed to me that the intensity of the icy portion seemed to vary by condom, or maybe varied by the way I put it on. Sometimes the icy tingle would verge on the brink of a painful burn, while other times it would be a low grade tingle that was very stimulating and fun. Never did it provide such discomfort that I would have to take it off, but it wasn't always a welcome addition to the typical condom equation. From the female prospective, this sensation will not directly replace your go-to arousal lubricant, but from an internal prospective during sex, it does provide a fun and pleasurable sensation that you don't find in every condom. As a toy protector for women, this product is certainly fun just given its arousal properties. However, depending on how much lubricant you normally need during any given session, this condom may not provide you enough all on its own. This condom could be even cooler if it had some ribbing to go along with its lubrication sensations.

For the record, we never had any issues with durability of these condoms (2-3 boxes worth). Even with use of our Lelo Tiani, we never experienced any kind of tearing or other durability issues that would render the condom useless. All in all, this condom is good for anyone who wants to try something new and isn't afraid that they may not like it.

We don't use these quite as much as we used to. We have shifted to some other "his and hers" lubricants that we like a little more. This was a great intro though.
