I've always thought the regular Trojan condoms were pretty good, as much as condoms can be, but I wanted something even more. After trying some other "pleasure" varieties, the Honey and I tried out these ones, and we were a bit more than disappointed. It isn't that the condom is bad; it simply doesn't live up to its name!

Packaging
I think most will agree with me here; the box looks enticing. The dual colors look like "his and hers" and was very seductive for both my partner and I. I didn't notice anything special about the packaging of the individual condoms, though, but I often don't. We had no trouble with the discreetness of it. I've had less noisy packaging from other companies, but they made the same sound as usual Trojan condoms when ripping them open with my teeth.

Use
Like most of the other "special" Trojan condoms, I noticed a distinctive lubricant smell mixed in with the smell of latex as soon as the condom was out. However, this one was even stronger and worse. All of the chemicals used for the "fire and ice" sensation were noticeable from the get-go, and that was in itself a turn-off (though not so big as to turn me off of making love completely). He did not notice the smell. As we started to go, I noticed that the "fire" did not last very long nor was it very intense. I enjoy warming feelings and I wanted more! When the "ice" came around, neither one of us was close to finishing at all, and it did not feel good. It felt cool, but not like the type of cool that juxtaposes the heat in your loins. Trust me, after the disappointing fire, there was little heat to cool off anyway. Once the "ice" wore off, we were nowhere near done, but the lubricant seemed completely dry. After realizing we were getting nowhere, we decided to give each other some oral pleasure. First, the chemicals must somehow be incompatible with us, too, as instead of producing my usual wetness, we found only slightly sticky, FLAKY, dried bits of my natural lubricant. Gross. Second, while we can normally stand the typical lubricated condom taste (and it goes away after a little while), the taste of these extra chemicals lingered and were unbearable.

We tried using them a few other times, too. It seems that each condom is hit-or-miss with just how much "fire" and just how much "ice" comes in the packaging. Sometimes the "fire" got TOO warm, and other times the "ice" was a bit too cold. All times, however, the horrible smell was still there and the taste would not leave until after a sexy shower.

Bottom line
Though pretty in its packaging, it doesn't deliver. It smelled funny, tasted even worse, and the chemicals didn't work for us. Neither one of us enjoyed this condom! All the same, it never broke, even with his very vigorous thrusts, so it is a sturdy condom.

Avoid if...
If you don't like warming/cooling lubricants, obviously avoid this product. If you're looking for a fun way to spice up anal play, the sensations might be a bit rough on the sensitive skin there, so I would say avoid. Also avoid if you like to mix things up with any oral play post-penetration, and definitely avoid if you have a sensitive sniffer.

Try if...
If you enjoy both warming and cooling sensations, do try this at least once, especially if you are so passionate that other warming/cooling condoms break. If you don't mind smells or tastes, you may very well like this condom.
