To fully appreciate a studded condom as a female, you have to have an ultra-sensitive vagina.I guess mine isn't ultra-sensitive because I did not detect much texture, so most of the pleasure I derived from this condom came from the expressions my partner made while wearing a Durex Intense Sensation condom. I also appreciated the security it offered. Every Intense Sensation condom we tried never broke, and he said that he never felt worried when we were getting more enthusiastic in bed.

My partner is average in length and girth, so it fit him well, but if you're longer than 7 inches you might need to find a different condom. This condom is 2 inches wide from base to head, so if you are smaller you'll find this to be baggy and risk having it slip off, and if you are a man of girth you'll find the fit to be snug.

At 0.0024" thick, which is average by condom standards so sensation for him through the condom wasn't much. With the addition of studs along the shaft, he sings (or moans) a whole different tune. The studs were moderately noticeable for him, and added a pleasant friction. He noticed that the studs seemed to make it easier to unroll the condom, and there was enough lubrication to do the job, though I prefer a slippery ride, so we added a few drops of water-based lubricant.

This condom features a reservoir tip and was unscented, but there was the usual smell of latex. In comparison to other brands, Durex condoms don't seem to have as strong a latex smell so it wasn't too hard to stomach. It is unflavored, but again there was the slightest hint of latex. A few dabs of flavored lube fixed that, and the studs were actually noticeable for me, even if it was only apparent when I used my mouth. A well-known reviewer on this site noted that these condoms were a salmon color, but the pack we bought were clear. I'm guessing Durex has switched from colored to clear recently as we have yet to come across a colored Intense Sensation condom.

I liked the condom but only because it performed as it should. We never experienced a breakage, and he enjoyed it enough. I think we'd use these again, but it's not a first-choice.

He liked the condom, but after having using Durex's Pleasuremax, which is studded, ribbed and flared, it didn't seem as mind-blowing. It also didn't provide a bare feeling as Kimono microthin condoms did, which he missed, but the studs and security compensated for the thickness. If you enjoy texture give this a go definitely, but if thinness is a major factor for you, you might want to look elsewhere. Despite its shortcomings, it's still a nice condom that we both enjoyed, and the price is reasonable.

3.5 stars from both of us because of price, strength, and feel for him.

If you add more lubrication, you might be able to feel the studs more, but I still found it to be just a sensation sans-intensity.
