These were an impulse buy a few months ago, in an effort to mix it up a bit. I bought these and a couple other different kinds (separate reviews for them). Figured hey, why not give em a shot?

The package was a black cardboard box, inside 10 foil wrapped packets strung together in sets of 5. As per our routine, we separated them in to singles and tossed em in our box. (We get several different kinds and mix em all up. That way we never know what we're getting when we reach in!) A good mix later and well, it was a few days before one came up. First thing we noticed about them was the packaging seemed to be a bit more of a pain to get into. Don't know if that was a factory thing or if they made the packages stronger, but it was a bit of a pain to get into the package. The condom rolled on just fine and even had a small amount of extra room which is a welcome thing for my hubby. He's right in the middle of sizes so the regular ones usually are too tight.

Now this thing has a ribbed texture and is ultra thin. The ribs provide a nice breakup from the usually boring smooth texture of most condoms without being over the top. If you want really pronounced ribbing, then I'd recommend going for a toy featuring that. In our opinion, the best feature of these is the ultra thin. I could barely feel the condom there once it warmed up to the temp of his skin. He said that he still felt it there, but it being a lighter material made it more comfortable for him. The ribbing didn't do anything for him.

These are also lubricated. We found that the lubricant was more than sufficient to our needs, but those who require more than average lubrication should look for a water-based lubricant to combine with these.

Overall we found that while we like these, we have no plans to use them exclusively. We'll keep em in our mix box though!

We've still got these in our mix-up box and still enjoy them popping up every now and again, but they're still not a favorite for us. We find that prolonged use with one of these tends to chafe and dry me out. For shorter encounters though, these are great!
