No, Yes, Meh, Ick!

If you've been interested in trying any of the four condoms included in this pack, but didn't want to drop the money for a full box only to find out you hate it, I would definitely pick this up. Even if you end up hating all of the condoms, at least you only have a few to get rid of rather than feeling bad about getting rid of four whole boxes of condoms.

Overview: This is a set of 4 different condoms from Trojan, and is an affordable and convenient way to try out multiple styles of condom without having to go out and purchase whole boxes of each one individually. In this set you get 4 Twisted condoms, 4 sensations condoms, 2 intense ribbing condoms, and 2 fire and ice condoms.

General Information: The "average" condom is about 7.5" long, 2" wide at the base and along the shaft and in the head, and .0027" thick. That being said, it's really less about the statistics (in most cases) and more about the design from what I've seen.

The Intense: It's designed to be "intense" because of the very prominent ribs along the shaft, both up near the head and down towards the base. The ribs are very easy to feel with your fingers, and any orifice you insert them into should have no trouble telling they're there. They're quite a bit larger than average, coming in at 8.25" long, 2.5" across the head, and 2.25" across the shaft. They're average in thickness though. They also feature a reservoir tip and a semi-tapered design. A good fit for larger than average guys, but less so for average or less. On the plus side, they don't fall off of a smaller penis though. He felt as though it was reducing the amount of overall sensation (probably because of all the extra latex we had) and I felt as though the texture was a bit overwhelming. Not as bad once I warmed up a bit, but the ribs have a tendency to collect the lube between them rather than leaving the whole condom lubed. The lube that came with it was pretty nice, and lasted the whole time for us. The condom also does have that noticeable latex smell that may linger on the skin, but it didn't permeate the entire room.

The Twisted: This is a new twist on an older design, also featuring twisted heads. I wasn't that fond of the original design, but I did really like this one (more in depth review here). The design is neat because it looks a lot like ribbing, although it's more of a criss cross pattern than traditional ribbing that goes around the shaft. They do have a somewhat strong latex scent. It might not stink up the room, but it's definitely noticeable. The lube was adequate enough. These provide a very pleasant amount of internal stimulation for me, and got a less than helpful "they're condoms" from my husband.

The Sensations:In my box they were labeled as "Her Pleasure" condoms. I've reviewed those before, and have never had a bad experience with them. I didn't remember those having much ribbing, but these feature some ribbing along the entire shaft. The ribbing is fairly subtle; easy enough to feel with fingers but not enough to feel internally for most. I measured ours at about 7.5" long and about 2.5" across. They feel of average thickness, and wouldn't you know it? We're both still pretty neutral on these. We can feel that they're there, but they're not really distracting at all. They do come lubed, but I needed to add a bit more to feel comfortable. They also had a really low latex smell.

The Fire & Ice: The theory behind these is that you get some extra sensations while going at it, but in reality the sensations don't seem to last all that long. The cooling stands out more than the warming, and there's a strong scent of latex and mint. I measured these at about 7 3/4" without the reservoir tip, about 1 1/2" across the base, and just over 2" across at the head. The lube worked well enough, but after about 10-15 minutes we definitely felt like we wanted more, although we were able to finish shortly thereafter without. My husband didn't have much to say about these either, but you can read a more detailed review of them here.

The Safety Stuff: Real quick let's cover some condom related safety tips. Do add more lube if you feel like you're drying out. Lack of lube can cause increase friction and cause the condom to break. Don't add an oil based product for lube. The oil base can degrade the latex and also cause breakage. Use a water or silicone based lube instead. Do keep your condoms in a cool, dry location. Don't keep them in your glove box, in the wallet you sit on all day, or at the bottom of your purse. These are not good places for condoms. In the purse it could get punctured, and being in all that heat can also degrade the latex which is again, not good.
Experience
All in all, I'm glad we picked this box up. It gave us a chance to test out a bunch of different condoms without having to purchase larger boxes of condoms that we would then end up having to give away. We'll use up whatever's left, but I think the only one we'll really be looking more into is the twisted ones as those were the only ones that really stuck out as awesome in any way to me. My husband is just as painfully neutral as I am on most things, and to him, they were all condoms and he could still feel me but not as well as with an ultrathin condom or nothing at all. For those guys who are more sensitive about how much they can feel, none of these are going to do much in the way of feeling like nothing at all.
