While this was in no way the worst condom ever, it certainly didn't live up to its name. When I first bought this condom years ago, I wasn't expecting anything amazing. In all honesty. I didn't feel the ribbing at all, and it didn't add anything extra, at least for pleasure-wise. But I will say that it did have more lubricant than most condoms, and the lube lasted longer as well. Other than that, it felt like your standard condom.

As for protection, the condom did its job, and I never had a problem with it breaking or slipping. It protected me from STD/STIs and pregnancies. As with any condom that helps lower the risk of STD/STIs and pregnancies, there is no guarantee that it will completely protect you from those things. Anytime you are involved in any sex act, you are at risk. No matter what, there is always a risk of one breaking or slipping.

Even though these didn't add anything to sex, I used them for a few years because, overall, they where not that bad, and they didn't dry out as quickly as other ones. That was a plus for me. I finally had to stop using them because I discovered that I have a latex allergy that has gotten worse over the years. That being said, these are made from latex, so if you do need to use lube with these, do NOT use oil-based lubes. Water-based lubes would be the ones you would want with these, but considering how well lubricated these already are, you may not need to. If you have a allergy to latex, avoid these!

I think this kind of condom is a hit and miss kind of thing. For one person, it will be lacking, while for the next person, it will be something they love. I see plenty of people rave about these, but at the same time, I see plenty of people who didn't think they were anything grand. These are something that may be worth trying at least once to see if it's something that will work well for you. With these, you won't have to worry about spending too much money if it's a dud.

While they weren't anything amazing for me to begin with and I didn't plan on using them again, now I can never use them again because I've gained a sensitivity to latex. I'll still say if you aren't allergic to latex it's worth a shot to try them at least once. Like I said before, you may love them.
