I was excited to try these condoms because I thought it would be fun to use them in the dark. Each condom is in a package that has a clear side and a dark side, which allows you to hold them to a light source while they are still in the package. I held the pack of condoms up to the light for a minute right when I got them, and then shut the lights off. I was very impressed with how much they glowed, and thought they would surely be a lot of fun when I used them with my boyfriend. Unfortunately, I ended up being quite disappointed with them.

The instructions said that you could hold the condom up to the light while it was still in the wrapper, but that it would glow more if you exposed it to a light source after you had put on. I held it to the light for over 30 seconds (the recommended time) and then kept the light on for about 30 seconds after my boyfriend had put it on. When we turned the lights off, there was a very dim glow, so we turned the lights back on and held it directly in front of the light for a bit. It was still quite dim, but at this point both of us were tired of waiting and used it the way it was.

As far as the quality of the condom goes, I would say it was good. None of the ones we used broke, and they were not uncomfortable or strange smelling. Overall a decent condom, but not worth the price markup for the novelty aspect. I later tried holding the condom to a light source and it does glow if held long enough. I would say however, that the 30 seconds recommended on the package are not sufficient.
