You know those products where it starts out great and winds up bad for one reason or another? Well, this turned out to be one of those products.

My boyfriend and I grabbed these for a little change of pace from the ordinary smooth condoms. I figured the spiral ribbing would be different from other ribbed condoms we had tried in the past, possibly even better. The first few times we used them, they were great. I liked the feel of the ribbing, though I could not really feel a difference between the spiral here and other ribbed condoms. We did notice that the condoms would start slipping a little while we were having sex, so we had to keep an eye on that. It was kind of a mood killer to have to keep stopping to check on the condom. I thought it was strange as other Trojan condoms of the same size and even larger ones have had no trouble staying on during sex.

We had a huge mishap the third or fourth time we used Trojan Twisted. The condom had come off completely, and we were so caught up that neither one of us noticed. Thankfully, we realized what was going on before disaster hit, but it was still unnerving. It pretty much wrecked my sex drive for the night because I was so worried the next condom would slip off. I was shocked. I mean, we have always trusted Trojan condoms. They're one of the top brands after all.

Between the "nothing special" ribbing and the problem with them slipping off, we have not bothered to buy these condoms again. I usually love Trojan, but these turned out to be a real dud. Take it from me, you are better off buying a different kind of ribbed condom.
