Condoms...what's your top pick & least fav?

i found the kimono's at a local sex shop and while my boyfriend liked that it felt like he was hardly wearing anything at all, they were a bit too snug for his tastes which killed a lot of the mood so I went back to our trusty and wicked awesome Lifestyles Ulta Thins. These are great, haven't had any issues with them at all.

there are kimono micro thin large size now....I read one guy who reviewed said that they weren't actually THAT large, maybe better for more of an average size than the regular microthins though. Perhaps you could try those, and they wouldn't be too snug, veronica. I think they just recently came out.

My partner and I almost always use Trojans. He uses the "Magnum" variety (I don't know why but something about that always makes me laugh. Maybe it's the overstated "manliness" of it all). Durex makes an extra-large but it's not as comfortable a fit as the Trojans. We've used them once on vacation when that was the only brand the store carried. The magnums come in different varieties too, so its an added bonus. I like "warm sensations" myself.

my guy's definitely an average man, I wonder why kimonos run so small in size?

the brand I love the most are called Maxx. they come in black wrappers with silver dots on them. it's all personal preference but i find them to be the most comforable i've ever worn. The larger sizes have always felt better because it's not cutting off the circulation ya know?

I generally use Trojan-Enz condoms, from the light blue box. I guess I've pretty much always used them. The reservoir tip is nice and they're lubricated without Nonoxynol 9.

I tried their "extended pleasure" condoms that use benzocane or some other sensation deadening lubricant on them and they worked for me. My only advice, though, is to wipe off the outside of the condom before entry so you don't end up using the lube to numb your girl. That makes for a bad experience...

I also tried Magnums. *laughs* I guess I wanted to see if they'd fit. They did...well, actually. They were very comfortable. The only problem is, I had to pull out very shortly after orgasm to make sure they didn't fall off when the post coital "shrinkage" started.

The aforementioned Trojan-Enz condoms never posed such a problem because they run tight on me before, during and after orgasm. I guess that's why I switched back after "the great experiment."

My two (or three) cents...

Well, my boyfriend and I just tried the Kimono Micro thins...

We couldn't even get them on him really. He's average length, and I think he might be a bit more than average girth.....we could not roll them down. We double and triple checked we were trying to roll it the right way but it was tough. He finally took the time to do it on his own when I had to scoot of to the bathroom....but still it took him a good five or ten minutes to get it on. And even then it was so tight it was like cutting off his circulation {his penis was turning purple!], which didn't make for a good experience. As you know when your circulation is cut off you kinda go numb in that region /

I think we will try the large kind and I hope that works, because I'd really like to get a super thin condom for him.

i'm always so wary of them tearing so have stuck with durex extra safe...they're extra lubed and app. a little thicker but not noticable. however my boyf and i really like the feeling of without but obvioulsy pregnancy isn't wanted yet and im not on the pill so cndoms are required.
i'd love to try some ultra thin's...but im nervous that they're more likely to break or rip because they're thinner...
does anyone know if this is the case??

I don't believe that's true Groban. Condom companies put ALL their condoms, thin and thick through a rigorous testing process to make sure that they won't break.

The important thing is finding a kind/brand that fits your b/f properly so that it doesn't slip off during intercourse or give him discomfort.

It's safe to try the thin ones, they're just as durable as the thicker ones.

From a female perspective, I've always found that the Trojan "Her pleasure" (I think that's what they're called - purple box) give me the the most pleasure
