The choice here in the UK is Durex or Mates.

Both seem OK. As to what ones my GF prefers..:

She hates spermicidally lubed ones.
She doesn't mind any other, but tends to dislike the ones with 'extra goo' as she puts it..

*shrug*


Edit: Useless fact - in over 3 years I've never had a condom break...

I have been buying from them for a long time. They are the cheapest and best place I have ever ordered from. Free shipping too.

and plus its harder for her to keep count of a big mess of condoms just in case u happen to hit up some other chick.


I use these also... They are made by Okamoto, which is the largest condom company in Japan... American brands tend to "sting" for me, never had any issue with the Japanese brands...

I use Lifestyles with Spercidal Lubricant (yep, every little bit helps). I've never used Trojans before...I think. I really forgot.

Durex super thin condoms are OK.. They are a little tight, but they do a good job in giving you some sort of feeling when the condom is on..

I like the spermicide for that little extra protection. It irritates my skin a bit, but I just wash my wang off with soap after using them and I'm good.

uh... spermicide BAD!

I prefer lubed durex myself, and some girls really notice the difference from one style to another; thin is definitely better.

Why is it bad? Is that just your opinion or did you read something?
The irritation you experience reduces the effectiveness against stds.

For birth control, mixing two methods (usually pill + condom) is much more effective than adding a spermicide.

Now that's some smart thinking there.

I would agree that Japanese condoms are thinner and feel better, but the ring at the bottom (especially with Kimonos) feels WAAYYYY too tight! The last couple times I've used them it felt like a I had a rubber band on down there strangling my junk, and even after I took it off I had a err, sensation around 'him' for the rest of the day.


But my girl is on the pill, so screw that silly trash bag action. Manly donations awaaaaaay!

Which do you or your girl prefer?

I like Lifestyles (made in Thailand) over Trojan (made in USA). For some reason, Trojans seem thicker/bigger.

I'm not a girl...sorry, can't help you.

The best condoms are Japanese BTW. They are much smaller than US condoms. Check out condomania.com for different ones.

Fixed! :laugh:

I use "Beyond Seven."

They're designed for, ahem, larger man. I really don't need the extra size, myself (normal size condoms work just fine), but they're paper thin and I've never had one break on me. Highly reccommended. I'm a serial monogamist, and as such really hate the feel of condoms. Too many years not needing them. So when I have to regress (like my current singlehood) I like the condom to be as transparent as possible. These fit the bill.
