Free condom samples

March 31, 2008 By: admin Category: Condom News, Uncategorized, free condoms 1 Comment →


Finding a great condom is best done through trial & error. But that can get expensive. Here, we offer sources to ease those test runs- Free Condom Offer Links. The internet has bred so much competition among condom manufacturers, thus leading to many suppliers offering free condom sample packs in the hope that you will come back for more.

Flavors, sizes, shapes- you might as well try them all, so here is a list of places in North America that we found to get free condoms.

This list will be growing and including more countries as we research, so please sign up to our RSS feed or by email (see top right) to keep up with any updates.

Trojan Official Website:
Here you can get a free sample of either their Trojan Enz, Trojan Her Pleasure or Trojan Magnum including free delivery. Click here to get the sample.

Trojan Natural Lamb
They are offering a free sample of their Natural Lamb completely latex free condom, again with free delivery. Click here to get the sample.

Beyond Seven
I had never heard of these before. Sadly, I can’t get them delivered in Canada. Thus, I will have to use a US address and try them when I return for a few weeks. They ask you to fill out a survey first, but it is a totally free sample of a condom in their range. Click here to go to their form.

Relax Condoms
I think these are only available in Canada as they are Licensed by Health Canada. Anyway, they will send you a completely free sample. Click here for more.

NYC Condom
Residents of NYC can get free male and female condoms and lubricants by visiting various establishments in the city or calling 311. Organizations can order on line here.

Condom USA
They offer a range of Durex and Japanese condom 10 packs for free, but you have to pay for delivery, unless you order other stuff with them. Delivery is typically around $5, which is still cheaper than buying a 10 pack from the pharmacy. Click here.

Often you can also get free condoms at Planned Parenthood. See their website for more details.

This list is by all means not a full comprehensive list and we will be looking at expanding it whenever we find a new way to get condoms for free.

Please let us know of any free condom programs, or if any of the links above no longer work.

Thanks for reading.

Lifestyles, Ultra Sensitive

March 26, 2008 By: Administrative Team Category: Condom Brand Reviews No Comments →

Lifestlyes, Ultra Sensitive

Lifestyles’ Ultra Sensitive latex condom is almost identical to Trojan’s Ultra Thin condom: They both contain a water-based lubricant; they both share the same shaft-width (2in); thickness is only microscopically different (Lifestyle Ultra Sensitive being thicker by .0004 in.); and their lengths are slightly off (Lifestyles is 7.5 inches long. Trojan Ultra Thin is 7.0in). Despite similarity, Ultra Sensitive felt smoother and was consistently easy to put on.  Its elasticity worked well.  I wouldn’t go so far as to say that these feel unapparent or weightless, but they are not a rubbery hindrance either. These condoms are nothing exceptional.  But if one is looking for sensitivity, I think these are a fair bet.

A Town Called Condom…

March 26, 2008 By: Condom Monologuer Category: Monologues 1 Comment →

Condom, FranceI can’t imagine it’s easy being a French town at the best of times, without having the daily struggle and ridicule of being known as ‘Condom’. All the other towns must point and laugh, and lets be fair, they have every reason to. I mean, naming a town ‘Condom’, it’s just not fair. Would you name your baby ‘Coil’? Or your new dog ‘The Pill’? Even as middle names, contraceptives rarely work. That said, ‘Sheath’ seems to be a fairly well accepted surname. Anyway, despite the word ‘condom’ not strictly being part of the French language, the people of this town have accepted it does have an English meaning. They have built their own museum detailing the history of the Rubber Johnny. They ensure each and every shop has a regular supply of everyone’s favourite rubber things and even some of the road dividers have been gifted a rather humorous shape! Good to see a town’s sense of humour breaking a very well established language barrier…

Trojan, Ultra Thin

Trojan Ultra ThinTrojan flags this condom as its “thinnest” one ever, with a thickness of .0020 inches. Looking at other reviews, many said that this condom breaks. I never experienced this. However, I did find this condom to be rough and dry, despite the water-based lube.  “Thinnest” does not denote sensitivity. It felt like a rubber dildo.  The ring was stiff, with little elasticity.  Ultra Thin was hard to roll onto my partner.  Each time we had to pause and fight with it to get the ring down to his base. Strange, considering that the condom is a standard 7inches in length with 2in width.

Condom size chart

March 22, 2008 By: admin Category: Condom News, Condom Size Chart 2 Comments →


Due to the fact that every penis is different, one single comprehensive condom size chart seems impossible. Yet when it comes to condoms, size (and shape) is everything- for effective protection, comfort and pleasure. This article aims to consolidate info about each leading U.S. brand’s size schemes, hoping to lessen the confusion over what fit is the true fit for men.

** Please note that this article will be updated whenever we get new sizes, brands or information. We will also include dental dams. So please subscribe to our RSS feed or enter your email in the box on the top right of this page. **

This is not a condom company endorsement! Simply due to the fact that the major brands in the U.S. are Durex, Trojan and Lifestyles, our first aim is to gather sizing information from these brands.

Penis size chart:

Identify your penis size according to the average rubric most condom companies follow. Here are two charts created from a Lifestyles 2001 study. Facts are sourced from Wikipedia’s article “Human penis size“.

The study found that the average penis length was 14.9 cm (5.9 in) and the average circumference being 12.6 cm (5.0 in)- see chart below. 401 college students volunteered to be measured during 2001 Spring Break in Cancún, Mexico, of which 300 gained an erection to be clinically measured (without pharmacological aid). The 300 effective measurements makes this study double the size of any prior study that uses medical staff to measure penis size.

Now onto the condom size chart for major U.S. brands:

Durex condom size chart

Durex was the only brand for which we found measurements for each individual product. Above each diagram are the condoms which apply. More information can be found at Durex.com.

Lifestlyes

We are researching further into the sizing of Lifestyles Condoms. They’re particular difficult chart, since most of their condoms are not shown with dimesions. You can check out our Condom Brand Reviews page, join the discussions and give us your ratings on Lifestyles and other brands.

From the limited information we have gathered, most Lifestyles Condoms are tailored towards the “average” penis size determined by their 2001 study discussed above: The average condom length at 7.0 inches; the average width at 2 inches. However,

LifeStyles® Snugger Fit has a tighter width.
LifeStyles® His & Her Pleasure has an oversized tip. Funny enough, this condom is larger than Lifestyles King Size XL.

LifeStyles Condoms, Natural Feeling

March 05, 2008 By: Administrative Team Category: Condom Brand Reviews No Comments →

Lifestyle Natural Feeling CondomsNatural feeling….well, whatever “natural” means. But this condom definitely is thin. As thin as physics may allow, Natural Feeling is perhaps one of the most sensitive condoms I’ve ever felt (it would be interesting to compare “Natural Feeling” to Lifestyles’ “Ultra Thin” brand). Yet, there isn’t much else unique about it. Transparent in color with a reservoir tip. The lubricant is sheer and smooth. The latex smell is there, yet not offensively stinky. However, I did find these condoms to fit a little short and tight on my partner than most other condoms. Despite size, I feel this condom is a simple, safe choice… and satisfying, “naturally”.
