Love ‘em! This must be one of my favorite condoms. Never breaks. Never slips. And funny enough, according to the Durex website, these are the same size as Durex’s XXL! Oh the strange world of marketing. Which reminds me, Durex also felt the need to give a little gift in each of Love packaging, like [...]

The power of condoms, especially when invisible!
There has been discussions by critics, such as women’s rights groups and HIV/AIDs activists, that this invention has the potential to provide more agency to women who may have little access to, or are forbidden to use condoms. Known as the “invisible condom”, this new technology works as a gel in the form of liquid, which is introduced into the vagina. It’s transparent, [...]
Spray-On Condom
A new solution for the infamous condom-shape-and-size question: The Spay On Condom. Image from Inventorspot.com The Spray On Condom was inspired by spray-on plaster technology used in medicine. This is how it works: The penis is inserted into a cylinder chamber. Then one pushes a button and a pump squirts liquid latex from all sides onto the penis in about [...]
ONE Condoms, Super Sensitive
Okay, I admit it. I was lured by its original tin casing and flashy print designs. Each new (circular not square) wrapper is crafted and submitted into a contest and then voted by consumers. Imagine primary school art teachers incorporating this competition into their curriculum! I also liked the fact that this condom company donates 5% of its sales [...]
Upgrading Condom Monologues
Hi World and Condom Monologuers alike! Since the launch of Condom Monologues in late Febuary, 2008, we’ve developed many ideas for what topics and issues could be shared here. Initially, and most importantly, Condom Monologues was created to converge our experiences and knowledges of condom sex. As of now, our Condom Reviews and Stories have slowly grown and [...]
Naomi Wolf’s Condom Story
Here is an excerpt from Naomi Wolf’s book Promiscuities (1997), that describes her first experience with contraceptives – her trip to the clinic and then her first time doing the “deed”. It could be argued that she tends to portray the condom as a male responsibility; and also as a very unsexy aspect of sex. [...]
Proper Attire Condoms, Dots
Not long ago I wrote a review of this new condom line, commenting on its unique, yet limited accessibilty. Then I met a woman who worked at Planned Parenthood. She carried with her a sheer sachet containing all four Proper Attire ware: “Dots”, “Color”, “Basic” and “XL”. She kindly handed me the yellow polka dotted pack, Proper Attire’s studded version. This [...]
Lifestyles, 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). [...]
Trojan, Ultra Thin
Trojan 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 [...]
LifeStyles Condoms, Natural Feeling
Natural 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 [...]
