    Just wondering if anyone could recommend any new condoms, Ive been using Durex Extra Safe when I do (my girlfriends on the pill), and we'd just like to try out some new things. What does anyone think?

    Heard anything bout Secura Dark Desire?

    A condom is a condom really.

    Ive tried every condom boots has to sell, mates/ all durex, stay away from the boots brand anyway.

    Durex featherlite..never really use condoms but if we have to that's what we use! Bf really likes them so that gets my recommendation!

    Would your G/F not get the new patch out you put it on
    change it every week for 3 weeks a month. 100% I think.

    Me personally I hate the smell of burning rubber so I dont use them :D

    never heard of that... explain or link?

    Featherlite are quite good as are some of the Mates brands, can actually feel something unlike a lot of the others!!

    Stick with Extra safe. If you've been having great sex theres no point in changing - es[ecially if you find they do what condoms are made to do.
    If your at a point where you feel the only improvement you can make to your sex life is to change the condom then you're in trouble.
    Seriously if its not broke, dont fix it

    I can only imagine you are basing this opinion on what a partner has told you? I get great sensitivity through extra safe but maybe i'm just lucky that i'm very sensitive?
    I have heard from men that are circumsized that condoms leave them feeling nothing as the tip of the penis isnt as sensitive as an uncircumsized penis.

    Durex Pleasuremax TBH - they have a nice fit and texture.

    Featherlite are pretty good too.

    The extrasafe ones are horrible.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,942 ✭✭✭missingtime


    Ususally use Mates Ultimate Pleasure.Four different types of condoms.
    Sheer,Intense,Warming,Xtra - to be honest the difference isn't that big. But its all a laugh in the end.
    They might have some placebo factor thought. Placebo condoms hmmmm?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    Get a vibrating ring for the condom, I recommend them. Great for both involved, you wont regret it :)

    You're lucky. I find the things painful tbh. OP I'd advise you to try a few different ones. It can take time to find a brand you like. It's worth doing though imho. At the very least you may find brands that you find painful/uncomfortable and know never to touch them again. Don't underestimate this! There is nothing worse to the only condoms to hand being ones that are very uncomfortable or painful!

    Thats very loaded considering the subject.

    Try Durex Avanti, in my experience they are great (although, I have seem to remember a thread here ages ago where someone claimed there was an issue with them breaking- it's one of the few that didn't actually break on me).

    They are also sloightly larger than most others so they won't be real tight adn uncomfortable.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,380 ✭✭✭daRobot


    ^ Agreed. Avantis are great condoms.

    Trojan supras are even better.They're american though, so ebay is your best bet for them.

    Trial and error. Ive had featherlite break on me a couple of times. I like mates extra pleasure. Im on the patch, its great, highly recommended. Pritty sure its not 100% though.

    I dunno but I wouldn't try them either!

    Condoms are definitely something that you don't want to skimp on for obvious reasons. Then again, maybe they're just as good as the brand names, but im not going to put it to the test.

    Well aldi/lodl do not have the 'kite' mark on them which is the british standard for condoms and proves they have been rigurously tested.
    I have looked at the packets and they do have a german saftey standard but I have no idea if it is 'kite' mark equalivant.
