Hello all -

Quick question about condoms. Curious what condom brand people prefer. Wife and I have never really spent anytime on using them, but as we start playing more need to find the best options. We used a couple the other day and were not very happy with the results. Found them very tight and deadened the feeling for him, while sucking all the moisture out of her. Figured we would come here and see if anyone had any ideas.

We are thinking about the top 3 noted in this review: http://www.condomdepot.com/reviews/best-condoms.cfm

Anyone have experience with those 3? Not sure if you need it, but husband has an 8" penis that is also 8" around. He is uncircumcised. Being very thick we were curious if some might be better than others?

Thanks in advance for any help

I've not even heard of #1 and #3, but I don't care much for anything coming from durex. They break on me every single time I've used 'em.

I prefer Trojan Ecstacy for both regular and magnums.
I'm wanting to try the new BareSkins but I think they make them in regular only right now.
He has roughly the same measurements as my hubby (except he is circumcised). We hate condoms generally speaking for the same reasons you said... the only kind we use now are Magnums. We almost always use lube with rubbers so they dont suck all the wet out of her. He always puts some lube in the tip of the condom (on the inside before he puts it on) to make it so it doesnt quite as deaden the feeling, but they all basically suck.

Never heard of that list before and I wouldnt even know where to get 'em. Basically all grocery stores sell now is the top brands. We hate the Durex, they seem like a teenager thing haha

Thats our two cents from the she side anyway.
We've used the Crown Skinless Skin and they made all the difference in the world. They live up to the hype of feeling like they're not even on but they're pretty snug. Almost too snug.
We are going to buy some of those Crown Skinless Skin ones. They sound great!
Hubby is also extra wide and long and we found that Trojan, (Magnum XL extra Large Condom lubricated. This works best we also started with not knowing and found the right ones and we never had the problem again with cutting the blood flow either. They work like a charm!!!

Personally I find that Trojans are the thickest and most nerve deadening of the brands I have tried. But with a size like that you may be held to the magnums. As for the drying out good lube works great.
The crowns are good but for us bigger guys the Magnums or the XL's work best.
well we prefer LifeStyles if you want you can check out the full selection at www.lifestyles.com
I Have found only the Magnum XL's to work for the large sized man. It's all I use :)
Crown are very thin and feel as close to not wearing one compared to the others we have tried. They fit a little snug though..
Why waste good money? We just buy a box of rubber gloves from Costco. Each time we have sex, we just use a different finger in the glove. It works great too when you are going for multiple penetrations at the same time.

Where can you buy Crowns in Utah? Or are they mail order only?


Mail order is the only way that we have been able to buy them.
All this talk of breaking condoms, and condoms being too tight, condoms being too small, blah ba blah, is making me feel so depressed.

I've got a friend of my husband who has a sister-in-laws buddy, who has a neighbor that knows this certain guy who's built quite small. So does anyone know where you can get good condoms for fitting midgets?

We have started using Sagami L. These are non latex and silicone lubed. The feeling is great as these are very thin. Best pricing I have found is Amazon. Buy a few and try them.
I don't know if anyone else has this problem, being shaped like a parking cone (skinny up top thick at the bottom) regular rubbers role back up on me and, I cum buckets so they pop. I have been using magnums for years, they don't strangle my cock and can take the lode. Problem is it like having a plastic back on and if feels a bit strange. (needles to say) Anyone have any tips for putting a rubber on a parking cone?
Hi everyone -

Thanks for the great feedback. Based on what everyone has said we went and picked up the Magnum Ecstacy, Magnum Thins and Trojan Sensitivity Ultra Thins. We couldn't find the Crown Skinless or Beyond 7 condoms in Utah, so will have to order those from the net and try them out when they arrive. If nothing else a reason to have more sex :)

Thanks again for all the great feedback.

We will post our experiences once we start getting into them so that others might benefit from all this hard work being done. Pun intended :)
Update: Tried the Magnum Thins the other night and they were actually pretty good. Not too tight and there was still a good amount of sensation.

Trying the other two in and next day or two.
Bahahaha. Way to save some green!

Trojan ecstacy all the way.
Magnum XLs are our number one pick. We have the Crowns and though they allow more feeling for him, we find that they don't stay lubed as long. The Magnums stretch well and don't feel overly tight.
Screw all you people and your Magnum XL's and all that "too tight" crap. "Oh his dick's too big for anything you common folk wear." Whatever. No, I'm not jealous, I prefer 'em small and petite to save the environment. Less chance of the condom getting in the landfill and getting caught over a ducks head or something. Yeah that's right, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it. No hard feelings here, GRUMBLE, grumble, Grumble, grumble.

Oops, I forgot to stay serious in the forums again. My bad.
