Back in the hey day of experimenting and trying to figure out my type (10 years ago), I remember nights of passion being dampered because of condom problems.  Fortunately, I found my type and became monogamous.
Now being in an open relationship and I'm going out on "dates",  I have been sticking with the same condoms I had the least bit of trouble with.  We have discussed which condoms feel good, but what about durability, strength?  I want to venture out and try new things that might be more comfortable to my dates than just the Trojans.  So let me know on your experiences with certain brands and types of condoms out there..the good the bad and let's see if I can't find something that feels as good as it works~

I perfer a Japanese brand called Crown. Their thin, and yet very durable. Most ladies I've met seem to perfer Roughrider.

Try the internet.  You can always find anything you need on the internet.  Just stay away from lamb skin condoms because they do not protect against STDs (pretty much a  worthless condom).

In my experience the site posted by FFFFmny is the most useful of any I've found, as it has the added info relating to length,  width, thickness, etc, which is important because there's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all.  However, the one important aspect which I think only test drives can determine is "stretchability."  Example...at first I was using Crown Skinless as they seemed best suited to me personally.  However, they seem to stretch almost not at all..& too tight a fit is a bad as one too loose.  Most recently I used (only once thus far) "Bareback" a non-spermicidal, lubricated, latex condom & they seemed to work well.  I can't recall offhand the maker, but it may have been Durex.

I don't personally like Trojans as I've found them to be lacking in sensitivity...but there are gals who don't want to use what the guy might bring---heard all the reasons for that in the past & won't argue with them...however, if what the lady has in her "arsenal" doesn't work well for the guy then the whole experience suffers & she may well not have a repeat client.

But sometimes I feel the search for the perfect condom is like chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow...it doesn't exist.

I have been ordering from here for years.
Great selection - always satisfied.
I'm partial to the Durex (orange flavored to for her pleasure).

The "Bareback" is made by Contempo.  It is one of my favorites along with the Trojan Supra (polyurethane).

I'm sure we'll all agree condoms "suck" (no pun intended!) Being "coffeecan" for a reason --I have found Trojan Magnum XL are still too snug for "the bigun" and came across "Reality", which is a female condom the woman inserts inside her vagina. There is a loose ring of the same material that resembles a cock ring inside the condom. It acts as an anchor holding the condom secure inside the vagina. I prefer to take the ring out and slip the female condom over "the big guy" like a regular condom. It works great, is safe & protects from STD's. More than that however, you're not "chokin the chicken" and feels almost like you're not using a condom at all! Some providers will not use Reality primarily because they are not familiar with the product. It's not widely known about and not readily available in all pharmacies. I recently have seen them an some of the major stores merchandised with female contraceptive products. Pick up a package & try them out. They are more expensive than reg. condoms. However, the sensation you feel when you're inside a woman makes the added expense well worth the extra $$$; to me anyway.

for those of us with average penis size, you can't do better than Kimono... tried 'em all and Kimono rules.. clever japanese have put tiny gripper dots on the inside so the condom stays put. Thin as a whisper but strong. Attractive deep blue package is tasteful. Take a 2 oz. bottle of ForPlay Lube de Luxe with you too. The premium water based lube. Lasts longer than anything else, washes off in a jiffy, and the stuff is slippery as heck. Its what they use in the adult video industry. For ultra sensual massage insist on Wet Classic silicone lube. Makes baby oil feel like a joke by comparison. The silkiest feely enhancer on the market.

My favorites are definitely the Durex Avanti and Trojan Supra polyurethane condoms.  They transmit heat best and feel like there's almost nothing between us.

Just my $.02

Kiss-o-mint is great for ladies giving CBJ.

Are the Trojan Supras available without spermicide?  Many ladies have indicated that they don't like spermicidal condoms.  Ahhh, the search continues.

They are a bit small for a lot of guys though.  I also use their larger version, Maxx.  I wish they would make Maxx in a micro-thin version.  I also keep Trojan Magnums handy, for the biguns.  I like to have Reality female condoms on hand too.  They come in handy for the guys that are "shy" around the regular condoms.  And some of you are too friggin' big even for the Magnums!

For lube, I've settled on Eros.  It's silicone based, versatile, never gets sticky, and a little goes a long way.

For the best prices, shop at rubbertree.org.  I do agree with another poster in this thread, that condoms.net offers the most detailed information on each different condom available.

just be careful with that whip sweetheart! LOL!

In your case, HEFTY garbage bag.

Kisses.
