Hi guys

What are peoples opinions on the different condom brands? Is it a difference just in name or does the quality change as well?

Always been a durex guy myself but they're the most expensive

All constructive thoughts are welcome

I recently bought a pack of Skynz intense while waiting for an online order of condoms. I found them to be every bit as good as Durex, maybe even slightly better. I also like a Crown condoms, very thin but strong,,so don't de-sensitise as much as regular condoms.

I get mine free from the GUM clinic. About 20 Skyns latex-free every three months.

"I get mine free from the GUM clinic. About 20 Skyns latex-free every three months."

They give branded skyns out?

I've been buying them as I thought the clinic would give the cheaper ones out free!

The pasante ones are awful in my opinion.

I'd go with durex.

Skyns aren't the only latex free condoms, even durex do latex free.

I used some of the free ones that we had from the clinic, they were fucking AWFUL! The smell of them was disgusting! I will never use them again, they put me right off.

I get that horrible condom "burn" with durex so avoid them if possible. I'm not allergic to latex but I just find skyns much more comfortable and less likely to dry out...durex lube sucks as well...

I use They-Fit. As the name suggests they come in different sizes based on length an width. Much more comfortable.

I tend to use durex as they are more readily available than the others.

My clinic does, although you have to ask specifically for latex free.

I have had Skyns break on me, and because they are pretty much like not wearing anything (sensation wise) I didn't notice. Several ffriends have had Skyns fail too.

I go with Durex or Mates. Never had a failure.

I only use skyns and only had one breakage and one come off. And let's just say we use lots.

Condoms mostly fail because they don't fit right or the cock isnt hard enough.

If a guy wants to play with me he uses my condoms unless he has his own skyns

I recently had a skyns fall off while inside a girl then had the very romantic experience of having to bury my fingers in her to retrieve it

But then they might not fit right, and are more likely to break. Why would want him to wear yours, rather than his own that he knows fit him?

Unless he brings skyns I'd not be having sex. As I can't use latex condoms

And not being funny but most guys haven't a clue on what condoms fit them.... They will just grab the freebie ones at the clubs quite often x

Condoms often break because there isn't enough lubrication, therefore more friction...

Or come off because the guy loses it for a moment or it wasn't a correct fit in the first place. Or it wasn't put on right x

Mine are in date, stored and carried properly too...they're, as far as I know also not fake or counterfeit which cheap condoms bought on the Internet have been shown to be. I like to take responsibility for my own sexual health and trust my own processes, not someone elses I barely know.

There are other brands of latex-free condoms. I just don't trust Skyns after my own experience and those of some friends. The lady I was having sex with when my Skyns broke inside her was not short of natural lubrication. Unfortunately I ended up cumming inside her which wasn't the intention. Fortunately no harm came of it.

I know Durex and Mates work for me. As long as I'm hard they fit snugly but not uncomfortably. and should my hardness reduce during sex I can feel if one begins to slip and do something about it (ie stop).

Sorry but I'd rather stick with the ones I know and trust. I hate condoms anyway so for me the very appeal is that it feels like there is nothing there. Passante latex free are awful and its not just th latex free bit. It's aadded things on some. If I use other ones I find they don't feel as Good.

I do always have 4 different types of skyns and as I say only two failures. But then I can Nick condoms if I am not careful and that doesn't matter on The brand. But I have taught myself to squeeze less.

And if you feel your going soft... ( which should be pretty obvious to both parties ) regardless of make , it makes sense to hold the end Or stop and do something else for a little while

But skyns aren't the only latex free condoms, durex do latex free, so do Billy boy, pasante, protex, trojan, lucky bloke, unique pull, etc.

As you guys are a couple, do you supply both condoms? What if you met another couple just like yourself and they wanted to "take responsibility for their own sexual health", rather than trusting you?

My favourites are Crown Skinless too. Really thin (feels the best, imo), strong, and (importantly) has very very little taste (Durex make me gag with their taste).

Passante are awful, durex irritate me still due to something they put on them. Trojan same as durex. Can't even use the lubricated skyns ones. And I always give them mine. I wouldn't trust someone else's

Great experience though going in deep to fish it out. I remember that happening with an ex nearly 20 years ago!

I'm the same, plus if you want to switch back to oral they don't leave that horrible smell/ taste of rubber

As an update, I've been regularly using Skyns with a partner since March last year, as she has a latex allergy. No problems at all so perhaps the product has been improved.
