Ultra Ribbed Trojan Brand Condoms



Well, it's the middle of the week, and I feel like writing a blog. Rather than doing a product review on a toy or anything hard core like that, I thought I would do a general product review for those of you who are looking to have some safe sex. Yes, that's right. Today I bring you a product made by the lovely people at Trojan. For those who don't know, Trojan is a brand of condoms commonly sold in the US of A. They are also the only brand of condom I will use, because they are clinically tested and all that legal mumbo jumbo and I just trust them.

Actually, Trojan Man is my hero. But that is another story altogether.

Remember folks, it is always important to use a condom during sexual intercourse unless you have better alternatives. (Like the pill/patch/shot/ring PLUS you and your partner are exclusively seeing each other and have been together for an extended amount of time.) This blog fully supports the use of condoms and other forms of personal protection during sex and highly advises that you do not participate in sexual activities unless you have gone the extra mile to make sure you and your partner are safe. Live your life by the three rules of sex: Safe, Sane, and Consensual.

The exact condom being reviewed today is the Ultra-Ribbed variety made by Trojan. Also commonly known as the "ones in the yellow wrapper". (Even though in the photos on the net they look orange...)

All and all I give these babies a 6/10. They get the job done when it comes to pregnancy/STD prevention in the sense that if used properly they don't break or slip off, which is always important. And they have a lovely ribbed texture which can help add to your lady-friends needs. (Hence the ultra ribbed in the title, I suppose.) But, I find when using these condoms for actual sex another variety would be better used. The male partners I have used these with in the past have complained that they don't allow much feeling on their end. However! These condoms are GREAT on toys such as vibrators and dildos to help simulate a 'real sex feel' versus the nasty snag and drag that rubber toys might give. (Actually, these are always the type of condom I have used when making my own dildos.)

I still keep these suckers in my decorative condom bowl and would suggest these to those who are looking to have some steamy hot protected sex, but I would more so suggest them to women who would like a more 'realistic feeling' solo experience.

Like most condoms, these babies can be found at your local convince or drug store in the health section or near the pharmacy. They are nice and affordable as you can get a 3 pack for a little over $3 or a more economical 12 pack for a little over $8. Or you can find them online at various websites like amazon.com.

Mr. Dependable



Well, minor setback folks. Until I can find a free image hosting site that allows photos of adult toys I'm going to have to use photos taken from the websites that sell my reviewed items rather than photos I have taken myself. It turns out photbucket considers photos of a 6" dildo pornographic and deleted the pictures that I origonally uploaded to my last entry. Never the less, I will overlook this technical difficulty and get back to our regularly scheualed review. (Even though it's a few days late.)

Today's review comes from the same people who brought you the "Petal Pleaser" of my first review. That's right, the lovely ladies and gents at pureromance.com. This jellatin beughty is called "Mr. Dependable." Little did I know that Mr. Dependable's first name was Un. (Get it? It's a joke. undependable? What? Not funny? Well phfpt to you too then.)

It runs for $19.00 USD and apparently comes in multiple colors. The one listed on the website is purple, but the one in my posession is infact pink with little bits of glitter sprinkled inside. It is a jelly/rubber dildo with a suction cup base which is probably the only good quality this item has. This was the very first dildo I had ever had come into my posession at the ripe young age of 18. With an "average" girth and at least 6" of insertable rubber this item didn't ring any bells.

I found that the rubber that the item was made of was far too slide-resistant to use on it's own. Even with giant gobs of lubricant I still felt as if it where snagging my skin and at one time it even made me bleed. So I later opted to use it with a condom. Call me picky, but it still didn't do much for me. Something about the shape of the toy just didn't hit any of the right spots. I don't know what could possibly be wrong with it besides the rubber, because it has the same insertable length as some of my other toys and even has 'realistic vien' accents, but something about it just doesn't hit home.

It's an attractive decoration and I still keep it in my collection (mostly becase it would be considered insanitary for me to give it to somebody else and I feel it would be a waste to throw it away) never the less. In fact, I (or rather my boyfriend) have found a wonderful second use for this pink see-threw wonder. The dildo tamahawk! Yes by simply grabbing it by the shaft and swinging the poorly textured testicals around you can fend off any enemy that comes your way! I've actually had to hide it from him a few times when I caught him playfully bopping his dog on the nose with it. But after a while, and a few set rules on what he was allowed to hit with it, I gave it back to him and let him resume his amused splender as he ran around the house yoldaling like a sterotypical Native American. (Which for some reason I don't take offense to, even though I am of Native American decent.)

In the end, Mr. Dependable didn't live up to his name. Who knows, perhaps others out there might thrive with this product where I have failed, but it definately wasn't anything to write to your girlfriend about.

Petal Pleaser



The first product I bring to you comes from the lovely and tame Pureromance.com. For those of you who are not familiar with the organization, it is a group that is better known for it's sex/fun parties that women can often have by having a representative/sales woman showcase a selection of their products mixed in with witty comments and strange games. It's a group that is pretty much souly marketed towards tamer women who better fit the role of a house wife and need that little extra something in their life when their husband isn't paying full attention to them. Not hard core, just nice and vanilla tame.

The product itself is called the Petal Pleaser and runs at an expensive (for the item) $19.50 USD. A small vibrating bullet with a rubber sheath that makes it look similar to a budding pink lily. Which could be appropriate, seeing as the only thing that could truly feel this things vibrations would be a girl as delicate as a flower. This product is very pleasing on the eyes and would probably be best suited for anyone who is intimidated by larger, more phallic looking sex items. I would suggest this kind of item as something for a 13 year old girl who is just starting to hit puberty and is a little curious about how her things down below work. For anything other than that though, I wouldn't suggest anything other than being a nice shelf ornament.

This product is absolutely disappointing when it comes to actual performance. The bullet itself is very weak and barely vibrates at all. Even with the rubber slip taken off it's pulsations are so weak it would only work for those with an overly sensitive clitoris that cannot stand the full blast of a real vibrator. The item is also rather thin and tiny, making it difficult to actually feel if you insert it inside yourself. In comparison I would say it is a little bit shorter than a stick of chap stick. The little nubs on the end of the rubber do not do anything to help enhance the feeling of it, as the object is too small to get any enjoyment out of.

Not to mention the rubber breaks very easily. By simply lightly tugging on the petals the entire sheath ripped at the base. With little extra effort, all the petals where off and I had a pleasant little flower petal shaped cock ring. Which in it's own respect, would be useful for any guy who has a girlfriend who is a little intimidated by the image of a hard penis. I mean common, who could be intimidated by something with pink rubber petals at the base of it?

All and all I give this toy a 2 out of 10. It's vibrations are pitiful. It's extremely tiny. The rubber doesn't have any give to it at all. It is merely good for looking at. PERHAPS it could be used as some kind of anal toy if you replaced the bullet with a more powerful one, but as I've stated in the past I don't experiment with those sort of things.

It's decided!

Alright, so I've decided what it is I'm going to be using this blog for. One of my esteemed friends suggested I write a blog about protesting, but I may just make a side-blog for that seeing as it would only be updated once a month. No, this one is going to be used for something I greatly enjoy. Something that, with the aid of my boyfriend who is now equally fond of the subject as I am, I can enthusiastically keep updated with new products. Who knows, maybe one day my product reviews shall become well known and people will curiously wonder what a real person thought of a product.

What products am I reviewing, you ask? Sex toys and sexual aids. That's right, I will be reviewing everything from vibrators, to masturbatory aids, to lubricants and even condom types. Hell, I'll even go as far as to review positions and sexual techniques! I will review everything under the sun! And for those items that I am not physically equip to review (thus as ones that would require me to have a penis) I will be seeking the aid of my dear boyfriend whom is more than happy to lend his piece for the cause. The only thing I will not review, however, are items that are required to go into my or my significant other's behind. I do not believe in anal stimulation and have sworn to never let something enter that hole in my body again.

So without further delay everyone, please look forward to my sex product reviews!
