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.
