Condom Review: Trojan Fire and Ice
When your standard condom just isn’t enough, and you’re looking for more sensation, then slip on a Trojan Fire and Ice Condom and go from hot to cold and back again.
2023 UPDATE: We no longer carry this product. Check out the rest of our Trojan condoms.
My experience with the Trojan Fire and Ice Condom is probably the equivalent of jumping from a freezing cold swimming pool to a boiling jacuzzi, naked, in the snow. I underestimated the power of the lubrication that is both inside (for his pleasure) and outside (for her pleasure) of the condom, and once my partner was fully inside of me I immediately became wide-eyed.
Most cooling lubricants contain small amounts of menthol, which helps to create that “icy” feeling, while warming lubricants contain the chemical glycerol, which is a thick sugar alcohol. Both of these chemicals are FDA approved, though some people may experience an allergic reaction similar to that of an allergic reaction to latex (i.e. itching, burning).
Personally, the feeling from the Fire & Ice condom was pleasant, and added a whole new tingly dimension to the experience, while my partner stated the sensation was dull, yet still noticeable. Despite this, my partner was not a fan of the aftereffects of the experience, as he complained, upon removing the condom, of a feeling that was like a “hazardous chemical had been poured on his dick.” (To note: after washing his penis with hot water to remove the lubrication, the feeling subsided.)
The Trojan Fire & Ice Condoms are slightly longer than your typical “large” condom, measuring in at 8.37” long and 2” wide at the base. These condoms are great for those who find their perfect condom size to be somewhere between L-XXL. Not to mention, the condom features a unique reservoir tip that adds extra room at the shaft and head of the condom.
Overall Rating: 3 Stars
Final Verdict:
Though the Trojan Fire and Ice Condoms add that extra oomph to any sexual experience, my partner’s reaction to the lubrication was just too unpleasant to ignore. He admitted that the size was perfect and super comfortable, but the lubrication was “over the top” and almost took away from the experience for him, instead of adding to it. I am glad I tried the Fire & Ice Condom, because it’s something I’d never experienced before, but I will definitely not be keeping these in my bedside table.
