The Trojan Ultra Ribbed condom has a hearty dose of all-you-can-eat ribs, with 20 ribs along the shaft which end right before the reservoir tip.

This naturally colored, thin latex condom is 8.12” (206.24mm) in length with a 4” (101.6mm) base circumference. Size-wise it compares to other ribbed condoms. For the record, this NOT a magnum and is considered a "standard size". 

Since everyone’s orifices have different levels of sensitivity, not all people are crazy about ribbed condoms. Personally, I much prefer textured condoms that are either studded, like the Wink Studded condoms, or those which are both ribbed and studded, like the brand new Durex Prolong.

Nobody likes a broken rib.

The 20 raised ribs on this pre-lubricated condom seemed to act as lubricant mini-squeegees, pulling the plentiful natural lubrication out of my vaginal canal with each exit-motion. This was an unusual occurrence, and was not acceptable for my pleasure or for the safety of the condom (which requires lubrication to prevent breakage from friction).

Granted, after a few breakage incidents in the past and my frightening findings about their Fire & Ice condoms, I may be a bit more paranoid than the average Jane about the safety and durability Trojan brand condoms. So, after discovering this drying effect of the ribs on the out-stroke, I used enough lube to sink a ship-- and all ended well, condom intact.

As with all Trojans I’ve used, the Ultra Ribs aren’t easy on the nose, as they smell exactly like a pungent rubber glove-- which I happen to associate with white coat fever. Regarding taste, it was fairly neutral and slightly powdery-- which again, is a calling card of typical Trojans.

Final Verdict:

The Trojan Ultra Ribbed condom is a good choice for guys with an average girth who have a partner that loves getting really lubed up and reamed with ribbed latex.
