Condom Review: Lifestyles Ultra Thin
Do most condoms feel like you’re putting a sock over your wang? LifeStyles Ultra Thin was custom made for you.
The thinness of a condom doesn't really bother me one way or another. But I know that my partner loves thinner, more natural feeling condoms. Since we know that the thickness of a thin condom doesn't make it more likely to break, he was super excited to give the Lifestyles Ultra Thin a go. And once things got heated, I found that I also enjoyed this latex condom quite a bit.
Now, I have seen these described as having a flared head, but I don't think that's really the case. Unless the design has changed recently, the condom I used didn't have as significant a flared head as, say. In fact, the head shape was pretty dang close to the rest of the condom in terms of width. Not that that makes it a worse condom, but if you're accustomed to condoms with larger heads (especially if you aren't circumcised), you may want to pick something different.
Also, the Ultra Thin sits at 8" by 2". So it may not be quite wide enough for those of you who like wider condoms, but it's a good option for dudes who are long and more on the narrow side.
Also, I do have a big gripe about the lube on this condom. Since it’s fairly standard variant of the LifeStyles brand, it has their standard water-based lube. Which really doesn’t cut it. This lube had worn off before I even got it on my partner. We chose to add some WET Platinum , a silicone-based lube which really did the trick. It helped bring out the natural awesomeness of this condom, while adding to the level of safety and comfort. Remember, more lube is always a great way to ensure your condom won’t break.
My only other gripe about this condom is that it has a slight latex stink to it. I wouldn’t find it ideal for use for oral sex, but that’s my personal opinion. Adding some of my favorite flavored lube, WET Delights Black Cherry Flavored Lubricant, didn't really help with that. But then again, you know I'm very picky about these things.
Final Verdict:
The LifeStyles Ultra Thin condom isn't our normal fair, but my partner and I loved the thinness of it. Extra lube, however, is a MUST.
