Trojan stimulations twisted - male condom discontinued by Church and Dwight - review by Jordan B

Use

Trojan is mainly a condom manufacturer with over 30 different kinds of condoms. They also manufacture different types of vibrators, bullets and one time use vibrating cock rings.

The Twisted is a condom that is worn by the male during intercourse or solo play. When used accordingly, condoms help prevent pregnancy and are the only form of protection that will prevent the spreading of HIV/AIDS and other STIs. They're not guaranteed 100% effective at doing so but are far better than nothing. This doesn't mean being safe has to ruin the fun. These condoms can give you that extra twist you were looking for in the bedroom.

To get the most protection, make sure to use a new condom for every sexual act and NEVER reuse it. These condoms are not only for vaginal use, they can hold their own during anal sex. You can also wear these during masturbation, saving you the clean up afterwards.

Directions

When putting the Twisted condom on, it is just like using a regular condom. You tear one side of the package, then you take the condom out and pinch the reservoir tip. Next, you just pull the condom down the shaft as you would with any other type of condom. You are then ready to play!


Design/Size/Fit

The Trojan Twisted starts with the reservoir at the tip, and then there's a slight pocket-like section that has several spiraled double ribs on it. This section makes up roughly the upper third portion of the condom. It then tapers down for a consistently snug fit all the way down the bottom of the condom. The spirals are designed to stimulate the head of the penis as well as the G-spot with a twisting motion during sex. With each inward thrust, the spirals spin around and tighten the fit. Conversely, each outward pull loosens the condoms twisted grip.

The Twisted condoms are already lubricated with Trojan's premium lubricant for comfort and ease. Each condom is made with a high quality latex. It is subjected to 3 different tests; electronically, water leak and air burst. All these tests to make sure that none of your little soldiers make it out into the battle field. Trojan condoms are very strong. I have never had one break during use.

The little reservoir at the tip of the condom not only functions to catch the ejaculate from the male, but also creates room so the force of ejaculation doesn't break the condom. The latex is not especially thick, nor is it any thinner than any other Trojan condom style. Even with one of these on you are still able to feel every bump and fold of your partner's insides. An average size penis will fit snugly, while smaller men may find these a bit loose. If you are a Magnum man then these condoms might be too tight and be uncomfortable.

Care and Maintenance

You should store your condoms in a cool, dry place, preferably below 30 degrees Celsius, and away from direct light. Never keep condoms in your wallet or pants pocket. I have mine stored in a condom cube but they do not fit very well. They stick out the top of the cube making it hard to close the lid properly. The individually packaged condoms have a lime green side making it easy to select it when searching through a stash. The other side shows the expiration date, an "If used properly" section and a "Before Use" section.

Oil-based lubricants will weaken the latex, rendering the condoms less effective. As such, water-based or silicone lubricants are safe to use in conjunction with these condoms. Keep them away from talcum containing products, such as baby powder, for the same reasons. Be sure to check for material compatibilities before using the condoms with other products.

Don't use the condom if it feels sticky, if the color is off or if it evident that the condom has been tampered with.

Though the lubricant on them may stain fabrics or other, we haven't had any such issues. These condoms do not have a strong smell. It just has a faint latex smell. The lubricant on the condom does not leave any kind of residue and is very easy to wash off with a little soap and water.

Packaging

The Trojan Twisted condoms come in a yellowish-orange laminated box that measures 5 3/8" X 3 1/8" X 1 1/4". It contains 12 condoms. Each is individually wrapped with a square shaped foil that measures 2 3/8" X 2 1/2" and is roughly 1/8" thick. They won't be a burden to travel with.

Packaging continued...

I purchased this box at a pharmacy in Canada, so it is slightly different than the ones available in the US. On the front of the box it reads "Canada's #1 Condom" Triple Tested rather than "America's #1 Condom Trusted for Over 90 Years" Triple Tested. The description is not the same either. My box reads "Trojan Stimulations Twisted Pleasure", while the US box reads "Trojan Stimulations Twisted deep pleasurable spiral ribs".

The box must be pulled apart in order to read the inside. Here is where you will find some basic information about condoms and their uses, directions for use and a few warnings against allergies and the like. It also cautions against using oil-based lubricants with them.

Experience

This is by far my favorite condom as of yet. I love how I can feel the twisting motion during sex. The feeling is not very obvious but you can still sense it. I am average size and the condoms fit me very well, it is not loose but it is good and snug.

For my partner, she can not feel the twisting motion inside of her, but at times she feels like the pocket part of the condom kind of stays back when pulling out. So for smaller size guys the pocket area might be a bit too big and have too much give to it. She is sensitive to lubricated condoms, so this one irritated her a little in the beginning but after a while it was OK. We are still trying to figure out that aspect of her body but the search is still on.

My partner is on birth control but is not really good with taking her pill at the right times so we use condoms for an extra safety measure. Why not make it fun and try different types of condoms that give you a little more twist in the bedroom.

Even though the condoms come lubricated, a couple of times we had to add lube in mid session. I haven't personally tried these condoms anally but we are working our way to it.
