Lifestyles warming pleasure 3 pack - male condom discontinued by Ansell - review by ~LaUr3n~

Thankfully the market is changing for guys who are larger than average in penis size. Typically, larger guys (especially XXL guys) have really only had plain Jane condoms to choose from, but that is changing. I'm not a huge fan of warming lubricants or condoms that are super noticeable, but I do feel a bit of warming can increase the feeling of intimacy when a condom is being worn. Lifestyles has consistently had good natural shapes for guys. This condom is no exception. While it isn't XL by many means, it is much better than the average condom and provides a bit of a unique experience.

In short, the Warming Pleasure condom is a bit larger than an average condom in length and slightly larger in width. It has a contoured natural shape and is slightly thinner as well. Beware of the lubricant though!

Compared to average condoms:

Average condoms have a thickness of 0.0027". The Warming Pleasure condom is the actually thinner at 0.0024". While this is not considered thin on the market (has to be less than .19 for that), it actually might be noticeable to guys who wear condoms a lot. Combined with the shape and lubricant it will feel more intimate.

The average condom is 7.5" long. The Warming Pleasure is a bit longer at 7.6" long. This difference will likely not be noticed at all. There is a large reservoir tip at the end that will allow for a good amount of semen. I don't recommend this condom for guys larger than 7" in length.

Average condom head width is 2.125". This condom's excellent shape allows for a head width of 2.25". Every little bit counts, and this extra room should be noticed by any guy. It increases critical friction and thus pleasure for the guy. Females may be able to feel the pronounced head better as well.

Average shaft and base width is 2". This condom is only a teeny bit wider at 2.05 and the difference isn't noticable. The base is not smaller than the shaft so if you are smaller than average take caution when pulling out so that the condom does not slip off.

The lubricant is water based but it contains glycerin which can cause irritations or infection in some women. These condoms don't smell as bad as Durex latex but it still is noticeable. The nice thing about this condom is that while warming lubricated condoms typically don't have a long shelf life, these seem to last longer than average. I recommend using them within 6months of purchase for the best results. The warming itself isn't super strong which is exactly how I like it. There is an adequate amount of lube to start with but more may need to be added for longer sessions.

The wrappers are plastic and easy to open. They are easy to rip when taking them off the chain of original condoms, so inspect them before using. This condom rolls on easily and I have never broke one. For more information about condoms and how to use them, visit this link.

The warming lubricant is a nice tough to add to the intimacy of sex. Condoms can decrease the warmth felt between partners and so this amount of warming helps to restore a bit of that without being too overwhelming or distracting.
They are not the best fit for my partner, but much better than the average condom and do provide extra room for friction. It might be nice to use these condoms on dildos to make them warmer as well. I am giving them 4 stars.

Of the many warming condoms I have tried, this is one of the best. I've found that it is either hit or miss with these. Lifestyles Warming Pleasure has the right amount of warming and a great shape. If you are looking for a warming condom, especially for the first time, I recommend this one.
