Aqua-Riffic!
Small guys triumph again here, sorry really long guys. While you guys might not be able to feel every little detail, the amazing lube will go and go and go for friction-free penetration.Published: August 13, 2010
Pros:
AquaLube is amazing, No latex smell, Durable
Cons:
Not for longer guys, Price
The claim: "Now thinner for sheer sensation! Improved, Kimono MicroThin condoms are thinner and feature a new straight sided shape to prove increased comfort and ease of donning. Kimono MicroThin with Aqua Lube condoms feature a special, water-based lubricant – Aqua Lube. Aqua Lube is pH balanced, long lasting, and provides that silky sensual feeling. "
After trying a few different condoms from Kimono, they are rapidly becoming one of our new favorites.
The specs: The average condom is 7.5" long, 2.04" wide at the base, and .0027" thick. The Kimono microthin is slightly shorter at 7.48" long, and while it's on par with width of the base and shaft, it comes in at .0019" thick.
If you find most average condoms to be too short or too tight, you should definitely skip this one.
The physicalities: The difference between these and the other microthins from Kimono is the lube that's used. I'm not entirely sure what the specific difference is other than with these, they use their AuqaLube, which does feel much different than any other water based lube I've ever come in contact with. It does an amazing job of mimicking my own natural fluids, producing some of the most comfortable sex I have ever had. It has a smell that I can't quite put my finger on, although it's certainly not unpleasant by any means. Either way, it doesn't smell like latex, and that's a good thing.
The safety stuff: Never use an oil based lube, the oil base can degrade the latex and increase the risk of breakage, and that's a bad thing. If for whatever reason you find yourself needing more lube with this, anything water or silicone based will suffice. Never reuse a condom, and always keep out of extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.

Experience
How the claim held up: Well, almost win/win. I loved how slick everything was, and I was able to easily forget that he was wearing a condom. It didn't hold up to being able to feel more because it's thinner, my fiance says that he didn't feel anything extra, but the sensations were a bit different because I was so well lubricated.
All in all, we still enjoyed these enough to recommend them to anybody else who'll fit in them.

We still enjoy these from time to time, and do still recommend them to those who would fit into them.

Kimono vs. Trojan
-
I see Kimono is higher priced than Trojan, are they that much better?
-
Kimono's were way tighter then the trojans, from what I remember. I have not used condoms in over 10 years.
