Durex pleasure pack - male condom by Durex - review by RWN

After receiving the Pleasure Pack condom kit, I quickly opened it and examined the contents. I haven't had too much experience with condoms as I've only been playing with toys and had no intention of sharing.

I read over all the contents inside and became rather curious when I found out one would be scented and flavored. My excitement, however, was quickly destroyed when I learned that the flavor was banana, and as bananas make me nauseous, I was not particularly interested in trying it. That one was not going to be explored as I knew there was no way I could enjoy something with that smell and flavor.

I decided to start with the Intense Sensation. I had only experienced one kind of condom before, and it had been uncomfortable to the point of hurting when I had it over one of my toys.

When I first removed it from the packaging, I couldn't really see anything special about it. It looked quite smooth. First, I tried it over my hand. I could see there were tiny circular raised areas that I guessed must have been for the intense sensation. It was quite flexible without being to constraining yet still held well to the toys I tried it on.

So I put it on my Anal Starter, put a generous amount of my favorite lubricant on it, and tried it out. I am sad to say, it did not go in very smoothly; in fact, it was fighting to stay out it almost seemed. I, however, am not one to give up easily just because something doesn't work the first way I tried it.

I slipped the condom off that toy and put it on my second favorite toy. It stretched quite nicely over the bumpy lengths. This time, it went in pretty smoothly, and I was able to enjoy the smooth ride for a few moments. However, I still wasn't feeling the rises I had seen on the condoms surface when I stretched it over my hand.

Again, I removed the condom and switched to my thickest and currently favorite toy, the Moon Plug. This time when I inserted my anal toy, I could feel the bumps and felt a delighted shiver at the same time. It felt very nice and did give me a great deal of extra stimulation. It felt very nice to pump it in and out as well as just twist it around.

The lasting performance didn't seem as nice as the Intense Sensation. It was completely smooth, and while it could stretch just as far, it didn't adjust very well on my second toy and broke very quickly.

Overall, since I couldn't give an unbiased test to the banana flavored condom and the two condoms I did try I really couldn't come back and try a second time, I'm going to give them a three out of five stars. Not what I was expecting but not a total loss either.
