Rough rider studded - male condom discontinued by Ansell - review by Jul!a

Rough Rider claims that when you want extra stimulation, this is the one. Seductively studded up and down and all the way around to provide extra sensation and excitement. Rough Rider The Original Studded for those seeking to maximize pleasure.

The specs: The average condom is 7.5" long, 2.04" wide at the base, and .0027" thick. Rough Rider studs comes in pretty on par, being 7.48" long, and having the same width and thickness. If you or your guy find most of the 'average' condoms to be too tight or uncomfortable, these probably will too.

The physicalities: These condoms are studded, and wonderfully so. Once on your penis or penis shaped object of choice, you can easily feel the studs with your fingers, running it along the condom. Very sensitive vaginae might find these studs to be too intense, but for the rest of us that normally can't feel textures, you won't feel individual studs or anything, but you'll definitely be able to feel texture. There wasn't much in the way of a latex smell that I could find. The provided lube did feel nice to the touch, but didn't seem to be enough for me personally, so I added more.

The safety stuff: Store these and all other condoms in a cool dry area, out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperatures. You can use any body safe lube that isn't oil based, so no lotion, no vaseline, etc.

How their claim held up: Wow. I don't always like intense sensations, but these were just close enough without going overboard. I definitely couldn't feel any individual studs, although they were neat to look at on my fiance's penis. While I couldn't feel anything individually, there was a rougher feel to the whole sex act(the best way I can think of to describe it) that definitely added something very awesome to the mix.

These have become our new favorite textured condoms, along with the Vivid Studded, not because they do anything for him, but because I enjoy them so much. For him, they felt, well, average. It certainly didn't feel like nothing at all, but the sensations weren't completely blocked out either.

These are still condoms I enjoy using, and still condoms my husband doesn't overly care one way or the other for. So I pick up a small pack here and there, and he doesn't complain when I say we're using that one. I would still recommend it to women who usually have a hard time feeling texture internally.
