Contempo bareback 3 pack - male condom discontinued by Ansell - review by Jul!a

Contempo Bareback condoms are made "for those who mount without a saddle and want to feel as though they are using nothing at all but still get all the reliable protection necessary from a condom." They do this through their design, which rather than relying on a snug fit relies on a looser one. And they've definitely done their research, because it really does feel like there's barely anything there.

The average condom is 7.5" long, 2.04" wide at the base, and .002" thick. The Contempo Bareback comes in at 7.48" long, 2.04" wide at its base, also .002" thick. So it really is the design of the condom that makes it work, which I find fairly impressive.

Because of the measurements, if regular condoms are too small for you, you won't be able to use these either, sorry lengthy and girthy guys.

Although this condom comes lubricated, you can use this condom safely with water based or silicone based lubes. The package itself recommends a water based lube. Never use an oil based lube, such as mineral oil, creams like body lotion, or petroleum jelly, as you can degrade the condom and increase the risk of breakage.

There was no discernible latex smell. I haven't personally tasted them.

The package is obviously not going to be discreet. But the one I ordered came with 3 condoms inside a little box. Instructions are printed on the inside of the box in both English and Spanish.

You should store these condoms at room temperature. Protect them from prolonged periods of exposure to extreme high or low temperatures, moisture, direct sunlight and fluorescent light. If the condom is sticky or brittle or looks damaged, don't use it.

You use these the same way you use any other condom with a reservoir tip, pinch the tip to remove all the air, then roll down the shaft.

This condom does seem very durable as well. I mean, all condoms have their breaking point, but as long as you make sure that you don't run down on lubrication and end up with increased friction, you'll be perfectly fine.

After the last set of "almost nothing" condoms I reviewed, I was really excited to see how another brand stacked up. These are wonderful, and there are less restrictions in length!

The big difference between this condom and the last "barely there" one I tried, the Profil, is that the Profil is designed to feel like nothing's there by being form fitting, and this one chose the route of being loose.

My fiance said to me that the only difference he could feel between the two of them was that he could feel that there was something moving between us, although it didn't change how anything felt.

If I missed anything, please don't hesitate to ask.

If you or your guy fit into most condoms with no problem, I still highly recommend these. We're buying more, and haven't found anything wrong with them yet.
