Lifestyles studded 12 pack - male condom discontinued by Ansell - review by Suzy

These condoms by Lifestyle were fun. I love studded and ribbed condoms. They feel so nice and different. The only problem I had with these was the lubrication. There really wasn't enough, my partner and I had to keep adding more until I could get wet. Whenever my partner and I were able to have foreplay before hand, these condoms were a go go go! But when we wanted to just have a simple quicky...these condoms had a lot of friction. I did like it when my partner rubbed his penis (with the condom on) on my clitoris. Made for a great clitoral tickler!

With lube that came with the condoms (when it worked properly), it was not hard to clean up. There was also a very mild smell of rubber, but not enough to bother me or my partner.

Thickness: These studded condoms were a bit thick. I remember my partner saying he couldn't really feel much and had to really be into it in order to get off. He also complained that they were a little tighter than the Trojans that we are used to using. The studded condom did leave a small red ring around his penis. We couldn't figure out if he was allergic to the condom, the lube, or it was just too tight.

After switching up condom use (Using other Lifestyles, Durex, and Trojan condoms), my partner and I found that each company has a discrete size difference. Lifestyles are smaller than Trojan and Durex condoms. Lifestyles also don't give as much (it's not as rubbery as the other condom brands).

I recommend this to anyone who wants a little difference in the bedroom. Anal may be fun with this as well. I know the ribs feel great. It's always nice to have a fish bowl full of random condoms to use.
