Male condom discontinued
by Ansell

Lifestyles: Taste the rainbow!

Bottom line: This condom delivered what it promised, although I wish the flavor lasted a bit longer. Even with the flavor gone, it didn't taste bad or anything. Whether you just want to play it safe, a quick clean up, or just spice things up with a bit of flavor, I would highly recommend these condoms.

I will be honest: This was my first time using a condom during oral sex, much less a flavored one. Condoms certainly makes sex play safer by helping to protect against sexually transmitted infections, plus they provide easy clean-up to boot. Remember: condoms are not just for non-committed couples! My husband and I will often use condoms just for the "quick clean up" factor. It certainly makes life easier when we just want a quickie before he has to run back to work (and who wants to worry about some embarrassing stains in THAT situation?)

Now, for the condoms themselves: We decided to put the Lifestyles condoms to the test with an always-fun blow job. I was initially really turned off by the texture of the condom in my mouth because I felt like I was sucking on a plastic bag. I suspect that there is no getting around this sensation if ones chooses to use a condom for oral play.

I was extremely skeptical about the taste at first, but I was pleasantly surprised! First I tried out the strawberry, and it was almost like sucking on a jolly rancher. I was truly impressed that there was NO latex smell or taste at all! However, after only a few minutes, the tasty flavor was gone which was fairly disappointing. The good news however, is that there was no nasty latex taste to follow!

Taste aside, the condom itself was everything that my husband and I have come to expect from Lifestyles. He reported great comfort, good sensitivity, and overall good fit just like the other Lifestyles condoms we have tried in the past. If you are the type that prefers less sensitivity, you might want to look elsewhere. My husband said he was also surprised at just how good oral sex with a condom was. There are times when he wants me to perform oral sex on him at the spur of the moment but feels like he shouldn't ask because he doesn't have time to "clean up." These tasty condoms are now a very viable option for those quickie encounters!

The colored condoms were also a fun change in our bedroom just to spice things up a little I suppose, but personally I found the bright colors less sexy and more funny than anything else. But hey, there is nothing wrong with having fun in the bedroom right? It was certainly worth a good laugh, and the overall performance of the condoms has us sold regardless of color. We won't discriminate!
Follow-up commentary
There is nothing really wrong with these condoms, but I find myself not going back to them just because I don't look forward to the sucking-on-a-plastic-grocery-bag sensation. The condoms work great and I still agree with everything I said in the review, but they just aren't a major draw to me anymore.

    When we made the switch away from condoms, I was so surprise at how messy sexy is. Still, I would never want to go back.

    Do the colours match the flavours? You mentioned strawberry, was it red? (I ask only 'cause the image here is yellow and I expected you to mention banana)

    Yes the colors do match the flavors (strawberry was red, banana is yellow, etc.)

    Thanks for the review!
    I'm wondering about the size of those. Are they suitable for a bigger than average man?
