The Closest Thing To Nothing At All
Sorry lengthy guys, the short guys get this round. But for those of you who can fit into this shorter than average condom, it is well worth the investment.Published: March 19, 2010
Pros:
Feels almost like nothing's there, reservoir tip, no latex smell.
Cons:
Not for lengthy guys.
I was a bit nervous about trying a condom I had never actually heard anything about anywhere else before, but I'm definitely glad I tried these out.
RFSU is a Swedish company that actually has quite a wide array of products, from condoms, to sex toys, to even tampons and lip balm.
According to RFSU, Profil is their most popular brand of condom and I think I can tell you why: They feel like nothing. Or at least as close to nothing as I've ever found in a condom.
The average condom is 7.5" long, 2.04" wide at the base, and .002" thick. The Profil condoms come in at 7.2" long, 2.08" wide at the base, and .002" thick.
Because of how much shorter these condoms are, lengthy guys can't use them, but if you're a little thicker than average and still fit in the length, you shouldn't have a problem. Remember, that if the condom feels like it's starting to cut off circulation you should switch to a bigger one immediately.
This condom can be used safely with water based or silicone based lube. RFSU recommends using a water based lube, never with any oil based lubes such as petroleum jelly, baby oil, body lotion, etc.
There was no discernible latex smell, and I didn't taste it either.
The little package I got held 3 condoms and came with directions in 3 different languages. You are supposed to open the package by tearing, never with any sharp objects, pull back the foreskin and fit the condom carefully onto the erect penis. Squeeze the tip to remove the air and gently unroll down the shaft. They even include removal directions, which I've never seen on any condom before.
I've also never seen condoms packaged in anything other than your generic square, and I thought it was really neat, so I'm including a picture so the rest of you can see too!

Experience
So like I said a bit earlier, I was a bit nervous about trying a condom I had never heard of before. But seriously, it felt like the closest to nothing that I had felt before.
My fiance said that it felt as close to bareback as one could get without actually being bareback, and unfortunately, this didn't help him to last very long. He also said that for him it was just about as tight as it could be without being painful. But I think that even if he were a bit thicker he would have been perfectly fine.
But Profil is one of our new favorite condoms for sure, I'll definitely be buying more than a small sample pack.
If I missed anything please don't hesitate to ask.

These are still among our favorites. We have run out, but do definitely plan to buy more.
If you or your guy is on the shorter side, I highly recommend these.

Thank you for viewing Profil – male condom review page!
mayhaps we'll give these a go... durex extra sensitive are our go-to condoms
They really are fantastic. I'm looking into the other high sensitivity ones too just to see how they all compare
