I am a chick, so i don't always put as much thought into condoms as I should. They keep sex safer and that’s all that matters, right? Wrong! Beyond the effect they have on my partner's pleasure, which we'll get to shortly, they do make a difference to me as well. This led to a month of experimenting with different kinds. This week was the Pleasure Plus.

"The new shape in condoms is none other than the Pleasure Plus®. Ergonomically designed to stimulate both him and her." Well they are different, shaped like a little submarine, a normal condom with a hump. Let’s start at the packaging; this was a major plus for me. These come in a tin, looks almost like an eye glass case but not quite as large. This won’t hold up to major abuse but give your condoms significantly better protection when they are thrown in the toy bag, and has enough room for a small container of lube to be put in with it. Getting my fun stuff from here to there and keeping it all nice and neat is a big deal for me so this container scored major points over a standard condom box. The packaging of each individual condom is standard, easy to open and expiration dates clearly printed (because we all check that right?).

I was also very happy to find that these condoms had very little smell, and no noticeable taste. I hate that latex-y taste left on either of our bits from condoms and this not only left no taste on me or my partner but even giving head with the condom on was not bad. The extra pouch was a bit weird for oral, but once I got used to it I was able to use it to my advantage. For penetrative sex I didn't notice a difference, whatever texture was there I could not feel. Like most condoms these are lubricated with a water based lube. Since I find that competes with my body’s own lube I always keep condom friendly silicone lube in my toy bag and these reacted as any others I have used. Nothing notable about the lube.

Now from his point of view, these are a size matters issue!! A partner of mine who is average in penis size (average being around the size of the silk medium dildo by Tantus) found this condom to be amazing, he said it was tight enough that it didn't slip around and the pouch gave fantastic stimulation. He was very pleased by the inner ribbing. Another partner however who is larger in girth found this uncomfortable, almost painful. The base ring does not have the stretch of some other brands and was constricting. I would say if one likes to wear a cock ring this could be beneficial but for the boys on the bigger side thess may not work for you.

Over all I found these interesting and since they didn't cost much more than a "normal" condom, I would recommend those who don't use larger size condoms check these out.

I tried this condom with three male partners, all with various size endowments. The reviews were far higher from my boys on the average side of things. I also asked they try them with other women to see if the special extra pouch was noticed by any of the women. It was not, I couldn't tell nor could anyone else who helped in our experiment. Science hasn't changed it that much, but it was a fun experiment anyway.

For those who fit this unique condom, it is still lots of fun. I have restocked it a few times now and for my average sized partners it is our go to condom. I also really like the container they come in; I have used them for other sexy supplies as well.
