Kimono MicroThin Large (12 PACK) - male condom discontinued by Mayer Laboratories - review by Jul!a

The long waged battle of having to choose between being able to feel more of your partner and practicing safe sex has led company after company to create thinner condoms. Some are phenomenal; allowing both the wearer and receiver to completely forget there's a condom there, while some are flops and almost make things worse. Kimono has hit the nail right on the head with their MicroThin condoms.

The average condom is 7.5" long, 2.04" wide at the base, and .0027" thick. MicroThin is a little bit longer at 7.68", has a base and shaft width of 2.05", with the width at the head being 2.34", allowing for a little extra wiggle and breathing room, which is great for guys with larger heads. While not the thinnest condom out there, MicroThin is still a bit thinner at .0022" thick.

Really long or thick guys should probably look for a different condom however, but use your best judgment. If it feels tight or starts to leave a mark, take it off immediately and switch to something bigger.

I couldn't find any real discernible latex smell, and I haven't personally tasted these either.

The packaging doesn't list what kind of lubricant they use, and the internet says it's silicone; however, the instruction pamphlet says to only use a water based lubricant if you need more, and they recommend their Aqua Lube. Either way, I found the provided lubrication to be adequate, but if you start to run low on natural lubrication, make sure to add some more. You should be safe using anything that is latex safe, and most water based and silicone based lubricants are. Avoid oil based lubes and stay away from body lotions, Vaseline, and the like. The oil base can degrade the latex and cause breakage, which would be bad m'kay?

These, like all other condoms, should be stored 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, brittle, or looks damaged, don't use it. You should always use a new condom each time you engage in a new sex act, never reuse. You would use these the same way you use any other condom with a reservoir tip, pinch the tip to remove all the air, and then roll down the shaft.

The instruction pamphlet inside the box does contain instructions for use, but if you're still unsure how to put a condom on correctly, more detailed written instructions can be found here, or Planned Parenthood offers a video that you can watch.

Everything about these say large. Every review on them I've read says that they can rival Magnums, however my fairly small fiance wore these with no issues whatsoever, which says to me they they will fit a wide variety of sizes and shapes.

For me, the only difference between just him and wearing this condom was that his natural texture just felt smoother. The condom seemed to contour perfectly to his shape and I could still feel the difference between his head and his shaft.

For him, he loves that he can feel more of me. The latex can only be felt if you're really concentrating on trying to feel it, but once you're going and in the heat of the moment, you won't notice it at all.

We have a fairly large collection of condoms that is slowly dwindling. One of these made its way back out the other night and was met with a "you can definitely buy more of this one in the future if you want." Which really does say a lot considering that most condoms get an ever so helpful "it's a condom, what else do you want me to say?" Both my husband and myself still like these, and would still recommend them to anybody who's interested.
