Trustex flavored condoms - male condom discontinued by Line One Laboratories, Inc - review by Jul!a

One thing condoms are great for, besides blocking the transmission of STD's or pregnancy during sex, is also blocking the transmission of STD's and all that icky stuff during oral sex. The introduction of flavored condoms has had a lot of great benefits, promoting safer sex by making it yummy. Unfortunately with these, the flavor doesn't last that long. However once the flavor is gone you're not left with a latex taste.

The average condom is 7.5" long, 2.04" wide at the base and along the shaft, and .002" thick. These condoms come in on par with length and thickness, but are narrower at the base, along the shaft, and in the head, coming in at 1.75". I would avoid putting these on a penis that is above average in any way, however always use your best judgment. If it feels too tight or starts to leave a mark, take it off and go with something bigger.

The vanilla smells and tastes like vanilla flavoring. When I opened the wrapper for that one and put it on my fiancé, I discovered that only one side really had any flavoring or lube at all, and even that side was minimally coated.

The chocolate smells and tastes like a chocolate tootsie pop and had the same issue with the lube.

In fact, every single one of these condoms that I used was severely lacking in the lube department. They tasted pretty good, but the flavor only lasted a minute or two.

Based on the research I've done on these, the lubricant used is sugar free and also water based. From using these it doesn't seem as though there's enough lubrication on them to use unless the orifice you're putting these in is also pretty well lubricated on its own. That being said, make sure to add more lube if you're not already lubricated enough naturally.

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.

There's a pamphlet inside of the box that 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.

Even with the other flaws these condoms may have, I never had one break, so it still gets points for that.

While these come in on par with average thickness, they definitely feel thicker than the average condom. With 'average' condoms, I may not be able to feel him entirely, but I can't really feel the condom either. With these, I could definitely definitely feel the latex of the condom. In fact, I compare it to blowing or having sex with a balloon animal, because that's what popped into my head while I was giving head. That it smelled and tasted like the balloons you would use to make balloon animals.

The fact that none of them broke means that it still functions just fine as a condom, but it's definitely not on the top of my list of ones to grab.

I've heard these don't keep well to their expiration date, but I didn't keep mine around long enough to figure that out for myself. They ended up in the pile of "they're so bad you have to try them" that I give away to friends every now and then. They're not the worst things out there that you could try, but I only recommend them if you're only interested in the flavor, as every time I've tried them, it feels like his penis has become a rather solid balloon animal.
