The claim: Trojan claims with these condoms that the Warm Sensations lubricant will help enhance sensual pleasure for both partners. If you're very sensitive to warming lubricants, this may very well be true.

The specs: The average condom is 7.5" long, 2.04" wide at the base, and .0027" thick. Shared pleasure come in a bit longer at 7.87" long but come in on par with everything else. If you find most average condoms to be too tight on you, this one will feel the same way.

The physicalities: So in theory, how these shared pleasure condoms work is that a warming lubricant on the inside and outside of the condom are activated by your body's natural moisture. This warming lubricant then releases 'gentle and warm sensations for mutual sensations.' There was a little bit of warming, but he didn't notice anything. There is also a bit of a latex smell. Not super strong, but strong enough that I could smell it from a few feet away.

The safety stuff: You should never use an oil based lube, since the oil base can degrade the latex and increase the risk of breakage, and that's a bad thing. If for whatever reason you find yourself needing more lube with this, anything water or silicone based will suffice. Trojan recommends you add more warming lubricant to 'keep the fire going.' Never reuse a condom, and always keep out of extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.

How the claim held up: Meh. That's really all I could say. The lube felt sort of warm, but it was impossible to tell if that was the lubricant doing its job, or the fact that our private parts happened to also be very warm. I was able to fairly easily forget he was wearing a condom, but it didn't feel quite the same way. He said that while it wasn't super obvious to him like a few other condoms we've tried, he could still definitely tell there was something there.

All in all, these weren't all that bad. I mean, I'd rather have a warming lube not get very warm than make me do the naked dash to the bathroom to wash myself off. They weren't uncomfortable to use, for either of us, and they've never broken, which also bodes well. If you're very sensitive to warming lubricants, you should be safe trying these since the warming doesn't seem to be very strong.

We need a "I'm completely neutral on this still" option because if we did, that's what I'd pick. This isn't a great condom, but it isn't a bad condom. If it gets pulled out of the pile, we'll use it, but we're not going out of our way to find it.
