World's Best Condoms 2009

The results from our 8th Annual Condom Awards are in. 2009 saw some great new condom innovation from new kids on the block "Bravo" as well as the addition of a few new names. Our reviewers concluded that Sensitivity and Reliability are the two most important condom characteristics. For the second straight year, Trojan Condoms did not score well with our reviewers mostly complaining of lack of sensitivity and latex smell.

This year our "Official Condom Tester Pool" consisted of regular customers that were asked to sample 40 of our best condoms. The forty condoms they received where decided by combining our top Selling Condoms with the ratings we receive from our customers via online reviews. Our official condom tester team was made up of folks from a varied segment of the population including, Three Florida Swingers Clubs, Students from various Universities and 50 couples of various ages. This year our pool consisted of 250.

And The Winners Are...

Beyond Seven Condoms

Kimono Micro Thin Condoms
2 Time Winner
Micro Thin = Super Sensitivity. Feel closer to your partner.
He have to hand it to the Japanese. These condoms are so sensitive we find ourselves double checking to make sure we even put it on! Both men and women kept stating that the condoms are so thin that they thought the experience was as close to bare back as they have ever experienced.

Micro Thins are the self proclaimed "Thinnest Condom in the world" and in our opinion they live up to the claim and are FDA approved for reliability. If you never tried them we highly recommend that you give them a try as you do not know what you are missing.

This super sensitivity comes with a caveat though. USE EXTRA LUBE. Anytime you use a condom this thin and sensitive, you need to add a couple of drops of waterbased lubricant inside and outside the condom. Trust us, it will make the experience 10x better and will eliminate the friction that causes condom failure.

Characteristics - Super Thin. Super Sensitive. Straight Wall design with Reservoir Tip.
She Thinks - WOW! Is he even wearing a condom?
He Thinks - WOW! I'm I even wearing a condom?
Average Tester Rating - Her: A+, Him: A
Condom Stats - Head Width: 2", Shaft Width: 2", Base Width: 2", Length: 7-1/2", Thickness: 0.0019"

Wicked Thin for more feeling and super reliable! First Time Winner

Our favorite new condom for 2009. Bravo condoms are not only one of the highest quality sensitive condoms we have ever tried, but they also have a great packaging design that is easily the best in the business.

Each Bravo 3 Pack or "Wallet" is marketed in a way that makes sense and shows that safe sex can be great sex, up-beat and fun. They are also the only brand that includes a bag to dispose of your rubber when you are done. It only took 200 years for someone to figure that out? And trust us and our review staff, its not all hype. These condoms are simply fantastic and offer high sensation for both partners with a non existent odor. And don't be fooled by the Bravo claim of Wicked Thin. These condoms are "Wickedly Thin" but also are incredibly reliable. Bravo is one of the few "Sensitive" brands we carry that are not prone to added breakage due to thinness. We expect a lot of new innovations in the future from this freshman brand with an attitude.

Characteristics - Very Sensitive, Low latex odor, Great Packaging, Average Size.
She Thinks - "My husband can party like a rock star wearing this cool California Condom. I love the fact that I don't smell burning rubber when we turn it up a notch or two!"
He Thinks - "Not only are these condoms "Wicked Thin", but I never broke one. That alone is worth the price of admission. Just wish they made them a little bigger."
Average Tester Rating - Her: A-, Him: A-
Condom Stats - Head Width: 2 ", Shaft Width: 2 ", Base Width: 2 ", Length: 7.5 ", Thickness: 0.018"

The newest addition to the LifeStyles Condom line-up and a instant classic. The His & Her Pleasure lives up to its name as it truly offers pleasure to both partners.

Best Safe Sex Gadget

Vibrating Johnny® - Vibrating Condom

Clitoral Stimulation For Her & Rock Hard Erections For Him

We have seen many of these gadgets come to our office over the years but never have we been so impressed with the Vibrating Johnny! As one reviewer submitted, "Fantastic! my wife absolutely loved this product! The stimulator was perfectly positioned and gave her multiple orgasms! 4 Thumbs Up!"

Here's the skinny. The Vibrating Johnny works in two different ways. For him, it acts as an erection enhancer. It keeps blood flow in the penis which makes for a longer, more "Ripped" looking Penis. For Her, it features a Textured Vibrating Clitoral Stimulator. When he wears it, the stimulator comes into contact with her clitoris which gives her incredible pleasure. We like it much better than similar products because it lasts longer, seems more powerful and it stays on because it has a bumpy ring. The ring's bumps keep it in place during wild sex. Ride'em Cowgirl, Yeeha!

Characteristics - Lasts for about 20-30 minutes. Has a convenient on/off switch for multiple use.
She Thinks - Stimulator hits all the right spots with powerful vibrations!
He Thinks - It makes the veins in my penis look like Gov. Arnold in 'Conan the Barbarian'!
Average Tester Rating - Her: A+, Him: A+
Condom Stats - Stretchable - One Size Fits All

Unlike any other lube in that it doesn't dry up and in never gets sticky feeling. Being that it's silicone based, it's safe for use in and out of water and condom safe.. Although this lube is more expensive than Water Based Lubricants, it has a better value because you only need a drop or two at the most. This silicone lube is taste-free, fragrance free, and will NEVER get sticky feeling or dry out. Its condom safe but may interact with silicone toys. WATCH OUT FOR GENERIC BODYGLIDE. There are many Lower Quality BodyGlides on the market. If the label does not have the "Pjur" Name on it, it is not Original Eros.

Mike & Donna in Florida say; "This is the best lubricant we have ever used. We have not found any other that come close to its ability to maintain lubricity, while being very smooth and silky.."

Characteristics - It never dries. Can be used in the shower and under water. One drop is all that's needed.
Average Tester Rating - Her: A+, Him: A+
