Hi James. Thanks so much for commenting. It’s good to hear about others’ experiences with these. Thomas is currently trying out some Skyns, so it will be interesting to see how your experiences compare. I know he’s used the Durex Avanti condoms in the past, and that he preferred the Durex Deluxe from a sensation perspective, but the cost does start to become an issue when you’re talking a pack a week :-/ (Is there such a thing as a condom mortgage, I wonder?!) Just out of interest, did you find the Deluxe condoms hard to get on? Thomas originally noted that they were quite inflexible, especially at the base, but has recently mentioned to me that they seem to have a little more ‘give’. However, he’s not sure whether he’s just gotten used to them, or if Durex have made a tweak …

I’ve used these recently and have found them to be the best for sensation, the closest to not wearing a condom at all. I’ve also tried the none latex Durex Avanti – these are ok, and also tried Skyns – these are also ok but in terms of ranking I’d definately rate Deluxe as No. 1, Avanti 2, Skyns 3. Re the packaging – I like this as they’re quite easy to open and also the condom is presented ‘the right way up’ so there’s very little chance of trying to roll it on the wrong way around which I have had problems with other condoms in the past, especially if the room’s a bit dark!
Yes they’re quite expensive, but as I only use a few each month a price well worth it to get maximum bang for my buck…
