Best condom

*Est. $13 for box of 12 Compare Prices

Durex's line of ultra-thin condoms is highly praised by reviewers. It's a favorite of CondomDepot.com, which says it "feels like you have nothing on," and is also recommended by users posting reviews on Amazon.com.… According to testing by one major consumer organization, Durex Extra Sensitive is among the strongest (i.e., least likely to break) condoms on the market. Many sources also recommend the even thinner Kimono Micro Thin (*est. $13 for box of 12), though you may have to order these condoms online. Also, be aware that Kimono Micro Thin does not perform as well in strength tests as ultra-thin condoms by Durex and Trojan.

Best desensitizing condom

Trojan Extended Pleasure

*Est. $13 for box of 12 Compare Prices

Like Durex Extra Sensitive, Trojan Extended Pleasure condoms are rated highly for strength by one major review organization, and they're a favorite of retailer/reviewer BuyCondom.com and users posting on Amazon.com. The… lubricant used by these condoms contains a desensitizing agent (Benzocaine) that may extend sexual pleasure. This additive prompts mixed feelings among some online sources, but most users say these condoms work as intended.
