Mates-all you need from a condom

Advantages: feel natural, go on easily
Disadvantages: made of natural rubber latex

Mates condoms are a brand that have been going for twenty years. They are owned by Ansell (UK) Ltd. Until recently, I had never heard of Mates, but I have to say that they are really good. The natural comdoms come in boxes of twelve. The box is red and silver. From the Tesco website, they cost £4.57 for this box of twelve. The condoms themselves are made of natural rubber latex, which can cause an allergy. They are coated in a non-spermicide lubricant, ...
...several things that I like Mates that I find annoying about other brands. The first thing is that they are more 'natural' feeling than Durex 'natural' condoms, which is what we used to use. They are also slightly thinner, but dont feel as though they are about to split. Secondly, mates condoms dont leave your hands feeling as horrible after putting one. With these, my hands dont feel as sticky and slimy as others do. As I hate having dirty hands, ...

Review of Mates Ultra Safe

Group SEX and BUBBLE WRAP

Advantages: Enhanced pleasure from the studded surface, protection from disease and pregnancy
Disadvantages: May cause irritation to some people

...we’re talking Mates, not mates. Mates condoms. Why did he choose Mates as opposed to my normal preference of Durex? Basically the cost. Only £5.99 for a 12 pack from Tesco.... almost half the price we normally pay for Durex Select so they had to be worth a try. The Variety pack of mates contains three different types of condom... Coloured, Sensitive, and Intensity, and you get four of each sort in the pack. For the sake of this review, I’m ...
...an allergic reaction. Made of natural rubber latex, and manufactured and tested to a high standard of quality, I’d have no hesitation in recommending Mates Intensity to you. As for the other Mates in the pack, when hubby has recovered from the bubble wrap experience, I’ll let you know! ...

Review of Mates Intensity

Which ones to go for.

Advantages: Fit, generally a good all round condom
Disadvantages: Doesn't do what it says on the box

Mate's Ribbed condoms. Equivalent to Durex Arouser and similar ribbed brands. Designed and marketed as a method of heightening sensation for both partners. But do they work? One thing is for certain. Buying these condoms in place of any conventional condom is not going to instantly transform a flagging sex life and they will not instantly produce waves of ecstasy in women who previously have had trouble reaching orgasm. So the question more accurately ...
...think from the male point of view the answer would be no. I have found that, after trying many different brands and finally settling with Mate's natural, the quality of sensation experienced through a condom is much more dependent on the mood and compatibility of both partners. The effect of almost indefinable ridges in a condom is negligible. However, I must stress that I have found Mate's ribbed condoms to be no worse than any other brands in comfort ...
