Many have comment on the absence of latex in my op's in recent weeks and indeed some op's have been written without even the merest hint of the S word. Having found a willing tester I'm once again able to bring you a latex packed opinion -the things I do for you lot!
Durex market Sensation as a condom that will heightened pleasure to put it crudely what they'll trying to sell you is something that should have you screaming the house down in pleasure not pain I'd add. Obviously in the interests of opinionating I had to try these out didn't I?
Sensations comes in a rather garish orange box which can be easily identified by the Durex logo and the word Sensation written on the box. After snatching a box or two depending if Boots has it on special offer you'll find in the box the individually wrapped condoms. Durex would have us believe that the individual pouches are designed for easy access -all I'm saying is the person who designed the pouches didn't test drive them in a moment of passion! As with all condoms, care does have to be taken when opening the foil pouches thus it's not advisable to use your teeth as you could end up tearing the condom and getting a mouthful of the non spermicidal lubricant that covers these babies. You have been warned!
After fiddling around for what will seem like eternity in trying to open the foil pouch, you'll end up with a transparent condom which looks no different from any other Durex condom in it's rolled up state. Sensations have the unique Durex easy on design which is meant to make putting them on very easy. I suppose it really does depend on how used to putting on a condom you are as to whether or not this makes it any less fiddly.Thankfully after trying to open the packet one handed it rolled on without any problems. In it's unrolled state you will then notice on the middle of the condom numerous raised dots giving the condom a bubble wrap look to it. I did wonder with these added dots as to whether or not the condom would be a bit thicker than other normal condoms and therefore reduce the pleasure for one half of the testing duo but I was informed it was like wearing any other condom ta very much!
As with all Durex condoms, it is made of hypo allergenic latex - I'd still check to make sure neither party has a latex allergy just in case as you'd hate to be screaming fro all the wrong reasons wouldn't you? You can uncross your legs now! The Sensations condom measures in at 178mm and unlike some Durex condoms it has a standard width of 53mm all the way down it. Thickness wise it is 0.07mm thick which compares favorable with other "normal" condoms durex manufactures as those tend to be about 0.055mm thick -so it shouldn't dull the sensation for the male half of of the duo too much! It's not that much thicker so any talk of wellies etc should be ignored!
Given that Durex market Sensations as a condom that will heighten pleasure, I'll admit I was expecting something special when it came to the er results of using this condom. After sniggering a bit about the fact it looked like bubble wrap I was more than willing to give it a test drive in the interests of market research I'd add! For all of you of a prudish disposition I'd suggest you stop reading now. My first thoughts were it felt odd not unpleasant but a bit odd. As things got erm heated it definitely became a rather interesting sensation but still felt odd. A friend who tried them did say something about sandpaper and nether regions but I'll not dwell on that. In the end it did have the desired results but it's not a sensation I'd want to repeat again. In all honesty I'd suggest if you want to spice up things in the bedroom department try a Durex ribbed condom.
As with any condom if used properly it can protect you from sexually transmitted diseases. As with all Durex condoms sensations carry the kite mark and do have an expiry date.
Durex Sensation is available in packs of 3 and 12. I paid £3.99 for a pack of 3 in my local chemist. Bargains can be had online should you want to avoid bumping into the man at no10 as you casually snatch a packet or two. www.britishcondoms.com have them on offer at £2.49 for 3 or £8.50 for 12 or 72 for £45.95 - it pays to buy in bulk!!! P&P is free.
