Advantages: A good basic condom that is for the "larger" male
Disadvantages: non

...I have just seen a review of the Mates Natural and have to disagree. These are excellent condoms for those who are slightly better endowed or who prefer a condom that isn't too tight. They are (equal with Inspiral) the easiest condoms to put on. They are of standard thickness (there are thicker and thinner), but are bigger than the others (length and diameter). The sensitivity is good (tighter condoms around the glans reduce sensitivity for most men). They are sensibly priced if you buy the larger packs and are usually less expensive that other "standard" condoms. They have spermicide, so if you you plan to give a blow-job, remember that all the spermicides taste terrible and slightly dull your mouth. Mates condoms seem to be almost identical to their Durex equivalents except for slightly larger sizes and slightly lower prices.... Read review

Advantages: Great tasty substitute for milk
Disadvantages: None - I love it!

...I first discovered Coffee Mate last year when dog sitting for my mum and dad. My mum isn't the best shopper in the world, as I discovered when making a coffee, only to find there wasn't any milk in the fridge. However, sat next to the coffee jar was a tin of Nestle Coffee Mate. Not too keen on trying it, I resolved that it would do until we bought some milk. I don't know why I wasn't keen on the coffee mate. I remember having it in a drink years ago and it was tasteless and didn't melt into the coffee, so there were little white bits floating on the top. However, it's obvious that Coffee Mate has been perfected since then because a coffee in my house aint a proper coffee unless it's got Coffee Mate in it. *About Coffee Mate** Coffee Mate is made by Nestle UK Ltd. Nestle describe this product as 'the original brand recognised... Read review

Advantages: You Learn About Me
Disadvantages: You Learn About Me

...hi everyone, i havn't written anything for a while, so i decided to edit my 'All About Me' review. :-) I was born in Lincoln in 1991, i have aways lived in the same house wich i love. I don't think i would ever be able to move, everything that has ever happened to me has happened in that house, i would miss it so much if i left. Anyway i have ginger hair which i love, it's great to be ginger don't let anyone tell you otherwise, i have got brown eyes and i'm quite tall, which is also a good thing lots of my mates are small, and they hate it. I also look older than i am so people come up to me in town with questionaires n there like 'how long have you left school' i'm like i'm only in the second year. School- I don't really like school but i don't know if i could live without it. School is a great thing to keep your mind off things... Read review

Advantages: good search directory
Disadvantages: some rubbish arrives in your mail box

...I personally think this is a great service indeed - When organising my school reunion there at the end of last year I was stuck with the problem at trying to locate some of my old school mates - I really was at the stage of pulling my hair out. So i decided to join hotmail.com - with two ideas in mind - firstly to set up an alternative email address for my self and secondly to try and locate the long lost from school. It was very simple to set up an account with them - so my next step was to try the directory for old school mates. The directory was easy to use and very quick to come back to me with results. It was a case of trial and error and I had to email all the results to see if i had found who i was looking for. Over all I managed to locate a fair number of my old school mates - and it was really just a lucky dip. Hotmail... Read review

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 should be, 'Is there a noticeable difference in sensation?' I 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... Read review

Advantages: Everyone learns
Disadvantages: some learn more than others

...I can remember my first ever sex ed lesson i was in year 6 the girls went in one room the boys in another and we were told all about sex and different disease, we also had to put a condom on to a cucumber amongst all the giggling i dont feel this was really all that good as this was the first and last lesson i had on sex education in my whole school life. i learnt alot of things by asking my mom and also from mates, you see children pick up alot from their mates and i think this plays a big part in them learning about sex education, Not all schools have sex education lessons on the time table most of them are just one off lessons like i had, i think teachers, parents and mates play a very big part in learning about sex education, i feel that with sex education being on the school timetable that nobody misses out. Parent should also... Read review

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

...I seem to spend rather a lot of time reviewing websites and road testing condoms. If only I could find a way to combine the two interests.... But, that’s digression of a dangerous nature so back to the topic in hand. I’ve always had a preference to Durex, in particular the Select range that have the rather nice tasting strawberry flavoured condoms, and the cool minty green ones. Well, that was until hubby came home with 12 mates..... wooo hooooooo!!!! So, where the hell do you start with your hubby and 12 mates? Well, firstly before you all get the wrong idea about me and hubby and our sex life, 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... Read review

Advantages: Addictive viewing
Disadvantages: bad language

...Big Brother is on everyday but at different times each day. It is about ten people, who have never met before, living in a house and they are cut off from the outside world. They are not allowed to have any contact with anybody or thing in the outside world. I think that this is the hardest thing that the housemates have had to deal with. They find it hard not seeing their families. Each week the housemates have to nominate two of the house mates and the two house mates with the most votes are up for eviction. The public then gets to decide by phoning in for which housemate they want evicted out of the two nominees. The housemate with the most votes gets evicted that week.... Read review

Advantages: great animation and narration
Disadvantages: a bit too realistic - some say

...Walking with Dinosaurs is brilliant – the animation is so lifelike, kids from 1 to 100 will be reeling back instinctively. I found it was a great way to help explain several topics – evolution, mating, animal behaviour. Most fascinating was the personal observations from the kids. If you haven’t had a chance to tape it, lobby the BBC to buy copies. Best of all, the BBC are extending the series; another one is due by Christmas 2000. The only fault one can find are the assumptions presented as fact – the colours of the mating fan, for instance.... Read review

Advantages: Great match options, good graphics, lots of wrestlers to choose
Disadvantages: The very first PS2 version of Smackdown - new wrestlers not included.

...[Review from my website - www.ps2-central.co.uk] This wrestling game is good but not as good as WWE Smackdown Shut Your Mouth, or Here Comes The Pain. This has less characters than SYM and HCTP (no Hulk Hogan, Brock Lesnar and the like). But the gameplay is amazing just like SYM. The Royal Rumble match (which you can play with 3 of your mates) is great. Throwing your mates' WWE characters is absolutely funny. Do it any way you can - punch, slap or a throwing move! If you had enough of throwing your mates out of the ring to win for a while, try the King Of The Ring. You don't play against your mates (unless you and your mates go through the rounds) in a randomly selected match. It could be anything. My mate I was playing with kept getting TLC (UNLUCKY!!) but you can get I Quit, Falls Count Anywhere, Hell In A Cell, Cage, Table, Ladder... Read review
