There's really not much of a difference between them imo. I don't know if the ribbed actually make a difference for the girls but it doesn't matter for me. I usually go with spermicidal condoms though just in case.

3rd hint: don't wear 2 condoms at once. They will break

Are spermicidal condoms more expensive than regular ones? Also, which companies manufacture them? I haven't seen any spermicidal condoms where I'm from.

Most condom brands have them. They're fairly common in gas stations and most local retailers in my area. Usually the prices are about the same. I typically go with the lifestyles brand. It's usually about 5 bucks for a pack of 3

> I don't know if the ribbed actually make a difference for the girls

Have you tried asking? Consideration about the pleasure of your partner might be a welcome one

Not trying to brag but since you brought it up, both my dick game and head game are good enough to the point where I'm not really concerned about ribbed condoms making a difference. A different shoe isnt gonna make or break michael jordan when he steps onto the court. Hes gonna run the match regardless. Just saying.

4th hint: tie a knot in it before disposing after the deed is done. It will leak and become gross.

I used to think they were all more or less the same until I started buying my own and stopped using the ones they were giving away for free at college or the doctor's office. I am still grateful for the free condoms, but in hindsight, they weren't the nicest ones.

I would encourage you or anyone else using condoms to try different ones and see what you like. Be open minded and try the different sizes, thicknesses, and materials. For example, my favorite so far are the skyn elite, which is a non-latex. Neither me or my partner have a latex allergy, so it would have seemed unnecessary to use non-latex, but I just ended up liking them more.

I also second u/Trivial_specter 's advice, it's a good explanation.

Lmao.

>A different shoe isnt gonna make or break michael jordan when he steps onto the court

Categorically untrue, there is a reason soldiers wear combat boots, laborers wear wide shoes with iron reinforcements, and athletes wear sneakers.

5th hint: if this is all too much work then dont have sex, get oral instead

Skyn is the best!

ribs/bumps are meant to simulate the feeling of the natural foreskin

thinner condoms are meant to transmit heat

always put lube inside of the condom for the wearer's benefit!

Skyn is excellent. Now that they have a 'big guy' size, I'm thrilled to be able to use them on everyone. For traditional latex I like Lifestyles Kyng (big), Kimono XL (normal), Crown Skinless Skin (normal to snug) and regular Kimono (snug)

That just sounds like a great way to have it slip off.

It's recommended by PP.

>It’s easy to use lube with condoms — just rub lube on the outside of the condom after you put it on. You can also add a few drops of lube inside the tip of the condom or on the penis before you roll the condom on. And you can put lube directly on a vulva and/or anus too. There’s no right or wrong amount — whatever feels good works.

Anecdotally, I've never had a condom just 'slip off' of a fully erect penis in 13 years of sex work. Breaks happen, and slippage can come when the blood leaves the party but an erect penis? Nah.

How do you know which one to pick? Just buy 3-packs (and use them lol) till you find the one that is comfortable for you and your partner.

I just tweeted those product images yesterday 😂😂😂

They really make lube (its not great), I'd assume they sell it in that size because it has some kind of secondary use. I know astroglide can be used in some sort of machining but unsure about water based
