What is a Condom and How Do They Work?

Ultra Thin Condoms

If you're looking for a more natural feeling from your condom. Try an ultra thin condom. They are made from much thinner latex than their counterparts and can make it feel as though the condom is barely there.

Usually they're 20% thinner than normal condoms but some go as far as 40% thinner, meaning it really does feel like it's not there. Normally they're made from super high quality latex so have the same durability and strength so you're still protected.

These condoms are especially designed to make the pleasure last for longer. They use a special lubricant, often Benzocaine, to prolong and improve a mans sexual performance.

They still offer the same, excellent, protection other condoms do and have the same features such as reservoir teats. You may find them slightly thicker, but this is to slow stimulation keeping you both satisfied.
