You're supposed to put them on once you're hard, not before. Maybe the merc needs to instruct the hipsters in proper condom usage before it runs it's little "tests."

And there are so many brands available over the net these days, why confine yourself to supermarket shit?

Fuck.

I've always heard that Trojan wasn't as good as the other brands too, but my experience of non-latex condoms (I'm allergic; latex = poison ivy) is one box of Durex: 2 out of 6 broke, and quite a few boxes of Trojans, none of which broke. Mr. Lucky was average-sized and our love-making was very vanilla, so I don't think the issue was user-specific.

For non-latex condoms, my unscientific study recommends Trojan. And the morning-after pill.

Thank you, Consumer Slut Sleuth, for devoting valuable lab-whore-atory time and resources to the quest for the perfect condom. I've been using Trojans (the name sounds sexy, not sinister, from this side of the gender aisle) since I was 20. That is now almost 500 years ago. Trojans are always available (for the reasons you cite), they're cheap, they're lubricated, and in all these years of use I remember very few fails (fortunately, not epic fails) of the latex. I've occasionally had sex without a Trojan, but it feels wrong. Trojans to me ARE sex, but now that I've reviewed your research, I'm going to swing out and try these other brands. (BTW, if I approached my dog with my hand wrapped inside a condom, he'd freak.)
