I have a small stock of the Thin Feel ones for trusted clients who like them. Generally I avoid using them because I worry that they will be prone to break.

i have just bought a new box of 30 - the last box was probably about 2 years old. The new ones have different wrappers (sort of more paper/foil like and the old ones were plastic/foil with different printing - I assume a sort of brand update?

Anyhow, the rubbers seem different to me and a client even mentioned it. They are more white coloured, thinner feel, and annoyingly tighter to put on. They also have a very small sperm teat/reservoir.

I'm pretty certain that they are not fakes - got them from Superdrug.

Has anyone else noticed that this brand has changed? I don't have any of the old/good ones left to compare with and there is no "new improved" message on the pack.

The sperm teat is so small, it definitely won't hold the smallest cum - worries me that they might leak if a guy keeps thrusting after he has cum.

What do others use as thinnies for trusted clients.

Thanks Sammy

I'm mostly staggered that anybody worried about condoms breaking would buy Durex - I wouldn't use them if they were the last brand on Earth. But different things work for different people :).

All condoms for sale in the UK are subject to rigorous testing and have to gain a British Standards kitemark to prove they're fit for purpose; the thin ones are no more or less likely to break than the thick ones. The main reasons they do are bad application (such as not squeezing the air out), not fitting properly and unsuitable lube - user error, in other words.

I've found different batches of the same brand have varied over the years, but never enough to make them unusable. If you're concerned I would take them back since you got them at Superdrug, I buy in bulk online so it's more of a nuisance for me to do it.

Yes, they have had a brand change but they are just as good as they have ever been.
I've used them for years without issue.
I wouldn't use any other brand.

Interesting post. I had 2 condoms slip on me in the space of a week last summer & and they were both the regular yellow Trojans. Used for years, my standby, old faithful. Then I noticed when I was giving HJs they were wanting to slip up & off. I got so paranoid I started buying allll different lots (dates), & I couldn’t find any Trojans I would trust.

Ditched them completely & went to Durex, never looked back since.

I tried some EXS Air Thin, and they were OK for up to a scant average size. Like Amy I usually avoid Durex as they're the brand that have failed me most often. If sensitivity/feeling is important I think Skyns are best - I'm not convinced a few microns of latex makes much difference.

I've been hookering for 6 years now and I've had 3 condoms break. All have been durex. I have no idea why their brand is so well thought of. The power of advertising!

I prefer Mates Ultra Thin (the blue ones). They look ugly as hell but they give great sensation and I've never had trouble with them slipping or breaking.

A client of mine used these Japanese condoms once. Ultra thin but strong and felt amazing for us both. I had to check halfway if he still had it on.

Hi 😘

I usually use Durex extra safe but I also order free condoms from here www.letstalkaboutit.nhs.uk/contraception/condoms-by-post/ (a lot thinner and very lubricated).💜
I also get them for free from the GUM clinic💜
