Best of the Best in Condoms

Condoms are an inexpensive form of birth control readily available on the market. When used correctly, condoms are 98 percent effective in the prevention of pregnancy. In the area of STD and aids prevention, condoms achieve a higher standard of protection levels than choosing to not use a condom. Unlike other forms of birth control, the learning curve is low. All that is needed is an understanding of proper placement and use of condoms. Keeping in line with that, there are several top condom manufactures that offer wide product lines to suit virtually all users.

To start with, there is the Kimono condom manufacturer. The Japanese culture has kept a steady eye on the birth control issue. As such, the Kimono brand condom has earned a reputation as the best of the best in terms of sensitivity, strength and performance. Their top selling condom line is the Microthin line. This condom is 38 per cent thinner than other condoms on the market. This enhances performance and feel for both sexual partners. All Kimono condoms consistently exceed the FDA and ISO latex condom standards.

The American equivalent to the Kimono condom would be the Trojan manufacturers. Created by Church and Dwight Co., this condom company holds the title of “America’s Most Trusted Condom”. Standing behind each Trojan condom is over 80 years of trusted product history. These condoms are crafted from top quality latex materials and offered in over 25 different styles to suite customer needs. Some of the most popular Trojan brands are Trojan Magnum; Trojan Extended Pleasure; and Trojan Her Pleasure. Each condom is clinically tested to ensure durability and reliability in preventing STD and pregnancy.

Another industry leader is Durex condoms. This manufacturer has been turning out quality condoms since 1929. Its name, Durex, is short for Durability, Reliability and Excellence. This condom manufacturer makes the best of the best list because of continual dedication to research and development in providing condoms that are effective and efficient in aids and pregnancy prevention. Selling to markets on an international level in over 140 countries has earned Durex the status of the only global condom maker on the market. There are over 16 brands of condoms on the Durex product line. The most popular ones are extra sensitive, extra strength, flavored and regular condoms.

For individuals with a latex allergy, Trojan and Durex both offer a polyurethane condom option. The Trojan Supra was the first ever polyurethane condom to hit the market. At the time, this condom contained a spermicidal lubricant, which has now been removed. This did not dampen the effects of the condom. It is an ultra strong, sensitive condom that transmits body heat. This aids in pleasuring both sexual partners.

The Durex Avanti, a lubricated polyurethane condom. The polyurethane material is again body heat activated and stronger than its latex counterpart. Going one step further, Durex created this condom with a non porous material that can not be penetrated by sexually transmitted viruses, including HIV.

Not to be left out of the market, a trademarked named Reality female condom is available. It offers a higher level of protection than a male condom due to the majority of the condom remaining on the outside of the vagina during sexual activity. This lessens the chance of bodily fluids passing between partners.
