Condom testing reveals best brands


I received this pretty interesting Reuters link from a friend and it’s actually about how a consumer group best known for rating cars and washing machines turned its testing prowess to condoms to find out which ones measure up best.

And the results showed that the top brand, which was able to take the most punishment, was the Durex Extra Sensitive Lubricated Latex. Other top-performers include the Durex Performax Lubricated, Lifestyles Classic Collection Ultra Sensitive Lubricated and TheyFit Lubricated.

And for those Singapore guys who think that SAF-issued condoms are the worst, well, there are worse condoms around. A melon-colored model distributed by Planned Parenthood performed the worst, bursting during a test in which the latex condoms were filled with air.

And apparently, to pass the test, the condom is filled with air till you end up with a balloon of 3 feet (a metre) tall and a foot (30 cm) wide.

That is literally what you call one hell of a B-L-O-W job??
