It offers no way to tear from the edge as a square condom package does, so some testers worried that they might accidentally rip the condom while tearing from the center edge of the package though this never seemed to happen in practice. Several testers expressed that they would prefer to buy this model were a non-latex version available, either because of allergies or personal preference.

Some lubricants though not any of the ones on the condoms that we tested also contain flavoring, heating, or cooling agents. Some condoms are unlubricated, in which case they are generally covered in a light coat of cornstarch and preservatives.

In our technical tests, we experienced some issues with the Kimono MicroThin rolling and bunching up during application.
The Beyond Seven worked great for some average-size testers but felt too tight for others. This condom received the highest overall satisfaction score 4.

The Unique Pull is best for people with thicker penises, as it is not very elastic and it stays put by clinging to the penis like plastic wrap; it also has a texture that is much thinner and more plasticky than latex. Unlike with traditional latex condoms, its application involves pull tabs, and it comes in a pack of three in a nifty credit-card—shaped case.
