Testers reported that the Skyn’s material transmitted heat and sensation so well that the result felt like sex without a condom. Our testers who fell in between the slim and average-size categories liked the sensitivity of the sheer latex, the lack of odor, and the quality of the lubricant on this condom in comparison with other models. The Skyn’s material is thicker at its base, which may cause the condom to feel a bit more voluminous toward the head: “Awkward shape made pinching the reservoir tip slightly odd,” noted one of our testers, “but once I adjusted for the shape, all was well.

This condom is so slim, it felt too tight for some of our testers, even those with slimmer penises: “The condom’s fit was so tight it actually constricted penile blood flow. 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.
