The Best Condoms

Here's the thing about finding the best condoms: it depends entirely on what you're trying to get out of it. The best condom for feeling like you're wearing nothing is a completely different animal than the best condom for a bigger guy, or the best one for lasting longer, or the best one that won't set off her latex allergy.

We've been selling condoms since 1991 — longer than almost anyone in this business — and we've tested, tried, and taken detailed notes on thousands of them. Below is our no-BS breakdown of the best condoms for every situation. Jump to your category, grab what you need, and get back to the good stuff.

Best Condoms for Feeling (Maximum Sensation)

If your top priority is feeling as much as possible, you want the thinnest barrier with the best heat transfer. These three are the best at that — and they're all ultra-thin condoms tested to the same safety standard as any other condom on the market.

1. Kimono MicroThin Plus Aqua Lube — Our Top Pick

Thickness: 0.049mm | Material: Latex | Lube: Premium Aqua Lube

Kimono is the most underrated condom brand in America, and the MicroThin Plus is their best. At 0.049mm, it's one of the thinnest latex condoms you can buy — but what sets it apart is the Aqua Lube. Most condoms use standard silicone-based lube that feels clinical. Kimono's Aqua Lube is silkier, lasts longer, and makes the whole experience feel a lot more natural. Kimono also tests every condom 5x (the industry standard is 3x).

2. Crown Skinless Skin — The Cult Classic

Thickness: ~0.05mm | Material: Latex | Lube: Silicone-based

Crown Skinless Skin has a cult following among condom obsessives, and for good reason. It's been around for decades and it still holds up. The name is a bit much, but the sensation is genuinely remarkable — extremely soft, nearly invisible, and the fit is just slightly roomier than a standard condom in a way that increases sensitivity rather than reducing it.

3. Trojan Magnum BareSkin — Premium Thin Feel

Thickness: ~0.05mm | Material: Latex | Lube: Silicone-based

Trojan Magnum BareSkin delivers an ultra-thin experience in one of America's most trusted condom lines. Noticeably softer than standard Trojans — much more heat-transferring, and it doesn't have that rubbery smell that cheaper latex can carry.

Best Condoms for Her Pleasure

These condoms increase stimulation for the receiving partner — through ribs, studs, or both. The key is using enough water-based lube so the texture works with friction instead of against it. Go slow.

Style: Ribbed | Material: Latex

America's best-selling textured condom. The ribs are pronounced enough to actually feel — they create consistent back-and-forth stimulation during slower, more deliberate thrusting.

FAQs

What is the best condom overall?

There’s no single “best” condom for everyone. The right condom depends on what matters most to you—maximum sensation, a better fit, extra stimulation for your partner, non-latex materials, or lasting longer. The good news? There’s a perfect condom for every preference. Try one of our variety packs to see what works for you. 

Which condom feels the most like wearing nothing?

Ultra-thin condoms are your best bet. Favorites like Kimono MicroThin Plus Aqua Lube, Crown Skinless Skin, and Trojan Magnum BareSkin use thinner materials that allow more heat transfer and sensation while still providing the same level of protection as standard condoms.

Are non-latex condoms better than latex condoms?

Not necessarily better—just different. Many people find that non-latex condoms transfer body heat more naturally and feel softer than latex. They're also essential for anyone with a latex allergy or sensitivity. SKYN Elite and Durex Avanti Bare Real-Feel are two of the most popular options.

What’s the best condom for lasting longer?

Condoms with climax-control features can help delay orgasm. Durex Prolong is a popular choice because it combines a desensitizing lubricant on the inside with stimulating ribs and dots on the outside, helping both partners enjoy the experience.
