Jack and Diane Review – Lifestyle Skyn

Posted by Jack & Diane on March 10, 2009

Little ditty…’bout Jack and Diane…and Lifestyle Skyn.

 

The condomologist’s review of any type of condom we can get our hands on begins with the Lifestyle Skyn. If you visit lifestyles.com, first thing I noticed was the fact that they are marketing this product as “Wearing Next to Nothing.”  Jack and Diane would agree with that claim 100%.  The overall experience was the best we have both had in a condom.  Let’s break it down…

 

  1. Throwing It On – 5 Points
    1. Very easy to put on.  Rolled out easily, not overly gooey from the lube.  Good immediate feeling.
    2. No strong rubber odor filling the room.
  2. During – 10 Total Points
    1. Both Jack and Diane loved the immediate insertion.  Diane even asked Jack to pull out and check to see if it was still on.
    2. The condom stayed in place the entire time and as we both got into it more, we both forgot it was on.  (Which I would assume is the highest compliment you can pay to the manufacturer.)
    3. No readjustment necessary.  No extra lube was necessary.  Diane was happy with the fact that it didn’t dry her out either.
  3. Finish – 5 Points
    1. The condom did not break, and the overall experience was awesome.  Taking it off did not hurt at all and did not leave a strong rubber smell in the room.  It did not leave a ring or red irritation around Jack’s penis either.

 

Lifestyles is pushing these product highlights:

  • New SKYN condoms provide a softer, more natural feel and have been clinically proven to enhance sensation.
  • Combines the strength of premium latex with the sensitivity of an ultra thin condom for the skyn-to skyn sensation
  • Long lasting, ultra smooth lubricated enhances the experience!
  • Each condom electronically tested to meet U.S. & Safety & Reliability standards

 

Jack & Diane agree with all these claims because we loved the experience this condom provided.  So much so that the first thing we did was google it to find the cheapest place we could buy it.  Drugstore.com has it for $8.99 and we highly recommend trying this product out.

 

 

OVERALL SCORE: 20 Points

Condomologist Update: These condoms are made of polyisoprene, which is similar to polyurethane and is non-latex, so they may work well for those with latex allergies. Also, I fear I may have lost my condom testers, now that the first product they’ve reviewed received a top score. Here’s to hoping they’re willing to try out other condoms in the future — and switch mid-sex to a Skyn when necessary.

Jack and Diane’s

Posted by Jack & Diane on March 9, 2009

Little ditty…’bout Jack and Diane.

 

Probably makes sense to introduce ourselves considering this is our first post. 

 

Few weeks back, Jonathan had a post requesting a volunteer to try out and report back performance of different condoms.  My girlfriend and I thought this would be a great excuse to have more sex, talk about it with each other and report our findings back to the world.  We are a couple of 20-something’s, who have been dating for over 4 years, and have recently started using condoms again because Diane hated the way the pill was affecting her body. 

 

Anyways, our goal here is to be 100% honest and open about the condoms we use, the experience we had, and provide some insight from the male AND female perspective.

 

In evaluating anything, there is always a scale in which to determine ‘success’ whether it be ERA, Votes, Weight, Score and so on.  We think it makes sense to do it in this case as well, so we have broken down the experience into the following categories:

 

  1. Throwing It On – Possible 5 Total Points
    1. Was it easy to put on?
    2. Did it roll out easily?
    3. Can you feel the lube?
    4. Initial thoughts?
  2. During – Possible 10 Total Points
    1. Male and Female thoughts.
    2. Is it still in place?
    3. Do you have to pull it down?
  3. Finish – Possible 5 Points
    1. Did it break?
    2. Overall experience.
    3. After you’re done.

 

Therefore, our condom evaluation scale is as follows:

 

       1 Point                           10 Points                         20 Points

Is this a trash bag?       Definitely wearing a condom,      Amazing — Isn’t

                                    but at least I’m getting laid.       Safe Sex great?

 

Coming up…banging with our first friend a.k.a. test subject the Lifestyle Skyn.
