The value was great on these prophylactics, only I want to be clear that even though it is currently winter, I received said prophylactics in their original foil (unboxed) stuffed into a regular bubble-padded envelope.
Interestingly, where I am it gets hotter than **** in the summers and even the winters are just mild and when I removed the prophylactics from the packaging they were, in fact slightly warm to the touch after sitting in the mailbox in the afternoon.
This issue would make me very wary of ordering in the summer as persistent high heat certainly can damage latex and I would be keen to know what the seller plans to do to ensure safety on this matter, particularly during the summers.
As far as the quality of the prophylactics themselves, Durex is a well-known brand and electronically tests all its condoms to ensure safety. Aside from some of the other Durex condoms that I've found far too snug for comfort, these ones actually are a comfy fit and include a small amount of desensitizing gel on the tip of the condom.
Thankfully, it is just enough and not too much to take away from the experience and it completely beats the messiness, too much/too little and time issues of using a separate desensitizing application gel/spray.
Personally, I don't think one can use these as a regular staple (due to the desensitizing effect) but when one has ENOUGH time to spare, they make for a great game-changer every now and then!
