Thin, super snug fit, and does it’s job of keeping me child and disease free. 10/10

Just to preface, I wasn’t super thorough about all of this.I just so happen to have a batch of Crown condoms from years ago. I ordered them from Condom Depot on October 5, 2010. They expired June 2015, and are from batch number T170. December 14, 2015, I ordered the same condom from Amazon. They expire October 2019, and are from batch number T4Y4. I have no guarantee that the old batch was produced in Japan, but there is a slight chance. Condom Depot wrote an article (“Crown Condoms Thailand & Japan What’s The Deal?”) regarding the differences between manufacturing locations, dated March 11, 2009. In that article, they claimed to have bought 400,000 condoms from Japan before the transition was made. Now I would think there is a chance that I received some from Japan, but do keep in mind that it has been their best selling condom for 15 years in a row. So do you think they sold 400,000 condoms in more than 19 months? The odds probably fall in that direction. Anyway, let’s see if this unnecessarily thorough review helps anyone!Sensation: The older batch seems to have a slight better sensation to it, but they’re both so similar that it is extremely difficult to tell.Thickness: Placing the two, still rolled, side by side, the older batch seems to be ever so slightly thinner. This goes against the article from Condom Depot, as they state those manufactured in Japan are 0.005mm thicker than those made in Thailand. Curious about this, I tried measuring two others that were still in their packaging. Keep in mind that I have a crappy $15 digital caliper, but the old batch came to 3.31mm, and the new batch 3.46mm. I tried not to squish them, so I based my measurements off of how much drag I felt when removing the caliper after measuring. Still, this is such a small variance that I doubt that I measured it correctly, and I doubt that my caliper is truly that accurate. This would make me think that both the old and new batch were produced in Thailand, but it’s still hard to say since they’re stated to be quite similar.Dimensions / Fit: Old and new, both fit me perfectly. Laying them next to each other, they look identical in length and width. Condom Depot’s article says that those manufactured in Thailand are 0.5mm smaller width, and 5mm shorter.Smell: The newer batch definitely smells like latex. The older batch had a more neutral smell, slightly of latex, and, don’t laugh, but maybe a slight hint of coffee? Still not as strong a smell as other brands.Color: Same shade of pink. When it’s on me, you can hardly tell it’s there.Packaging: The wrapper on the newer batch is a slightly darker blue. Otherwise they seem identical.Other: The older batch seemed to be slightly hydrophobic. Maybe this is why they seemed to have a better sensation despite being thicker?Anyway, still my favorite.

These are amazing. Super thin but very, very durable. If a guy says that he’ll rip them, it’s BS. I put one of these on my hand and pulled it up to my elbow with no ripping. I have bought 3 or 4 of these 50 packs at this point, and I don’t think I’ll find a better brand. 10/10 would buy again. Probably gonna have to order them again soon, lol.

Good feel

That’s why I bought them, to cover toys. Durable for my use but I have no idea how they hold up in intercourse.
