What is Your Preferred Type of Condom?

Did a search on this but nothing came up, so if there is an earlier thread don't swear at me 
Question's in the title really. I fancy trying the Durex Tingle ones, but still have quite a few ribbed/normal/Mates Xtra Pleasure ones to get through.
Second question, once you find a condom you like, do you keep trying others and switching around? or do you stick with it?

I agree. There were flavors in the variety too. We threw the banana ones away. And you've really gotta be comfortable coming at somebody with a purple dick
The best ones I've found are the Condomi ones.
no need for them now the gf's on the pill
But seriously, I didnt like the plasticy feel and the 'constrictness' around the the base, like its a supertight elastic band. Really put me off, but on the other hand, the girlfriend loved it because I could last a lot longer. Strange, really. It hurt when I came though.
Never actually used any others. Will have to experiment one day.
btw, the ones from thesite were those mtv ones - http://www.14-condoms.co.uk/mtv-condomi-condoms/
Eh the blue packaged durex one's...don't study them or nothing
Mates = the "natural" ones were good for a while, but now its just the "large" ones....i wish it was a case of ego, but i have this odd habit of wanting to enjoy having sex as opposed to amputating my cock with a uber-tight condom.
When we first started sleeping together my boyfriend used durex extra safe, but I have a feeling he did not like them, so he has switched to the featherlite ones. Personally I have not really noticed any differance apart from the featherlite ones are clear in colour, whereas the extra safe where a wired pink/peachy coulour, anyway it just made him look a bit strange.
Glow in the dark ones have reduced safety you know...
There's always one who has to use the condom thread to slip in a passing comment about how huge they are, isn't there? :rolleyes:
Oh girl, you have not seen mine! I make horses that use viagra jelous ;(
Well I don't want to boast, but
*whispers* I make elephants jealous!
ribbed make no difference to me
and as soon as you take a condom out everything jsut gets dry when you put it back in. i dunno. going on the pill soon so won't have to worry about the things for much longer.
You've got a great memory, right?
yeh, the increase in sensitivity when I stopped wearing them was very very nice
He really likes the orange packaged durex ones as well.
We flit between a few to keep the interest up!
I keep hearing "its much better without for the guy", but I'm not sure if I believe it.
I'm deliberately ignoring the hassle of making sure you have one, getting it on, off and disposing of it - all of which can be irritating. I also prefer the intimacy of not using them, but on the issue of how it feels I remain unconvinced. Perhaps because, IRL, I hear it most often from young women, and I distrust the motives of the young men who tell them - going bare back seems to be just anouther boasting point. Itisn't a sentiment that I here from my gay friends - but that could be because (while common?) talking aout sex without is pretty much taboo.
Also, my personal experience suggests there's not much to it. (and this is the point that gentle folk should look away)
On the receptive end, I much prefer to give oral without, and very mildly prefer the other without. Active, Hand-jobs are about as pleasurale, but I've never been rubbed raw with a condom - which swings things in their favour; I slightly prefer oral with a condom - while I perhaps loose a little sensation this is more than compesated by the lack of pain when you catch the edge of a molar. I've never managed to get more than a single finger into my long term partner, so I can't comment on how that compares.
