Group Tests Condoms for Durability

The consumers group that publishes Consumer Reports magazine reported in January having examined 23 kinds of latex condoms and concluded that the seven top types of condoms did not burst despite vigorous testing. All models tested also met international standards. The highest-rated models were Durex Extra Sensitive lubricated, Durex Performax lubricated, LifeStyles Classic Collection Ultrasensitive lubricated, TheyFit lubricated, Trojan Extended Pleasure Climax Control lubricated, Trojan nonlubricated, and Trojan Ultra Pleasure with spermicidal lubricant. Condoms scoring the lowest in safety ratings were Planned Parenthood's assorted colors and honeydew models.
