I’m Kazu, the male member who asked the question.
Thank you, everyone. My first condoms were Benetton.
Like Mac, I’m on the thicker side, so I used Super Big Boy regularly. But I felt embarrassed about the packaging and wanted something a little better, so I tried SKYN.
I did feel that it transmitted more warmth. Then one day, the woman I was seeing told me, “SKYN is unusual—everyone uses 0.01 mm,” so I decided to try Zero One.
I switched to Okamoto Zero One, which comes in an L size, and have been in a bit of a slump lately. They really are difficult to put on. Even though they’re L size, apparently they’re narrower than Big Boy, so I have trouble rolling them all the way down to the base. By the time I’m done struggling with it, I’ve gone a little soft. That’s when I noticed Maezawa’s answer and decided to post this question.
For now, I’m going to buy and try all the products mentioned in everyone’s answers except Benetton, along with a ping-pong ball. Thank you all.
Maezawa from the CEO’s Office here with an answer as well.
After reading Mac’s answer, I think I understand why the 0.01 doesn’t have such a great reputation.
It’s because there’s no L size.
Since 0.01 and 0.02 aren’t made of rubber, they don’t stretch very much. So even someone who would be fine with a standard size if it were rubber may find the 0.01 or 0.02, made from a different material, a bit too tight.
Because they don’t stretch much, using the right size may be especially important. When you look at it that way, whether an L size is available really matters.
Also, it says:
“Sagami Original’s individual packaging comes in easy-to-open blister packs. The product is securely protected, so there’s no need to worry about damaging it when opening the package. It’s also clean and hygienic, and comes with plenty of lubricating oil.”
That also seems like a pretty strong selling point.（笑）
I’m Paper Airplane, a male member who just saw spinach for 158 yen at the supermarket and thought, “Wow!”—so I ended up buying two bunches without thinking.
The ones I regularly use are ZONE and Okamoto 0.01 with plenty of lubricant, and I honestly can’t say which is better—they’re both great. I also keep Sagami on hand, but I have mixed memories of it, so it’s still sitting unused.
These are the two I’m using at the moment.
