This article by Rachel Swan is very informative in lots of ways about the condom market in general and Mayer Condoms specifically.
Here's an interesting one:
"We went and tested several boxes of their product. They had this interesting language that claimed they were the thinnest condom in the world ... based on what they called the mass method of measurement." According to Mayer, this measurement standard is seldom used by manufacturers. "What it is, you take your weight of your condom, divide it by your length of your condom, divide it by some other things, and it comes out with a calculated thickness."
I assume this is the same way you might inventory a stack of plastic bags. But using it to actually measure the thickness of a product seems pretty prone to errors. No wonder Mayer is dubious.
Here's the commercial mentioned at the top of the article.
Here's another interesting quote:
Some of Kimono's competitors make the same argument. "The thinner the condoms are, logically the more likely they are to break," said Brian Osterberg, president of condom-maker Intellx, whose said his company's shaped contraceptives represent "a new milestone" in condom-making. "There's two trains of thought here: Super-thin so that you feel through the latex, or a normal condom with oversized shapes that creates the ridges and folds, and that's what creates the friction. We turned upside down the idea that a superthin condom is the best."
Brian focuses on an alternate theory as to how to make a condom effective for sensual use. At Condomania we tell our customers there are two basic theories to achieving sensitivity with condoms: thinner latex or less constriction. Brian's firm sells a condom, the Inspiral, which exemplifies the latter tactic at enhancing the pleasure of using a condom. The head or top on the Inspiral condom is pretty roomy and makes for a perfect example of giving the glands as much free room as possible.
Now I think that Brian is being a little self serving by saying that thin condoms = breakage. That is quite simply nonsense. Technology allows for all sorts of things, such as airplanes which fly through the air, so it's not logical in that sense to say that thin condoms will break. But Brian is absolutely correct that folds and ridges can greatly enhance the condom experience. Some like the folds and ridges and some like the thinnest latex possible. I for one really appreciate a finely made thin condom such as the Kimono MicroThin but to each his own (although to be honest the Kimono MicroThin is too small for me).
My boyfriend and I have tried loads of different "microthin" condoms but none of them ever really seem to be what he's looking for. I definitely agree the roomier the better. ONE Condoms makes a great one, the pleasure dome.

It's really a good posting. I like it. It's pretty much impressive to me. i think others will agree with me.
Good Luck. ;)

When it comes to my condom use, I really concern myself not only with function, but with the "thrill of the ride", to borrow shameslessly from a recent auto ad campaign.
I like the ONE Super Senitive condoms, for the level of thinness and sensitivity I look for in a condom. They're made right here in the U.S.A., so thay can be cheaper to buy than the imports.
You can find out more about ONE's here:

Now days is very hard to find good and useful information about this kind of things, all what you find in the web is porn or trash. So very good work. Thanks

There is no exact definition of the word happiness. Happy people are happy for all sorts of reasons. The key is not wealth or physical well-being, since we find beggars, invalids and so-called failures, who are extremely happy.

Many have tried and failed to stimulate isomeric isotopes into emitting high energy photons enough to serve as a gain medium and produce a coherent gamma ray beam that might serve as a laser for purposes civil and military. Princeton's Richard Wheeler surfaced the idea of matter-antimatter annihilation in positronium serving this purpose decades ago, but only now have electron-positron molecules been observed to condense into quantum states of technological use in applications as diverse as space propulsion and medicine.
Spin exchange quenching of molecular species containing antimatter may lead to stable Bose-Einstein condensates of materials like Dipositronium, making possible stored energy densities vastly higher than today's, and coherent emission at wavelengths short enough to image -- and 'optically' pump-- nuclear quantum states, yielding advances comparable to those stemming from the discovery of x-rays or nuclear magnetic resonance

Lying disguises our mortality, our inadequacies, our fears and anxieties, our loneliness in the midst of the crowd. We yearn for the comfort of familiar lies to create a more amenable reality.What do you think?

love, love, love these clothes, thanks for sharing. Zorba looks great in her outfit, especially love the pants. Her catalog is great, and can't wait to see her spring line.
We have to get our Canton trip planned soon:)
You must have read my mind: where did she get those very cool pants? So now, Miss Enabler, I have made it onto their website and gotten on their catalog list. Thanks.

The only difference between these two condoms is the type of lubrication. We claim "America's Thinnest Latex Condoms" based on our actual testing of Kimono MicroThin condoms and major competitors’ thinnest condoms. We do not rely on other company’s claims or what other websites state.

If I am not wrong, if it is thinner that means that it can't help you to avoid STDs
