Shopping for condoms is filled with way too many trade-offs. You can either have protection or thinness, but not both. A super thin condom is going to break 9 times out of 10. Then, you have to dodge the internalized shame that triggers checkout shame (a.k.a. feeling weird about buying condoms in public). If you have sensitive skin down there, your trip can feel even more anxiety-inducing because you know the risk of buying the wrong condom is itching your vag or balls for the next few days. You’re practically fucked—and not in the good way.Trojan has a rather extensive line of products, from the iconic Bare ultra-thins to Her Pleasure. But according to the brand’s naming of this variety, the Trojan G.O.A.T.’s are the best in their lineup. So obviously, we had to put it to the test. (opens in a new window)TrojanTrojan G.O.A.T. Latex-Free Lubricated Condoms(opens in a new window)Available at AmazonBuy Now(opens in a new window)Read my ultimate list of the best condoms for people who hate condoms.Trojan G.O.A.T. CONDOMS: product overviewTrojan’s G.O.A.T. condoms aim for something condom brands have been chasing for decades: make you forget you’re wearing one in the first place. Trojan G.O.A.T. BenefitsThey’re designed to feel softer, more flexible, and more natural than traditional options.They’re odorless and colorless. You won’t get that unmistakable “rubber” smell that can totally kill the mood. They’re lubricated with a silky silicone lube to help reduce friction and boost comfort.They give you STI and pregnancy protection.Another reason G.O.A.T. stands out is that they’re a great option for people with latex allergies or skin sensitivities. More and more people are gravitating toward non-latex condoms simply because they prefer the sensation, too. Basically, if you’ve ever complained that condoms dull the vibe, these make a compelling argument that safer sex doesn’t have to come at the expense of pleasure. And while these are a little pricier than your standard box of rubbers, for people who prioritize comfort and sensitivity, they may be worth the upgrade.How I Tested Trojan G.O.A.T. CONDOMSFor this experiment, I tested these with a lover using a strict (but fun) regimen. We fucked twice that day and used Trojan G.O.A.T. both times. This allows me to see the long-term effects of using this condom. Am I itchy down there afterward? Is my skin red and irritated? Am I irritated because I feel uncomfortable? Control the variables, if you will. Sex looks different for everyone. For us, sex includes a lot of good head, P-in-V, and a spanking sesh. Typically, an hour each time from putting the condom on to taking it off. This time the condom was on before any true foreplay because, well, I got naked, and we got right to it. So Does THE TROJAN G.O.A.T. Condom Actually Feel Different? My Honest TakeThe thinness is up there with Trojan BareSkin Ultra-Thin condoms. If you ask my favorite eater, they’re better than the Bare’s. Great price for a 10 pack, too. It doesn’t break or slip off. If you tend to like more lube, bring some because this doesn’t have a lot.This was our first time trying these, so I was a bit confused when I was supposed to be getting fucked but my partner was having a pause to take in how good the condom felt for him. I’m like, there’s no way a condom is that fucking amazing, bro, relax. I thought they were great but apparently for him, they were truly GOAT’d. The most notable feedback aside from the “barely there” feel was that he could feel every inch of me. Specifically, texture. For me? It was fabulous. I prefer these over the SKYN Original Condoms that are often compared to raw sex. Don’t get me wrong, I still like them, but the addition of fragrance threw me. Trojan’s G.O.A.T’s have no fragrance, latex, and feel like nothing. OMG!We used the same condom the entire time, without any instances of breakage or slippage. Though Trojan G.O.A.T. condoms come lubricated, we did apply extra lube (the Dame’s plant-based Aloe lube, to be specific), though. He’s about 8 inches, and it fits him just right. It wasn’t choking his dick, and it wasn’t sliding off either, so overall, great fit. Given that we used a lot of lube, this is rather impressive.Is the Trojan G.O.A.T. Condom Worth It?Trojan G.O.A.T.’s are best for couples where pleasure for both is the priority. Definitely worth the cop for folks with sensitive genitals and people with bigger dicks. The price is great in comparison to other 10 packs on the market. In comparison to the Trojan BareSkin’s, I prefer these. They’re suuuuuper thin, and as my lover said, you feel a whole lot more. These have just replaced my last go-to condom brand (won’t name any names) for reliable protection that doesn’t make me itch after sex. Also, the G.O.A.T. claim is well-earned. From my research, this is the only Trojan condom that uses polymerized styrene isoprene copolymer. It’s strong, yet very flexible, and doesn’t break. The only thing that would make this better would be more lube to the package. These were compared against Trojan’s Bare Condoms, SKYN Originals, JEMS’ ultra-thin condoms that are made with natural latex and no toxic additives (i.e. parabens, fragrance, spermicides, etc). THESE ARE TRULY GOAT’dHe definitely enjoys the fun game of grabbing things off the shelf to fuck me with, but this time was different. He kneeled over me on the bed and just stopped. He was supposed to be fucking me, so this was rather confusing. “It feels like… nothing,” he said with his eyes widened. I’m like, there’s no way a condom is that fucking amazing, bro, relax. And to this moment, I still feel the same way. But for him? This was truly GOAT’d. The most notable feedback aside from the “barely there” feel was that he could feel every inch of me. Specifically, texture. For me? It was fabulous. Although I was teasing him, I immediately understood his excitement when he slipped the tip in. I prefer these over the SKYN Original Condoms that are often compared to raw sex. Don’t get me wrong, I still like them… but the addition of fragrance threw me. Trojan’s G.O.A.T’s have no fragrance, latex, and feel like nothing omg. We did not have a single breakage or a condom begin to slip off. We did apply lube (Dame’s plant-based Aloe lube), though. He’s about 8 inches, and it fits him just right. It wasn’t choking his dick, and it wasn’t sliding off either, so overall, great fit for big dicks. (opens in a new window)TrojanTrojan G.O.A.T.
