Let’s be honest.

Most condoms were designed with one thing in mind: male pleasure. And for far too long, women have just… adapted.

We’ve made it work. We’ve tolerated discomfort. We’ve convinced ourselves that "protection" has to come at the cost of enjoyment.

But what if that wasn’t true?

What if we stopped settling?

If you've ever felt disconnected, numb, or underwhelmed during sex - even when everything else was right - you're not alone. And you're not being “too sensitive” or “hard to please.” You're just using products that weren’t made with you in mind.

It’s time that changed.

Here’s a breakdown of condoms and enhancements that actually prioritise female pleasure, because you deserve nothing less.

Start with sensation: ultra-thin, ultra-feel

For many women, pleasure starts with feeling. The closeness. The heat. The rhythm.

But when a condom feels like a barrier (thick, plasticky, clinical) it can shut all that down in seconds.

That’s why ultra-thin condoms matter. Look for:

  • Latex or polyisoprene options (polyisoprene is great for latex sensitivities)
  • Ribbing, dots or studs to heighten internal and external stimulation
  • Lubricants that are actually designed for the female body

What to try (and why): our picks

Feeling Natural – Durex Mutual Climax

These condoms live up to their name.

Ultra-thin. Ribbed for extra sensation — not just for him, but for her too. And they come in a variety of shapes and sizes, which means no uncomfortable pinching or slipping.

They’re reliable, protective, and actually feel good.


Best Pleasure – EXS Ribbed & Dotted

This one’s a game changer.

Textured, with raised dots and wave-like ridges, these condoms were made to amplify your experience, not mute it!

They're also pre-lubricated with a silicone-based lube that promotes easy sliding (sometimes your body needs a little help, and there’s no shame in that).

Latex-Free – SKYN Original

All the sensation, none of the irritation.

Made from polyisoprene, SKYN condoms are softer, stretchier, and more body-friendly than standard latex.

They’re also ultra-thin, textured, and lightly lubricated for increased pleasure.

Perfect if latex causes itching, discomfort or just... kills the mood.

Ultra-Thin – Lifestyles SKYN Elite

Think: feather-light protection.

These are among the thinnest condoms you’ll find, made to let you feel everything.

With ribs for added stimulation and a lubricant designed to work with your natural responses, SKYN Elite is a go-to if you want intimacy without compromise.

Designed for her – So Sexy Female Condoms

Let’s flip the script.

These are female condoms.

Worn internally, they give you more control and more sensation. The inner ring adds stimulation, and they’re hypoallergenic and spermicide-free.

Not every woman loves the feel at first — but when it works, it really works.

Power, comfort, and pleasure? Yes, please.

Extra stimulation: textured, ribbed, or dotted

Here’s the truth: how women orgasm is different.

That’s not a flaw — it’s a feature.

Textured condoms — with ribs, dots, or raised patterns — can be incredible for enhancing clitoral and vaginal stimulation. The clitoris has more than 10,000 nerve endings which all get stimulation so the more you are enhancing these little guys the better! They’re also especially helpful if you find it hard to climax from penetration alone.

Most textured condoms are:

  • Ultra-thin for sensitivity
  • Pre-lubricated for comfort
  • Designed with both partners in mind

Other ways to enhance women’s sexual pleasure

Condoms are just the beginning.

If you want to turn up the volume on your pleasure, try adding:

These extras don’t replace your connection. They deepen it — making sex more exploratory, more playful, more intense.

You both deserve more than “good enough”

Sex should be safe.

But it should also be fun, connected, and pleasurable — for both of you.

You don’t need to settle for condoms that numb you, irritate you, or leave you feeling underwhelmed.

There’s a better fit out there. A better feel. A better way to enjoy your body.

Explore the options. Try something new.

Start saying yes to your own pleasure!
