There are a variety of condom brands available in the market that offer different features to suit each individual’s preferences. But do you know which is the best brand of condom in Mexico?
To answer that question, the federal consumer protection agency (Professional) conducted a study with the 25 most popular condom brands. During this study, 7 different tests were conducted in which the quality of the product, the packaging and the information they provided were evaluated. In addition to their resistance, expiration date and the materials from which they are made.
Similarly, condoms of each brand were measured and their thickness was evaluated, which should not be more or less than 2 millimeters. Furthermore, they carried out a visual inspection in which they checked that they did not have any cracks, holes or dirt.
Regarding colored condoms, a test was conducted in which it was verified that the pigments did not leach from the walls.
One of the main objectives of these tests is to evaluate how safe the condoms of these brands are, in addition to evaluating the quality-price ratio.
What is the best brand of condom?
After all these tests, Profeco concluded what is the best brand of condom in Mexico or rather the best brand.
The brands that we will mention below received excellent ratings in the tests to which they were subjected and are:
classic conscience

extra strong trojan
Although Profeco recommends condoms with this name, no results appear on pharmacies and Trojan’s own site. On the contrary, the most popular of this brand are Trojan Ecstasy Textured, Trojan Pro-Tech Seguridad and Trojan Fire & Ice.
These condoms are also made of latex and all three types have different specifications regarding smoothness and shape. However, all three agree on providing a pleasant sensation.
