They really make lube (its not great), I'd assume they sell it in that size because it has some kind of secondary use. I know astroglide can be used in some sort of machining but unsure about water based

It's recommended by PP.
​
>Itβs easy to use lube with condoms β just rub lube on the outside of the condom after you put it on. You can also add a few drops of lube inside the tip of the condom or on the penis before you roll the condom on. And you can put lube directly on a vulva and/or anus too. Thereβs no right or wrong amount β whatever feels good works.

Anecdotally, I've never had a condom just 'slip off' of a fully erect penis in 13 years of sex work. Breaks happen, and slippage can come when the blood leaves the party but an erect penis? Nah.

Skyn is excellent. Now that they have a 'big guy' size, I'm thrilled to be able to use them on everyone. For traditional latex I like Lifestyles Kyng (big), Kimono XL (normal), Crown Skinless Skin (normal to snug) and regular Kimono (snug)

ribs/bumps are meant to simulate the feeling of the natural foreskin
thinner condoms are meant to transmit heat
always put lube inside of the condom for the wearer's benefit!
