Yep. It makes me feel better you are on-board with them. This was, of course, way before you connected with the company. BBB, it's good to hear you had that experience. Makes me confident.
The original
Phallosan condoms were very different in that they fatigued easily (the portion that encompasses the shaft, not the portion that grips the bell). This inevitably (and quickly) led to a condom that wouldn't seal up well around the shaft and thus air would leak into the vacuum chamber and the tension would recede. Guys tried to come up with all sorts of ways to reinforce the seal around the shaft, but nothing was too great. This was how all mine failed. Yeah, I'm over 6" girth, but that isn't monstrous. The fit when new was awesome, though.
Then the other issue was (and I never had this, but got the perception it was far more frequent based on bitching) that they would flat out tear. Wooo guys were pissed about that, but I suspect a good part of that was either carelessness or simple production faults. Add in some design fault, and there you go.
Now they have remodeled the condoms so they are much more durable, aren't supposed to fatigue around the shaft so quickly, and are more tear-resistant. They are expensive, but my experience with silicone sleeves as an alternative so far just makes me want to flat out shell out for the new
Phallosan condoms and be done with it. I really need an effective
ADS. I still want to get a silicone
sleeve that works well that I could wear at work, though. I'm giving thought to making my own.
