The BEST Condom Brands According To College Students

In This Article:

Love them or hate them, you have to admit condoms are the most affordable and easily assessable forms of birth control, especially among college students.

You are always just one drug store trip and five dollars away from safe sex, and with condoms being one of the only forms to protect you from sexually transmitted diseases, there is a case to say they are the way to go.

Just like everything in 2018, everyone has opinions on everything so I asked college students about their preferences on condom brands and this is what they said.

Trojan

"Trojan, I love the different options they offer!" - Female, 22

"Trojan bare skin, trust me." - Male, 19

"None, but when my fiance and I did use them we used trojan, we tried other brands and they would always break! But the trojan ones would stay put!" - Female, 20

"I SWEAR by Trojan bare skin. I've tried ONE, other Trojan styles, a whole bunch. Trojan bare skin is the only one that's felt the best for myself and the guy. They're lubricated super nicely (obviously as every condom, if it's going for some time and what not, it dries out, so you get another one or use a lubricant." - Female, 22

Lifestyles

"Lifestyles are my go to because they're usually cheaper than Trojans and I have never had an 'uh oh'" - Female, 18

"When I use condoms, I use Lifestyles in the THYN type since it feels the closest." - Male, 22

'Lifestyles, you can get a pack for 30 at Walmart for 8 bucks!" Male, 20

"Not a fan of them (I have an implant for birth control) but when I do I like Lifestyles I have no idea why haha I think they feel smoother I guess" -Female, 20

SKYN

"Skyn is part of lifestyle right? I like those, mostly because of the packaging." - Male, 19

"My Fiancé and I use Skyn as I have a latex allergy. So far the are the closest thing to not wearing a condom" - Female, 19

"SKYN. Why? Because I already have 2 tiny humans. Jk. They feel the best. " Female, 23

"I like the Skyn brand that's non latex because of my latex allergy. The Trojan non latex ripped a lot last time." - Female, 22

"My favorite is the skyn brand. They're not latex, they feel the most natural (to me at least), and I've never had an issue with them tearing or anything else" - Female, 24


ONE

"ONE! We used to use Trojan but they broke all the time and my school gives out ONE for free so I grabbed a few and we haven't looked back! They're very comfortable, have never broken, and have a lot of fun styles. We really enjoyed the glow in the dark ones" - Male, 20

" I like "ONE" they have a lot of variety's and never had them tear." - Female, 18

"One because they're funny and have unique textured ones, and they're cheaper" - Male, 18

"ONE because I love the designs and they're so easy to hide in my purse or card holder. I would have never picked them up though if my RA didn't hand them out though." - Female, 20


Anything Vegan

"The chemicals in every brand I've tried have ruined me, there are "vegan" condoms that don't have chemicals tho" -Female, 19

"Sustain Condoms. They are vegan, all natural, fair trade, cruelty free, and you can buy online. Lol they also have a subscription that you can take part in!" - Female, 20

But what sums it up best

"Each vagina is different so you may have to test a few!" -Female, 23

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
