The History of Playboy Condoms
As far as sexual icons go, there are few symbols more recognizable than the bunny ears that have long been the trademark of Playboy.
What started out as a magazine created by Hugh Hefner has now become a global empire, with those bunny ears showing up on a wide variety of different products, from shot glasses to car seat covers.
Since Playboy are considered a major player in the global sexual revolution, it really shouldn’t come as a surprise to learn that many of their branded products are meant for use in the bedroom, or wherever you like to have some fun with your partner.

Most people are now a whole lot more serious about being safe when they have sex, which is why the
demand for condoms is on the rise.
Following this growing need Playboy Condoms brand was born, with the first batch coming off the production line back in 2010. A lot of people might ask “what took Playboy so long to make condoms”?
Well they needed to come up with a quality and consistency that could be associated with the brand. In fact, the new state of the art factory was years in the making.
By the time 2015 rolled around, it was possible to find Playboy condoms on the shelves of pharmacies and stores in no less than 127 different countries. That’s an incredible achievement in such a short time and is a testament to just how powerful that bunny ears logo really is.
Materials & Certification
Playboy condoms are made from a premium natural latex sourced in Thailand, which is odorless and flavorless. They are manufactured in the Thai Nippon Rubber Industry facility and exceed all international quality standards.
Each condom is 100% electronically tested and carries an ISO 10993 mark which guarantees bio-compatibility. All Playboy condoms are lubricated with a premium quality silicone lubricant.
Selection & Playboy Condoms Sizes
As it stands right now, there are 4 7 different varieties of Playboy condoms on the market, giving you the opportunity to spice things up a little.
Rumor has it by end 2018 they will have 7 new styles launched in USA. I asked for details but its confidential as it stands.
Update: Playboy condoms launched 3 new condoms and I’ve updated the list below.
Classic Playboy Condoms
The Classic Playboy Condoms are the regular model that comes with a nice blend of quality latex and lubrication.
Regular sized, straight shape, and a reservoir tip.
Width: 54mm

Studded Pleasure
If you are looking for something a little more exotic, you may prefer the Studded Pleasure condoms. The latex in this product comes with ribs and dots along the shaft to provide your partner with some real pleasure, and they also have a superior silicone lubrication.
Note that these condoms are slightly narrower than others in their selection. The size still falls within the dimensions of regular sized condoms but will feel slightly tighter in comparison to others.
Width: 52mm
Walmart.com
Ultra-thin
The Ultra-Thin Playboy condoms are self-explanatory and are perfect for men who complain about a lack of sensation when using a rubber.
Width: 54mm
Walmart.com
Playboy Long Play (New)
With added climax-delay lubricant these condoms will be perfect for those that want to last a bit longer.
Other that they have a classic straight shape, a reservoir tip and a regular size.
Width: 53mm
Luckybloke.com
PLAYBOY Pleasure Seeker (New)
These condoms are ribbed and have a flared shape which means there is some extra headroom.
The shaft of the condom is ribbed and they feature a light mint scent. They are described as extra safe so I imagine they are also a bit thicker than other condoms on the list.
Width: 53mm
Luckybloke.com
Extra Large Condom
Some guys are built a little bigger than most, and they will certainly be more comfortable in the Playboy Extra Large condoms.
Width: 56mm
Luckybloke.com
Walmart.com
PLAYBOY Well Hung (New)
With a width of 60mm these condom should be perfect for those with penis girth bigger than 5.6 inches.
Width: 60mm
Luckybloke.com
As much as we’d like to see few more options (eg. a snugger fit version), these four seven will satisfy majority of consumers. Having a couple of their regular sized condoms in your bedside drawer may be your best approach if you have an averagely sized circumference.
For those with a penis girth between 5.2” and 5.6” the XXL condom is obviously a way to go.
The Well Hung condom will satisfy those with an even bigger package.
Reviews
Despite the success of their products on a worldwide scale, there were some complaints from consumers that the condoms being sold were perhaps not as good as they could be.
Few readers reported a negative experience with Playboy condoms so I pressed the brand representative for answers.
Seems all negative experiences came from an old batch dated from 2010. The company handling the distribution within the US at the time didn’t follow the recommended guidelines when it comes to storing and distributing a sensitive piece of equipment like condoms.
To combat this Playboy condoms took charge of the distribution channel within the US. In the meantime, they also created a new state of the art facility where all their products are now manufactured.
All in all, it seems that Playboy condoms step up their game and I’m interested to see how will the consumers welcome and experience these changes.

Peter started condom-sizes.org in 2011 after realizing what a difference using a proper condom size really makes! In 2012 he published an e-book called 'How to Find Your Perfect Condom' which is still available on
Ah the damn thing broke!!!
that’s bummer, man! which one have you been using? are you sure it’s the right size?
These condoms are horrible, will never again buy these condoms. It broke and its the worst feeling condom for both my BF and I.
sorry to hear that Tara :(
two negative reviews so far
I hope that others will see yours and Joseph’s reviews before they purchase them
I just tried these condoms last night. The best condom I’ve used ever, as we all know nothing compares to doing it without a condom but this is the 2nd best thing. I have used all condoms out there and this is the best, for me even better than the Crown Skinless.. I highly recommend it!
I really hope they work well and feel good.. My boyfriend just bought some without really checking them out >< I cannot afford for it to break x.x
well, they passed the usual condom tests so you should be fine.
please tell us know your impressions if you decide to give them a try
thanks!
Pieces of shit! Condom broke, throwing them out immediately and never buying them again. Thank God for morning after pills
Ours broke too. Weren’t even rough with it, used it for a quickie and now I’m possibly knocked up. Thanks a lot playboy.
Condoms broke the 2 times we tried. Never using again and would not recommend!
I bought these thinking that Playboy brand would be good. WRONG! These are absolutely the worst i have ever had. Ive been using condoms for nearly 30 years and i have only had 1 break – ever. Since i started using these in November 2014, i have had 2 break on me. I thought the first was an anomaly, but the next time we had sex it ALSO broke. I decided not to take another chance and threw them away. Sadly, Playboy was more interested in image and money than actually providing a product that works. I will say that they felt good, but that means nothing if it breaks every time.
My recommendation to anyone looking for condoms: do not buy these unless you/your partner enjoy taking the day after pills. Is there any way i can sue the company if my partner gets pregnant?
THESE ARE THE WORST CONDOMS EVER! I TRIED THEM FOR THE FIRST TIME & THEY BROKE!! THEN I PUT ANOTHER ONE ON HIM & JERKED HIM OFF & IT BROKE! NONE OF HIS CUM WAS ACTUALLY IN THE CONDOM! FUCK YOU GUYS! :C
sorry to hear that, hope that others will see your review before trying these condoms. there are many other brands which are more reliable, obviously
I thought the condom was amazing. I got a 12 pack of the ultra thins, and they all stayed put and didn’t rip.
yeah, too bad this is a fake review
my grilfriend and I tried it after a sponsor event in a club, and we actually really love it.
I do recommend it if you like new sensations and safety.
plus de logo and the style are very fashion.
These are pretty great! My boyfriend and I both enjoy them. They are thin enough that you sometimes question they are even there. Also, one thing I can’t stand about Trojan is that chemically plastic-y smell and Playboy doesn’t really have a smell which was great. Never had one break (knock on wood) and i’ve used about three 12packs of these. Lube is good, could be more but that’s fine. Definitely worth a try! I think you’ll enjoy them.
These condoms suck. Everytime i have used one it broke. Nothing but problems.
The playboy classics were quite thick. My boyfriend couldn’t cum in them but overall my experience was good because he lasted a lot longer than usual. Although we’d be purchasing thinner ones from now on.
Do not use. They break, first condom to ever break never buying again.
Hi, I have a doubt. Will a Ultra Thin Playboy condom fit for a girth of 5.3″? Magnums are 54 mm on width so what is the difference?
Magnums are 1-2 mm wider. I think Playboy ultra thin would be too snug for you. I’d go with a slightly larger condom (eg. Magnum)
Me and my partner use the ultra thin ones… Best ones we have used so far. It feels like he’s not wearing one at all. But I want to ask do all your condoms contain spermicide?
I have noticed that the bad reviews are from 2014, so maybe, the quality has improved.
The ones i have got in august 2016 in mexico, are pretty dope. They came as samplers of 3 different kinds in a small round box. The ones I prefered were the sensible ones, I could feel the heat of the girl while using it and she could feel me too. So, if you just do vag and not backdoor, they are good. I wouldn’t recommend them for rough sex, for that, use some extraresistant ones, maybe of another brand. But for regular sex, amazing feeling, recommended and no, i have not been paid by the company, i really enjoyed it :)
I’m just wondering if they are breaking because some guys have really big cocks.
they broke so easily……. 3 times in a row… DON’T BUY
Quality definitely improved!
Naturally after reading all of the bad reviews here from few years ago I was a bit sceptic, but I tried first the Classic Playboy Condom and even though it was a bit tight and hard to get it on but I did like the fact that it wasn’t too greasy and didn’t break. The XXL Playboy fits way better for me and felt amazing. A huge plus is that those condoms don’t have any strong smell of latex or rubber odor.
