Condoms Extra Strong

A preservativo extra fuerte is the same product as a standard one with more latex per square millimeter. This gives additional margin in specific situations, and it is advisable to know what they are, because in the rest it does not provide anything that a normal, well-used condom does not already provide.

What exactly changes

The thickness of a standard condom is around 0.060 to 0.070 millimeters. A reinforced one is between 0.085 and 0.100.

All of them, including the fine ones, pass the same tests of the EN ISO 4074 standard: air pressure until bursting, tensile strength and absence of pores. A thin condom is not a weak condom, it is one that performs with less material.

What the extra thickness provides is margin against sustained friction and handling. That is why it makes sense in long sessions, in anal penetration and when psychological comfort weighs as much as technique.

##What really causes breakages

This is the point that changes the purchasing decision, because thickness is the third cause, not the first.

The first is the lack of lubricant. Dry friction generates heat and tension at one point, and that is where the latex gives way. A standard condom with plenty of lubricant is safer than a dry reinforced condom.

The second is the size. A condom that is too tight works at the limit of its elasticity all the time; one that is too wide slips and wrinkles. The information to look at is the nominal width, which appears on the box in millimeters and usually ranges from 49 to 60. It is calculated by measuring the erect circumference and dividing by two.

The third is air trapped in the tip, which creates a pressure point. It is solved by pinching the tank with two fingers when placing it.

The error that voids all protection

Using two condoms at the same time, seeking more security, does just the opposite. The two latex surfaces rub against each other, generating friction and heat, and the probability of breakage increases rather than decreases.

The same thing happens when combining an external condom with an internal one. One is used, and only one.

Compatible lubricant

Water, silicone and hybrid bases work with latex. What never works is anything oil-based, not massage oil, not body cream, not Vaseline, because they degrade the latex in a matter of seconds.

The formulas are in Water-Based and the thick ones for anal use in Anal Lubricants.

Conservation, which degrades more than use

A condom expires, and it does so sooner if it is stored incorrectly.

Sustained heat, light and pressure are the three enemies. That's why carrying one loose in your purse for months is a bad idea: the constant friction against the packaging and body heat degrade it long before the printed date.

Store them in a cool, dry place, check the date before using them and discard any packaging that is wrinkled, perforated or without the air bubble that indicates it is sealed. Open it with your fingers along the serrated edge, never with your teeth or scissors.

If the problem is something else

If you are looking for a reinforced condom because the standard one fits you just right, the solution is probably size and not thickness. If you are looking for it to extend the duration, there are specific formats with a delay effect in Delay & Control.

The rest of the options are in Condoms, the thicker versions in Extra Safe, the thin ones in Sensitive & Thin and the alternatives for latex allergies in Latex Free.

The types, compared

Thickness is not the only parameter and is almost never the most important. This table puts each type in its context of use.

Type	Relative thickness	When to choose it	Compatible lubricant
Standard	0.06 to 0.07mm	General use	Water or silicone
Extra strong	0.08mm or more	Long sessions, anal use	Water or silicone
Fine	0.04 to 0.05mm	Maximum sensitivity	Water or silicone
Latex free	Variable	Latex allergy	Depending on material, check
Textured	Standard	Added feel	Water or silicone

If the reason for looking for more thickness is durability and not resistance, the solution is usually in another section: in Delay & Control or in Cock Rings.

Frequently asked questions

Do extra strong condoms break less?

In conditions of prolonged use or high friction, they do provide margin. In common use, the vast majority of breaks do not come from thickness but from size, lack of lubricant or poor unrolling.

What really causes breakages?

Four things: lack of lubricant, incorrect size, air trapped in the tip and contact with oily product. Once these are corrected, the failure rate drops drastically.

Can two condoms be used at the same time?

No. Friction between the two layers of latex increases the probability of breakage rather than reducing it. Only one, well placed and with compatible lubricant.

What lubricant can be used?

Water-based or silicone-based. Any product with oil, including massage oils and body creams, degrades latex within minutes.

How are they preserved?

Far from the heat, the sun and the constant pressure. The wallet is the worst possible place: friction and body heat degrade the latex long before the expiration date.
