Most women find it difficult to orgasm during penetrative sex.

That’s where Ribbed Condoms come to the rescue!  

Ribbed (or textured) condoms not only protect from STIs and unplanned pregnancies but also ENHANCE your partner’s pleasure by increasing friction and intensifying sensations. 

They’re especially good at stimulating your girl’s G-spot, which can lead to some toe-curling orgasms!

That said, there are so many ribbed condoms on the market that you’ll probably get overwhelmed trying to find the right ones. Well, I’ve tested quite a few types and brands, so I might be able to help you. 

I’ve made a list of the best ribbed condoms I’ve tried so far, and I’m sure you’ll find a favorite type on here too!  Let’s begin with the TOP 3.

Best Ribbed, Studded, and Textured Condoms In 2023

Durex is one of the most recognized condom brands both in the US and Europe.

Is it any wonder? They offer high quality at affordable prices and are available practically everywhere.

They have some of the best ribbed condoms on the market, and the Extra Sensitive Ribbed variety is the cream of the crop.

They are not only textured for your partner’s pleasure but also ultra-thin, so you can feel the full sensation of every thrust. 

They also come with an extra slippery lube, so penetration can go smoothly and pain-free. 

Also, they are a tad bit larger than regular condoms, so they won’t squeeze you, slip off, or break if you are bigger. 

Remember that this won’t be your ideal pick if you or your partner are allergic to latex since these are latex condoms.

Last but not least – they come in a pack of 12 and are super affordable, so they’re the perfect choice for someone on a budget or someone planning a sexy getaway.

Trojan is also a staple in the condom industry, and they offer affordable, comfortable, and safe products. 

Trojan Ultra Ribbed is a budget-friendly option at only $4.99 for a 3-pack.

They’re also 25% thinner than standard Trojan condoms, so you’ll be able to feel your partner instead of the condom itself.

They’re a little small girth-wise, so they might be a little uncomfortable for guys with bigger penises, but if you’re average, they won’t cause you major discomfort or break.

These condoms are made from PREMIUM latex, making them even more durable than other options. That means you can play freely without worrying about potential mishaps.

---

Some girls just want more, and standard textured condoms don’t give them the extra push they need to get to the finish line.

But ONE Super Studs condoms offer something extra! 

They have a heavier texture than other condoms on the market. They’re covered in LARGE STUDS that noticeably increase friction. That makes stimulation stronger and pleasure more intense.

The condoms have a contoured shape for a secure, snug fit and are covered in premium silicone lube for easier penetration and long-lasting comfort.  

Keep in mind that heavy texture is NOT for everyone.

Some women are more sensitive, and textures like that can cause discomfort (or even pain).

---

When you choose a ribbed condom, the extra thickness can get in the way of your pleasure. That’s why choosing a condom that is BOTH textured for your girl’s sake and thin for your own sake is important. 

I recommend you try Kimono MicroThin Ribbed condoms to get the best of both worlds!

These condoms combine both ridges and studs for a truly stimulating experience for your partner. However, keep in mind they are made of latex, which may cause allergies.

Another good thing is that these condoms come in a pack of 12, so you can play again and again at an affordable price!

For the condom to protect you as intended, it should fit you well. The perfect fit prevents leakage and breakage, and it feels much better when you’re getting it on. 

Trojan Her Pleasure Sensations have a wide top and tapered base for a comfortable, snug fit, so you can play safely and feel great.

There are no weird and off-putting latex smells, so there will be no unpleasant distractions during your playtime. 

Keep in mind that the texture of these condoms might be too mild for some people’s tastes.

On the bright side, they are perfect for extra sensitive women who are still curious about experiencing sex with a ribbed condom.

When using textured condoms, you must also be properly lubed up.

The ridges increase friction which can be VERY pleasurable, but dryness can turn that into a painful experience for your partner. 

Trojan has thought of that and offers you Ultra Ribbed Ecstasy – condoms with extra texture AND extra premium lube. That way, your partner can enjoy the powerful stimulation while penetration remains smooth and discomfort free. 

Not to mention these condoms are also extra thin and offer a comfortable fit – they are snug at the base and looser towards the tip. That means you can have a natural and pleasurable experience. 

The only downside is that this product does smell of latex, but it’s not strong enough for me to consider it a dealbreaker. Just don’t use them if you also plan to do oral.

One of the most common problems with couples is that often the woman needs a lot of time to achieve orgasm, while the guy tends to finish quickly.

Durex aims to fix both those problems with their Performax Intense condoms. 

This product has both ridges and dots for a heightened experience for women. For the guys, a little aid can help them last longer – 5% benzocaine lube.

This lube is only on the inner side of the condom and makes you go slightly numb, so you don’t get overstimulated and finish too quickly. 

Remember that the numbing sensation feels weird for some guys, even though it’s completely safe.

For some, the numbing is too strong, causing them to lose their erection. That said, if you tend to get overly turned on or are extra sensitive, that might not happen to you. You have to try to find out!

These condoms are also completely reliable and have a comfortable design, so you don’t struggle with putting them on.

The tagline on this box of condoms is “More control for him, more time for her.”

Boy, are they right!

The delay lubricant numbs you a bit so you can have more control over your orgasm. That means your girl has MORE TIME to enjoy the dotted and ribbed textures of the condom, which heighten her sensitivity and deliver extraordinary pleasure. 

Why are these condoms different from other ribbed condoms with delay lubricant? Because they are also THIN.

That prevents you from completely losing all pleasure and sensitivity, which may happen with other condoms of this type. You have control over the situation, but you are still feeling great and having fun!

I have to say; these are more expensive than other condoms of this type, but not by a long shot. I think they’re definitely worth the few extra bucks.

---

Trojan Double Ecstasy Ribbed condoms work for the pleasure of both you and your partner by giving you exactly what you need. 

These condoms are designed for the guy’s ultimate comfort.

A tapered base guarantees a snug fit, so your condom won’t slip off, and you can play safely. The broad tip makes the condom comfortable. The ultra-smooth lube on the inside of the condom makes you more receptive to pleasure and gives you a natural feeling.

It makes me worry about leaks or breakage. That said, some guys prefer it, and this particular design shouldn’t be at risk of breaking without a reservoir. 

The ladies can enjoy the ribbed texture AND a lubricant with a warming effect on the outside. The combo results in a very intense stimulation!

Lelo Hex condoms are evolutionary inventions.

They are incredibly comfortable with a good fit. And they feel great to use during sex due to their ultra-thin material.

The product’s hexagonal structure makes it much more durable than a condom of that thickness, so tearing is not a concern. Lelo Hex condoms are also less restrictive as the material is much stretchier. 

They are not flavored but have a very neutral smell, making them an excellent option for oral condoms that couples can use for their sexual adventures.

Keeping that in mind, the texture of the material is quite noticeable. It may catch some people off-guard at first glance. It also doesn’t feel like ribber rubber, so that it may set people up for disappointment. 

Regardless, these condoms are one of the more decisive rubbers on the market. And they make intimate moments feel much more worthwhile. 

For example, if you are using a silicone toy, it’s vital to consider which lube is compatible with the material. 

Silicone is a specific material that can have harmful effects on itself. And if you use silicone lube on a toy with the same composition, the surface can break down and leave pieces inside your body.

You don’t want this to happen. So if you’re using a silicone material, use a water- or oil-based lube instead.

The safest option of the three is to go with a water-based lubricant as a general go-to. But it tends to dry out faster. So you also have that to consider.

The Best Ribbed Condoms Buying Guide

Things may still be a bit unclear for you, so I think we should discuss what you should consider when choosing a ribbed condom. Let’s look at each feature and see how it affects your experience. 

Texture

When choosing a ribbed condom, the most important thing is… well, the texture. 

I’ve been calling these condoms “ribbed,” but there are many other types of texture. They may have ribs, but they also may have dots, waves, and so on.

Experiment with different patterns to see which textures work best for your partner. 

It’s also important to consider how much texture your partner will enjoy.

More pronounced textures heighten stimulation, which is great if your partner wants to kick things up several notches. However, it’s best to stick with milder textures to prevent pain and discomfort if they’re sensitive.

---

Lubricant

Textured condoms increase friction, so you need to use MORE LUBE to prevent damage to the vaginal tissue. 

Water-based lube is always a safe bet, but some condoms can be freely used with a silicone lubricant, which is more slippery and long-lasting.

Materials

Condoms are made out of latex, polyurethane, or polyisoprene. 

• Latex comes from the rubber tree plant and is the go-to material for classic condoms. Keep in mind that some people are allergic to latex. To check if you’re allergic, purchase an inexpensive non-lubricated latex condom and rub it against your skin (on your inner wrist, not your genitals). If you don’t have an allergic reaction (redness, itching, rashes), you can use latex condoms without any worry. 

• Polyurethane condoms are just as reliable as latex, if not more. They seem to be thinner, stronger, and conduct body heat better. Sadly, they are not stretchy like latex condoms, so they do not have a snug fit, which means they’re more likely to break. They are also more expensive than classic condoms. 
• Polyisoprene condoms are softer and feel more skinlike than polyurethane ones. They also stretch more, which gives you a snugger fit and makes them a better alternative to latex. They’re a recent development, so condoms like this are harder to find.

---

Size

Condoms are normally extremely stretchy, so a scenario where you won’t be able to put on a condom doesn’t really exist.

That said, the fit matters. If you wear something too large or too small, it might slip off or break. A snug fit prevents leakage and other mishaps. 

Check the sizing on the condom packaging. If regular condoms feel too tight on you, search for an XL version. If they’re too loose, get a slimmer fit.

Features

Ok, so you chose to get a textured condom – that’s great! But what other features are there? 

You can choose between thin and extra-strength condoms.

The thinner ones you can barely feel leave you more receptive to pleasure – you feel your partner and not the condom.

On the other hand, more thick and secure condoms are great for those who tend to thrust harder and are known to break regular condoms. 

You can get flavored condoms to keep you and your partner safe during oral sex. Make sure to buy quality ones because cheap artificial flavors and scents might cause allergies in some people.

Some condoms help with premature ejaculation, but be careful – they work by making your penis numb because of a chemical inside them.

If you’re numb, you risk losing your erection or just missing a lot of pleasure. It’s best if condoms with a delay lubricant are also thin, so you can still have a great time while also being in control.

We also have a standalone guide on the best condoms that you may want to try.

Budget

Of course, you should also consider your budget when getting condoms.

You can find free condoms at some health clinics and centers, but all of them are the basic type. If you want ribbed condoms, you will have to spare some money.

Luckily, there are ribbed condoms for every budget and price range.

You don’t have to go all fancy, but make sure you get a quality product. Treating an STI or terminating a pregnancy will cost you much more than an expensive condom – monetarily and emotionally.

F.A.Q

Do ribbed condoms feel better for women?

Honestly, there isn’t a thing that magically works for ALL women. What feels better for your partner depends on their body, sensitivity, and personal taste.

On the whole, ribbed condoms feel AWESOME for women.

The texture adds extra stimulation during penetration. The feeling is stronger, and for many ladies, that also means it’s more pleasurable.

Ribbed condoms also help with G-spot stimulation, which is the key to a penetrative orgasm for many girls.

Keep in mind that some women are extra sensitive and aren’t too fond of textures because the friction is too much for them or because they can cause a rash.  

Ask your partner what they prefer.

You can later progress to harder stuff.

It all depends on you and your partner’s comfort levels. 

---

Are there side effects to using textured condoms?

Since the texture of ribbed condoms is on the outside, I can confidently say there are NO side effects for the person wearing the condom. 

It might be different for the person that gets penetrated.

The texture of the condom heightens stimulation and pleasure, but it can be unpleasant for some. Too much friction can cause pain and even rashes. You might be able to prevent this by using more lube. 

---

Are there any ribbed condoms for bigger penises?

Condoms are typically VERY stretchy, but they’re technically not one size fits all.

If you’re bigger, you can fit into a smaller condom, but the tightness might cause the condom to slip off or break. 

There are ribbed condoms for virtually ALL SIZES! 

You just have to know what you’re looking for.

Final Thoughts 

Ribbed condoms not only keep you safe but also increase your partner’s pleasure.

There are many different textured condoms out there, so experiment away! Your partner will be pleasantly surprised.
