Design Showcase: ONE Condoms

24 Apr

ONE Condoms Logo

Today we’re publishing our second condom brand review for you. We call this series of articles “condoms design showcase” and we’re concentrating on the condom brand personality and what they have to offer you. We’re not only reviewing brands, but offering the possibilty to give you a voice too. You can add your own experiences, ask questions and help others out.

So today it’s ONE Condoms‘ turn. I’m especially happy to present ONE this early in the lifespan of this blog because it is a very interesting and innovative brand. So far ONE are home in the US, Canada, Iceland and Norway as well as in the UK. ONE has come up with a slogan that says: “Next Generation Condoms”. Read on to find out why and if it’s true.

Interactivity Included

Let me begin with the most obvious feature of ONE condoms. When looking at their condom wrappers one can’t help realizing that they’re refreshingly different from what we’re used to from other brands: they’re round and they’ve got pictures printed on. Actually it’s over 120 various pictures and designs.

ONE Condoms Wrappers

It can be quite addictive to open the package and watch the designs you got.

ONE Design Contest

But the really important factor here is how the designs are done in the first place. They’re made by people like you, submitted to onecondoms.com and then voted on by the visitors of the page. It means the wrappers are entirely crowdsourced if you will.

So ONE Condoms is periodically looking for the Picasso of Prophylactics. I think this is a very important message, you can be part of their team to make condoms more beautiful. Here’s how you can contribute to the design of ONE Condoms: Click on the cup on the left, take a good breath and start drawing and submitting designs.

I’m sure it’s a rewarding feeling to have your own wrapper printed.

ONE Condoms Background

ONE Condoms has not been around for that long, but the company behind it is a big one of the condom industry. Global Protection Corporation is around since 1988 and has brands like Atlas Condoms, Pleasure Plus and Night Light in its portfolio. What really sets ONE Condoms apart is their dedication to lifestyle and for me this is an explanation for their success.

ONE Condoms Homepage

The ONE website is not loaded with information, but it does its job. You can vote, submit designs and browse some of the collection. You can enroll in Sex School, communicate about sex, make a difference on your campus and take the Safer Sex Oath.

In case you need a clinic near you, try finding one by using the ONE Clinic Finder.

I was amazed to learn that ONE Condoms is not doing print or television advertisement. They instead partner with performing artists to carry their brand. You can check them out and listen to some songs here: Listen to ONE.

ONE Packaging

ONE use beautifully designed aluminum style cases for their packages. They come in 3-,12-, and 50-Packs. To see the packages for the individual products, just click on the pictures below they’ll take you to the single products with more information.

ONE Products

You will find a bright “Made with Sensatex” on every ONE packaging. This means that they’re supposed to be softer, smoother, clearer and purer than other condoms. I really can’t say if that’s true. As always I’d suggest to give it a try and see if they fit YOU. After all it’s always a really emotional and subjective experience to choose condoms. Feel free to add your opinion as a comment to help others out. An interesting note concerning condoms security: Every ONE Condom is individually electronically tested for your safety and reliability. This is a really good sign, we have no word of who is controlling these testing procedures though.

As for the packaging one can say, that they don’t fail to deliver a stylish image. You can get 6 different styles in boxes of 3, 12 or 50 pieces.

Unboxing ONE Condoms

To make sure you know how to open the package and what’s inside we’re doing unboxings: To view the gallery with more pictures click here!

one-condoms-gallery.jpg

There’s also an unboxing video for those interested in the opening process. To view on youtube click here!

Now here we’ve got an interesting issue:

  • The boxes are nice to look at, but were a bit difficult to release from the packaging. However to be fair here, there’s almost no packaging you will not have minor opening problems with
  • What remains though is the problem with the wrappers. They’re nice to look at, but as they’re round we’ve found it more difficult to open up than classical square wrappers. That’s something you’ll just have to accept or come to terms with.

Summary

  • Brand origin and date of formation: USA, ?

  • Length: 180-200 mm

To summarize the whole thing I think I can say that ONE Condoms is a really interesting and fashionable brand for young people. What do you think? Do you like their concept? Have you ever won one of their design contests?

I love One Condoms (onecondoms.com). I think the unique package designs–they’re round!–add to the experience of sex and make it sooo much less boring. Plus they have condoms that glow in the dark…which just about sums it up for me. I adore them.

Your blog is interesting!

Keep up the good work!

@AlexM: Thank you very much for the kind words Alex

ONE is a great condom brand. Check ONE out at CondomJungle.com

This is a great review!

Go to http://www.onecondoms.com for more information :)

The round shape actually makes so much sense, as it just reflects the form of what’s inside. Too bad they’re tough to open, maybe ONE could work on that. Nice designs, some very good ideas there.
Nice review, everything you need to know I guess.

these suck. I have had them split on me a few times. customer services are appalling and say that its my fault . Never had problems with any other brand

Can’t believe how difficult they were to open. Took me 20 minutes to get open, That was after using a knife. Not impressed at all.

Kane: ya so i tryed one out on my self lol and its glow and the dark strips, its not just all glow in the dark which is boring

Brandon: you tried it out on yourself? :)
oh kane,
but really? that’s weird you would have thought for the extra price they could ahve made the whole thing glow…instead of a zebra penis.

Kane: ya well ive never thought of that but u can make the fully glow, u just have to hold a lamp up to ur penis wen its on then it glows the rest of it…..its only strips because its rolled up and wen u “charge it” lol its makes a zebra

One condoms are simply amazing. the act of buying and putting one on is interactive. One makes it fun to use condoms. check them out at onecondoms.com they have all kinds of styles, colors, and shapes!

One condoms suck..my girlfriend and i used one today and it broke!..not impressed at all..ive been using trojan for my entire sex life..and the first time i didnt, i used ONE..and it broke..definatly dont recommend them to anyone unless you want a pregnancy scare like im in the middle of now!

okay i tried this for my first time ever . a virgin. and it made me never want to do it again. it broke. i had a feeling it was sketchy

Don’t give up that easily, it’s still the safest and cleverest protection out there ;)

ONE is one of my now all time favorite brand! The wrappers are not only fun to look at, but aren’t like the normale condom wrappers. They’re alot easier to carry around. Not to mention the company is great with sexuall health, and getting out the word about safe sex! double bonus! The Street Team Is amazing. And it gives you the chance to earn awesome prizes!

Bullshit it is..Amy, my advice is to use Trojan, i use them and it is the best condom out there..it hasnt failed me once, and ONE has 3 times now

To everyone that says these suck, you’re sorely mistaken. of the hundreds of times i’ve used these, they’ve NEVER broken. and honestly, any idiot can open these, fyi, that was to Mr. ‘i cant open these with a knife’… dumbass. trojans dry out and feel like shit after like 20 minutes and the lube they use smells terrible. these are by far the best condoms i’ve ever used.

I’m very experienced and skilled at condom use…and I’ve never had a condom break on (in) me before…I recently bought a box of ONE and I’ve had 3 of them break on me! They also don’t unroll very smoothly…

the packaging images are fun…but condom breakage is not ONE bit of fun…

i had 2 of them break in a row.. do not buy them..

Ok so I have always been a Durex guy, but i saw One condoms the other day at the store and they looked pretty cool. Since the packaging looked pretty inventive I picked up the pack with a few different kinds in it and figured I’d give them a try… Big Mistake! Last night my girl and I broke 3 of them in about ten minutes, so i switched up to a Durex and everything was fine. Innovative packaging and cool designs but not the best quality rubber.

shitty condoms. the one we chose ended up ripping during intercourse… safer sex heh?

I don’t know how well they work or if it was strong enough.
The round wrapper is very hard to open, especially if your hands are a little slippery. You need a corner to hang on to.

Wow i cant believe how many ppl say these have broken on…I’ve been using them for almost 2 years now n they are the best, never, ever had one break on me…unlike fuxin Trojans they dont wreak of latex rubber…and i think it depends on the person becuz i had 3 scares cuz trojans and durexes broke on me…so i guess everyone has diff experiences huh lol.
Either way I am absolutely in love with ONE Condoms, they feel AWESOME, never had a problem opening them, and i think they’re reliable!! 5 stars all the way ;D

These condoms are incredible. There packages are amazing in and of themselves. But personally i love the glow in the dark ones there always fun to use and just great quality.

One Condoms are my favorite. The fun designs and unique round packaging actually make me want to use protection. I love the travel cases they come in, too. They’re guaranteed not to get poked or ruined if you keep them stored in the cases. I recommend these to anyone who’s sexually active.
