Product overview
Key Features
Manforce is a condom brand from Mankind Pharma, a well-known pharmaceutical company based in India. This "Black Grapes" flavoured condom is made from natural rubber latex and comes pre-lubricated. Per the official Manforce ("XTASY" line) product page and a Bangladeshi retailer listing, this product features a textured design with 342 raised dots and 2 contours, sized at approximately 53mm girth and 180mm length. Note: we also found a separate, similarly-named product, "Manforce Wild Black Grapes" (sold in a 10-piece pack), described with a different texture spec (384 dots, 5 ribs, 1 contour) -- this appears to be a distinct product line from the 3-piece "Black Grapes" SKU catalogued here, so we recommend confirming your physical pack matches the description above. The black grape flavour is intended to mask the natural latex taste and odor, which some users find useful during oral sex.
Benefits
When used correctly and consistently, latex condoms like this one are intended to reduce -- not eliminate -- the risk of unintended pregnancy and the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The textured, dotted-and-contoured design is marketed to enhance sensation for both partners, and the flavoured coating is intended to make the condom more pleasant to use, including for oral sex.
Who Can Use This Product
This product is intended for sexually active adults. Individuals with a known latex allergy should avoid this and any other natural rubber latex condom, as it can cause reactions ranging from mild skin irritation to more serious allergic responses; non-latex alternatives (such as polyurethane or polyisoprene condoms) are available, and a pharmacist can advise further. Anyone with a known sensitivity to flavouring or lubricant ingredients should also use caution, as the exact lubricant composition was not independently confirmed for this specific SKU.
How to Use
Carefully tear open the individual wrapper along the edge, avoiding contact with teeth, nails, or sharp objects. Pinch the tip to remove trapped air, then unroll the condom fully over an erect penis before any genital contact. After ejaculation, hold the rim and withdraw promptly to prevent slippage or leakage. Use a new condom for every act of intercourse, and never reuse a condom.
Storage & Safety
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sharp objects. Avoid oil-based lubricants such as petroleum jelly, baby oil, or body lotion, as these can degrade latex and increase the risk of breakage; use only water- or silicone-based lubricants if additional lubrication is desired. Check the expiry date and packaging integrity before each use, and discard if the packaging is damaged or the condom appears brittle or discoloured. No method of contraception or STI prevention is 100% effective. If a condom breaks or slips, seek medical advice promptly, ideally within 72 hours, regarding emergency contraception and STI risk.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: What is this condom made from?
A: Natural rubber latex, pre-lubricated, per the official Manforce product page.
Q: What does the "342 dots, 2 contours" texture mean?
A: This is the raised, textured pattern on the condom surface described for this SKU on the official brand page and a Bangladeshi retailer's listing, intended to enhance sensation. A separate, similarly-named "Wild Black Grapes" product has a different texture spec, so we recommend checking that your physical pack matches this description.
Q: Can I use an oil-based lubricant with this condom?
A: No. Oil-based lubricants such as petroleum jelly or baby oil can weaken latex and increase the risk of breakage. Use water- or silicone-based lubricants instead.
Q: Is this condom fully effective at preventing pregnancy and STIs?
A: No method of contraception or STI prevention is 100% effective. This product is intended to reduce, not eliminate, these risks when used correctly and consistently.
Q: What should I do if this condom breaks during use?
A: Seek medical advice promptly, ideally within 72 hours, regarding emergency contraception and STI risk assessment.
