Product overview
Key Features
Manufactured by HLL Lifecare Limited (formerly Hindustan Latex Limited), a Government of India public sector enterprise and the maker of the Moods brand since 1987, this is a natural rubber latex condom with a dotted texture, flavored and colored to a grape profile, designed for heightened sensation during intercourse. Confirmed dimensions from a Bangladesh retailer are approximately 180mm in length, 53mm (±2mm) in width, and roughly 0.06mm in thickness. HLL Lifecare states its manufacturing meets WHO GMP and multiple ISO standards, with products citing compliance with WHO, ISO 4074, and ASTM condom testing standards. This 3-piece pack size is confirmed to exist alongside the more commonly listed 12-piece pack.
Benefits
The dotted texture is designed to add extra stimulation and sensation for both partners during intercourse, compared to a smooth condom. When used correctly and consistently, latex condoms are an effective barrier method for reducing the risk of pregnancy and many sexually transmitted infections, though as with any method, no barrier method is 100% effective.
Who Can Use This Product
Intended for sexually active adults seeking a flavored, textured condom for added sensation. Not suitable for those with a latex allergy, given the natural rubber latex material. Individuals with a latex allergy should choose a non-latex alternative and consult a pharmacist or doctor if unsure.
How to Use
Check the expiry date and packaging for damage before use. Open the wrapper carefully by hand -- never with teeth, scissors, or sharp objects, which can damage the condom. Pinch the tip to remove air, then roll it onto an erect penis before any genital contact. Use only a water-based or silicone-based lubricant if additional lubrication is desired; do not use oil-based lubricants, as they can degrade latex. Use a new condom for each act of intercourse, and dispose of it after a single use.
Storage & Safety
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and away from sharp objects. Do not store in a wallet or a hot car for extended periods, as heat and friction can weaken latex. Check the expiry date before each use. Discontinue use and consult a doctor if irritation or an allergic reaction develops in either partner. This product does not protect against all sexually transmitted infections with complete certainty and does not offer 100% protection against pregnancy.
