Product overview
Key Features
Moods is a condom brand manufactured by HLL Lifecare Limited (formerly Hindustan Latex Limited), a Government of India public sector enterprise headquartered in Kerala, India. Per the official Moods brand site and independent retailer listings, this condom is made from natural rubber latex, comes pre-lubricated, and features specially moulded dots on the outside intended for all-round stimulation. Dimensions are approximately 53mm (±2mm) width and 180mm length. We were not able to find a specific chemical breakdown of the lubricant used -- only "lubricated"/"pre-lubricated" is confirmed, so we have not specified a lubricant type beyond this.
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 dotted texture is marketed to enhance sensation for both partners. HLL states its products undergo electronic testing for safety and cites a range of quality certifications (WHO GMP, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485:2016, and others) at a corporate level, which legitimately apply to its condom manufacturing more broadly.
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. Because we could not confirm the specific lubricant ingredients used, anyone with known lubricant sensitivities should exercise general caution.
How to Use
Open the packet carefully to avoid tearing the condom. Place it on an erect penis and roll down while pinching the tip to expel trapped air, before any genital contact. After intercourse, hold the base and withdraw while still erect to prevent slippage. Dispose of used condoms in the trash, never flush them. Use a new condom for every act of intercourse, and never reuse a condom.
Storage & Safety
Store in a cool, dry place away from rain, heat, direct sunlight, and anything that could cause mechanical damage to the packaging. Check the expiry date printed on the pack before each use. No method of contraception or STI prevention is 100% effective. If a condom breaks, seek medical advice promptly, ideally within 72 hours, regarding emergency contraception and STI risk. Discontinue use and consult a doctor if irritation or an allergic reaction occurs.
