Most important, Elexa is a sponsor of BlogHer. Is that not the ultimate sign of laziness?) They are not charging women more to buy condoms than men, as so many products get away with. (And, yes, it is smart to be prepared, but don’t fuck a dude who can’t even be bothered to pick up some dick socks, no matter how damn hot he is. Sure, it also annoyed me that the mere creation of condoms from “a woman’s perspective” seemed to once again put the onus for protection on women, as usual. However, I tried very hard to like Elexa. (If you need more than 12 at a time, you must be a total slut!) Whatever. I guess women are just getting it less often. Trojans, however, are available in a economy pack of 36 for a mere $17-$19, while Elexa max out at 12. Both types come (or at least that is the plan, wink wink) with 12 condoms. Elexa Stimulating Lubricant are $9.99 and Trojan with “Warm Sensations Lubricant,” which I assume is the same thing or similar enough – I mean, how many random sensation lubricants can they have? – are $10.49. For example, sells both Elexa and regular Trojan packages with a vibrating ring and condom for $9.99. Actually, the prices are very close, and sometimes Elexa costs more without the discount, and sometimes Trojans do. I was wrong, but only because discounts Elexa at a higher rate (19%) than Trojans (13%-17%). (I guess they didn’t want to scare the manly men away from their condoms, lest they see the special boxes and get worried that they are buying something from a "woman's perspective.") I looked it up so that I could compare prices, as I was certain that Elexa condoms would cost more than the same condoms in non-pretty boxes. To find Elexa by Trojan, you must specifically type in Elexa. Grow the fuck up! Just because it is in a “pretty” or “sexy” box does not mean that you are getting a better product.Įven more annoying is that when I looked up “Trojan” at, it only lists regular Trojans, although Elexa is made by Trojan. Women, if you are too fucking self-conscious to buy a regular box of condoms, I suggest that you are probably not mature enough to be having sex in the first place. What is the difference between Elexa and any other Trojan condom? What exact “woman’s perspective” are these advertising nutjobs talking about? Oh, wait.
ELEXA™ is a premium line of sexual well-being products created from a woman's perspective and designed to help you realize a more fulfilling sex life.(For the record, I copied this blurb exactly – it said “A Women’s Perspective,” not the grammatically correct “A Woman’s Perspective,” but perhaps was at fault, not Elexa.) As far as I can tell, it is just a fucking condom.
The hideous corporate need to squeeze every last fucking penny out of something by creating and then exploiting social differences between men and women drives me up the wall.Įnjoy the freedom to focus more completely on the pleasure of intimacy. Guess what? No matter who buys it – woman or man – it will be used the same way (including the possibility of water balloons or just plain balloons with spermicide – balloons hate sperm!).
There is nothing that makes my blood boil more than companies who take a basic product - in this case a condom – and then package it and market it differently to men and women. The very first time I saw an ad for trojan Elexa, I hated it immediately.
