Masking description
Although it is an open label investigation, some information such as condom size will be removed from all packages so participants will not know which condom variant they are testing.
Intervention model description
This is a prospective, open-label, intra-individual, exploratory, single-centre clinical investigation. Each participant will test 4 PU condoms and 4 NRL condoms in a defined order, according to the randomization schedule.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The exploration of condom experience across a range of sizes and materials | 6 weeks condom use period (intervention duration) | Participants will measure their penis size at screening and will be assigned to pre-defined groups. The endpoint is the exploration of condom experience across a range of materials and sizes within each group. Participants will evaluate the condoms over a period of 6 weeks and rate their condom experience through subject perceived questionnaires using the following scales: 1. Disagree, somewhat disagree, neither agree nor disagree, agree, strongly agree; 2. 1-10 with 1 being extremely dissatisfied and 10 being extremely satisfied. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Examine whether the preferred condom variant is the same for both PU and NRL condoms. | 6 weeks condom use period (intervention duration) | The endpoint is the evaluation of the correspondence of preferred condom variant for PU and NRL condoms. The endpoint is collected over a period of 6 weeks on different condom types and variants by means of subject perceived questionnaires which participants will rate their condom preference using the following scales: 1. Disagree, somewhat disagree, neither agree nor disagree, agree, strongly agree; 2. 1-10 with 1 being extremely dissatisfied and 10 being extremely satisfied. |
