Choosing the right condom often comes down to material, feel, and how much you want to spend. One option here is a multipack; the other is a polyurethane pack from Japan. The trade-offs between feel, pack size, and material set up the real question: which of those matters most to you?
For regular use, having more condoms on hand is convenient. For occasional use, a smaller pack may be enough, and the feel of the material can take priority. The choice is not really about one being superior; it's about matching the product to your habits and preferences.
Quick verdict
If you want more condoms for your money and a textured feel, the Ultra Ribbed Pack is the straightforward pick. If you want an exceptionally thin, non-latex option and are willing to accept a smaller pack, the Sagami Original 001 is the one to consider. The real decision is whether the thin profile justifies the smaller quantity.

Where each product wins
- The Ultra Ribbed Pack wins on supply and feel. It gives you more condoms, and the design adds a distinct feel.
- The Sagami Original 001 wins on material and precision. It offers a 0.01mm profile, a later expiration date, and a Japanese origin. If that profile is your priority, this is the option that delivers it.
Product notes
Ultra Ribbed Pack
This pack gives you ten lubricated latex condoms with extra ribbing and deep ribbing at the base and end. It's a practical choice if you want a larger supply and a textured feel. The condoms are electronically tested, and the design uses an UltraSmooth lubricant for a more comfortable experience. The extra ribbing is meant to increase stimulation for both partners, while the comfort shape allows freedom of movement. The main limitation is the material: it's a latex condom, so it won't suit someone who needs an alternative to latex. The expiration date on this pack is 2025-10-01, which is shorter than the Sagami pack, so keep that in mind if you're storing them. If you plan to use the pack before then, this is an easy recommendation.
Sagami Original 001
This five-pack comes from Japan and is made from polyurethane. The headline detail is the 0.01mm thickness, and the condoms are also lubricated. The pack has an expiration date of 04/2028, so it has a longer shelf life than the ribbed pack. The trade-off is the pack size: five condoms is a smaller supply, so you won't have as many on hand at once. If you don't need a large number of condoms and want a closer feel, this is the one to look at. The product is marked as a US seller, which is useful if you prefer buying from a domestic source. The nominal width is 2.1 inches.
Final choice by use case
- Choose the Ultra Ribbed Pack if you want a ten-pack for USD 8.99 and like the feel of a ribbed latex condom.
- Choose the Sagami Original 001 if you want an ultra-thin, non-latex condom and are comfortable paying USD 99.99 for a five-pack.
