Quick answer

Choose SKYN Elite if you prefer a non-latex, softer feel and need a longer, wider fit. Choose Trojan Ultra Ribbed if you want added friction and extra stimulation from deep ribs and are comfortable with latex.

Material and feel

SKYN Elite is made from polyisoprene, a non-latex material that provides a softer, more natural feeling. This makes it a great option if you have a latex sensitivity or simply prefer a less restrictive sensation. Trojan Ultra Ribbed uses standard latex, which is durable and reliable but may not feel as natural to some users.

Sensation and stimulation

Trojan Ultra Ribbed features deep ribs that create extra friction, designed to hit the right spots and increase sensation for both partners. The added texture can make intercourse more stimulating. SKYN Elite is smooth and lubricated, focusing on a natural, uninterrupted feel rather than added texture.
