[Unboxing] LELO HEX Original: A Practical, Premium Unboxing Experience

I’ve got all three sizes in front of me – the 3’s pack, the 12’s pack, and the big 36’s pack – so if you’re wondering what you actually get when you order them, let’s dig in.

First Impressions

When the package arrived, I honestly could’ve mistaken it for skincare or some fancy tech accessory. The boxes are minimalist, clean white, with that subtle hexagon pattern that hints at what’s going on inside without screaming “HEY, THESE ARE CONDOMS!”

If discretion matters to you – shared mailbox, nosy roommates, curious family – these pass the vibe check. They look premium but not loud, very on-brand for LELO.

What’s in Each Box?

HEX Original Condoms 3’s Pack

The 3’s pack is the “let’s try it out” size. Think of it as a little test drive.

Open the flap and you get three individually wrapped condoms, neatly lined up. The foils are slim, easy to tuck into a wallet, clutch, or travel bag. It’s the kind of pack you’d keep in your everyday drawer or take with you on a weekend away when you just want a few on hand, not a whole stockpile.

HEX Original Condoms 12’s Pack

The 12’s pack feels like the realistic, “responsible adult” option – enough to last you a while, but still compact. When you open the box, the foils are stacked in a tidy row, and it actually looks pretty organized, not like they’ve all been tossed in randomly.

This is the one I’d keep in the nightstand. You open it once, and you’ve basically got your bases covered for a good stretch of time without constantly re-buying.

HEX Original Condoms 36’s Pack

Now the 36’s pack is the “we know what we like and we’re not playing around” box. It’s bigger, obviously, and feels more like a long-term stash than a quick purchase.

Open it up and you get rows of individually wrapped HEX condoms – almost like a little condom library. If you hate the whole “oh no, we’re out” moment, this is the one. You buy it once and forget about it for… a while.

Taking a Closer Look at the Condoms Themselves

Once you tear open a foil, you can see what makes HEX different. The latex feels thin but not flimsy, and there’s a slight pattern you can spot if you look closely – that’s the famous hexagonal structure running through the material.

Inside the condom there’s a network of 350 tiny hexagonal cells that help distribute pressure and add strength without bulking up the thickness. That’s how they stay super thin (around 0.045–0.055 mm) while still being durable.

They’re made from natural latex, with a standard 54 mm diameter and 180 mm length, lightly lubricated (non-spermicidal), naturally colored, and slightly scented.

Nothing extreme – just enough to feel smooth and comfortable.

Another nice detail: every single condom is electronically tested, and they meet (and actually exceed) international safety standards, which is reassuring when you’re trusting a tiny barrier with a pretty big job.

Unboxing Vibes

Actually handling them, they don’t feel like the thick, plasticky condoms a lot of us grew up with. They’re soft, flexible, and the material has this slightly grippy feel that helps it stay put rather than sliding around. That comes from the internal hex web that gently hugs the wearer to reduce slippage.

The overall impression is very “premium but low-fuss.” No weird overpowering smell, no excessive lube mess everywhere, no crinkly old-school packaging that looks like it’s been in a vending machine since 1998.

Pack Size Deep-Dive – Which One’s for You?

• 3’s Pack – Perfect if you’re trying HEX for the first time, or you just want a tiny, pocketable pack. Ideal for travel, dates, or tossing into an overnight bag.
  

• 12’s Pack – The “sweet spot.” Great for regular use without constantly reordering. Easy to store, easy to grab, feels like a normal household essential.

• 36’s Pack – Your long-term stash. If you already know you like HEX or you’re in a relationship where condoms are your go-to, this is the most convenient and cost-effective size.

Functionally, the condoms are the same across all three boxes – same structure, same thinness, same feel. You’re just choosing how many you want to have on hand.

Key Features in Real-People Terms

• Re-engineered design – That hexagonal structure isn’t just for looks. It’s what lets the condom be thin and strong at the same time.
  

• Super thin – Around 0.045–0.055 mm, so you get more sensation and less “I feel like I’m wrapped in cling film.”
  

• Secure fit – The internal hex web helps the condom mold to the wearer and adds a gentle grip to limit slippage.
  

• Standard size – 54 mm diameter, 180 mm length, natural latex, so it fits most people comfortably.
  

• Quality checked – Each condom is electronically tested and meets strict safety standards, which is exactly what you want.

Unboxing all three LELO HEX Original packs side by side really drives home what they’re going for: modern, discreet protection that doesn’t feel like a compromise. The packaging looks smart enough to leave in your drawer without embarrassment, and the condoms themselves feel light, smooth, and thoughtfully designed.

If you’re curious, grab the 3’s pack and see how you like them. If you’re already sold on the idea of a thinner, high-tech condom, the 12’s or 36’s pack will make way more sense.

Either way, it’s nice to open a condom box and feel like you’ve upgraded, not just restocked.
