[Unboxing] LELO HEX Respect XL: Premium Condoms for Style, Comfort & Confidence

I’ve got the 3’s pack, the 12’s pack, and the big 36’s pack in front of me, so if you’re wondering which box is “so me”, let’s dig in.

First impressions

Right away, the packaging feels… grown-up. No neon “EXTREME XXX” nonsense, just deep brown, gold detailing and clean typography. It looks more like a designer chocolate box than a box of condoms, which I love if you share a bathroom or keep things on your nightstand.

The Respect XL branding is clear but not shouting. It’s giving: “Yes, I’m prepared, and yes, I have taste.”

The 3’s pack – the pocket wingman

The 3-pack is tiny and super portable. Think: weekend away, or a “try before you commit to a whole drawer of them” situation.

Unboxing it, the flap opens smoothly and inside you get three individually wrapped condoms lined up like little tiles. The foils match the outer box – dark, minimal, luxe. No crinkly bargain-bin vibe; they feel sturdy but not bulky, so you can slip one in your wallet or travel bag without turning it into a brick.

This is the one I’d throw into an overnight bag or keep in a makeup pouch… just in case.

The 12’s pack – nightstand material

The 12-pack is basically the “I’ve found something I like” box. It’s taller, more like a slim hardcover book. When you open the top, the condoms are stacked in two neat columns, so you can grab one without the rest exploding everywhere.

The unboxing feeling here is very “restocking the household essentials” but make it chic. It’s the right size to live in your bedside drawer without hogging space. If you’re in a relationship or you just like being consistently prepared, this is the practical sweet spot.

The 36’s pack – go big or go home

Now the 36-pack is a whole commitment. The box is wider, with the same minimalist design, and when you open it, you get rows and rows of those dark foils. It honestly looks a bit like a fancy chocolate assortment.

This is the box for people who:

• Know they like Respect XL
  

• Don’t want to keep reordering
  

• Or just enjoy the quiet satisfaction of opening the drawer and seeing a full stash
  

Unboxing it feels almost professional – like you’re stocking your own little boutique.

A closer look at the condoms themselves

No matter which box size you pick, the condom inside is the same LELO HEX Respect XL design. Once you tear open a foil (which opens cleanly, no wrestling), you get a natural-coloured, lightly lubricated condom with a very subtle scent.

What you can’t fully see, but you can feel if you roll it between your fingers, is the famous internal hexagonal structure – 350 tiny hex cells that create a sort of flexible “mesh”. The idea is strength plus thinness, so you get a secure feel without that thick rubbery vibe. Respect XL is made from natural latex, with a 58 mm diameter and around 195 mm length, and the wall is super thin – about 0.045 mm. They’re lubricated (non-spermicidal) and designed specifically for a roomier, less restrictive fit.

Rolling one on (on a toy or, you know, the real thing) you can feel the difference in fit compared to standard sizes. It grips enough to stay put, but it doesn’t feel like it’s squeezing the life out of anyone. The latex feels smooth rather than sticky, and because they’re so thin, you don’t get that heavy “I’m wearing armor” sensation.

Unboxing vibes & who each pack is for

• 3’s pack:
  Perfect if you’re curious about HEX Respect XL and just want to try them out, or you need a small, discreet pack for travel. It’s the “date weekend” box.
  

• 12’s pack:
  Great for couples or regular use. You unbox it once, tuck it somewhere handy, and you’re sorted for a while without taking up much space.
  

• 36’s pack:
  This is the “I know what I like, and I’m planning ahead” option. Unboxing it feels almost satisfying in a Costco-but-make-it-designer kind of way. Ideal if you never want that awkward “uh… we’re out” moment.
  

Honestly, unboxing the LELO HEX Respect XL range feels less like opening condoms and more like opening a premium lifestyle product. The boxes are discreet but stylish, the foils look expensive, and the condoms themselves feel thoughtfully engineered rather than generic.

If you (or your partner) need that extra bit of width and hate feeling squeezed or restricted, these are absolutely worth unboxing in your own bedroom – whether you start with the cute little 3’s pack or go straight for the big 36’s.
