If so, can you tell me exactly what they are supposed to do?

All condoms and lubricants basically have the same function. The condom goes over the entire penis. It "collects" the pre-ejaculate and semen, prohibiting the transfer of bodily fluids. The lubricant "moistens" the condom, reducing the friction, thus reducing chance of breakage, and increasing comfort.

The difference between regular condoms and ribbed condoms is that ribbed condoms are ribbed. They just have these little ripples in the latex that increase sensation for SOME people. I say some because not everyone can feel a difference. I love ribbed condoms, and I can feel an increase in sensation, but my bestfriend doesn't feel a thing. So you might as well try it out, and see if it does anything for you, but if it doesn't, don't be too surprised.

either case, it's a good brand. personally, i'm rather fond of the textured ones.
