What different condoms are there




















Find a better partner, a box of condoms you both love, and get to grindin', boo. This is a condom in its most basic form, without all the fixin's. It's great if you'd rather apply the lube yourself and don't really care for any bells and whistles beyond that.

These are the most commonly used types of condoms, proven to prevent pregnancy with a 98 percent efficacy when used correctly and STIs from spreading. Latex condoms are not, however, to be mixed with oils or oil-based lubricants, says Bill Albert, chief program officer at the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unwanted Pregnancy.

The oil can cause the condom to break or slip more easily. Use a water-or silicon-based lube instead. Some people are actually allergic to latex , and if that's the case with you or your partner, polyisoprene condoms are here for you. They block sperm and most viruses, too, just like their latex sisters. Searah Deysach, owner of the female-friendly sex shop Early to Bed , recommends Lifestyles Skyn if you're going the non-latex route.

They're thin and offer plenty of options. Fun fact: Olden-day condoms were made from intestines! These latex condoms boast "the strength of the thickest condom combined with the pleasure of the thinnest," due to the condom being structured with a hexagonal web-shape. AKA, these geometric rubbers are the condoms everyone would use in a movie to show that it's the year —they feel that future-y.

It kind of looks like a floppy elephant trunk, but it provides women with more control than the male condom since women insert it themselves rather relying on the guy to put a condom on," says Albert. Also, you can leave one in for up to eight hours before sex. The downside? All hail the classic Trojans that gave us a giggle in the drugstore back in the day.

Now, it's no laughing matter: We're straight-up grateful for the "enlarged head causing heat-induced friction " and ribbed shaft. You can get your latex dotted, ribbed, studded … there's bound to be something that's your style.

The various textures are designed to increase stimulation for you as you get it on, if that's your thing! If you've ever experienced any irritation down there, give these a go! If your partner struggles with premature ejaculation , these condoms reduce sensation so he can last longer.

Most condoms with warming action are latex, so if you're not good with latex, you may not be able to find condoms that offer the heated sensations. Most warming lube contains glycerol, which is a viscous sugar alcohol.

Perhaps you have tried condoms before and found them to be uncomfortable. Maybe the condoms you have worn have compromised your sensitivity levels so drastically that you had a hard time even keeping an erection. Ultrathin condoms, which are also marketed as extra-sensitive condoms, are a prime choice if your qualm about wearing a condom is the fact that you are not feeling enough during sex.

You can find ultrathins made out of both latex and polyurethane, but polyurethane condoms with the ultrathin attribute are most common. Ultrathin condoms have an unfair reputation for breaking, but these condoms should break no more than any regular condom with a regular thickness.

The number-one reason condoms break is improper use, not the fact the condoms are thinner, so use these condoms with confidence. Shop Promescent Ultrathin Condoms. However, some men who are far bigger than average do feel a bit of discomfort with the standard condom.

If you don't like condoms because every one you have worn has been too tight or too short for your penis, XL condoms are something to try. These condoms are designed for men who have more length or girth than what is standard. Keep in mind, however, buying and using XL condoms simply for the purposes of trying to impress someone is not the best idea. A loose condom is a surefire way to have the condom slip off during sex, which greatly compromises protection against STDs, STIs, or unplanned pregnancy.

Female condoms do not get a lot of attention, but they are a viable alternative if you are a guy who simply cannot find a condom that you like. These condoms are placed inside the vaginal opening, which can take a little practice to get just right. However, the female condoms have a high rate of failure because of the learning curve involved in getting them placed properly.

Some women are not comfortable with female condoms because they can be awkward to install, but many women claim the condom gives them power over making sure they have safe sex instead of leaving the idea to a male partner. Condoms can actually enhance the sexual experience. It's just a matter of finding commons with those added benefits and features. Modern sexual knowledge and technology have made way for some pretty tempting features in the world of male condoms.

Guys who previously may have found reasons not to wear condoms may find something among this group that is worth trying, whether for fun, extra safety or novelty reasons. Spermicide is a contraceptive gel that actually kills sperm or paralyzes it so it does not get the opportunity to move on for fertilization.

Some condoms are packaged with a dose of the contraceptive. Alone, spermicide is not all that effective at preventing pregnancy. According to the CDC , about 28 percent of women who rely solely on spermicide end up pregnant. However, when paired with a condom, the efficacy of spermicide goes up substantially. Plus, there is a high incidence of allergic reactions to spermicide, so be mindful of any irritation after use. Delay condoms are specifically designed to help guys who have issues with PE premature ejaculation.

The average man will only make it about seven minutes before they reach a climax point and ejaculate. The numbing agent inside of delay condoms absorbs into the skin of the penis, which reduces sensations to prolong ejaculation. Men who opt for these condoms are looking to enjoy sex longer. Does your partner ever have issues tracking down your penis in the dark?

Or, do you like seeing where your condom-covered penis is going in the dark? They include size charts for condoms available in different countries. TheyFit based in the UK makes 66 different condom sizes - 10 different lengths, and 10 different widths. The website also includes help with finding the right size. Latex condoms are the most widely available and are not expensive - so are the first choice for many couples.

Latex is very reliable at preventing pregnancy and STIs. However, irritation itching, redness, or rash may occur after using a latex condom, due to latex allergy. Non-latex condoms are certainly a great choice for men or their partners with latex allergies.

Some people prefer them because they feel different from latex condoms. There are many different varieties of non-latex condoms. The most common material used for non-latex condoms is polyurethane, but other materials such as lambskin are also sometimes used. Some people find lambskin condoms have less effect on sensation than latex, but lambskin is much less effective at protecting against STIs and preventing pregnancy.

A spermicide immobilises and destroys sperm and is often combined with a condom. That's because there's a slight risk of the spermicide damaging the latex.

A spermicide may also cause some irritation. Using a lubricant doesn't make the condom any more comfortable but does reduce the risk of the condom breaking or falling off because vaginal dryness can cause friction. Not all lubricants are compatible with condoms though. Water-based or silicone-based lubricants should be used instead.

Many people find ultra-thin condoms have less reduction in sensation and pleasure.
