Condoms

What are condoms made of?

Condoms are made from various materials. Latex condoms are popular due to the fact that they are extremely durable. With proper use, it’s highly unlikely for a latex condom to break during sex. One of the biggest problems of latex condoms is that they can be damaged by oil-based lubricants, such as petroleum jelly or baby oil. Some people may also be allergic to latex, requiring them to find an alternative.

Fortunately, there are also synthetic condoms, which are mainly made from polyurethane. It is just as good as latex and, in many ways, better than it. People with latex allergies should look for condoms that say “latex-free”.

What types of condoms are there?

There are several big brands behind condoms, including Durex, SKYN and Rocky, who offer condoms for every occasion or desire. You will undoubtedly discover your preference also. Finding the right condom size is as important as wearing one. Here is a brief overview of the types of condoms you can get:

Textured condoms – These also include ribbed and studded condoms. They are condoms that have patterns and textures over the surface. The result is that every thrust produces more stimulation for your partner.

Flavoured condoms – These will delight your taste buds especially if you or your partner loves oral sex. Flavoured condoms have tasty flavours that are safe for your skin or your mouth. It makes sex incredibly fun and satisfying at the same time.

Thin condoms – Some people may not like using condoms because they say it takes away the feeling. Fortunately, there are thin condoms, also known as real-feel condoms. They are made extremely thin, but still safe, meaning it’s as if you’re not wearing a condom at all.

Which lube should I use with condoms?

It is safest to opt for water-based lube or silicone-based lube when using a condom. Oil-based lubes could potentially damage your condom, especially if it is latex. Also remember that if you plan on using toys as well during sex, only use water-based lube if your toy is silicone.

How to use a condom

Condoms are extremely effective in protecting people from STIs. However, that’s only if they are used properly. Follow these simple steps when using a condom to have a safe experience.

1) Open the condom packaging and remove the condom. Don’t use your teeth or scissors as that may damage the condom.

2) Pinch the tip of the condom and unroll it slightly to make sure it is that right way up, then place it over the head of your penis.

3) While still pinching the tip of the condom, slowly unroll the condom over your penis using your other hand and extend it all the way to the base of your penis.
