Condoms

Why use condoms?

Condoms offer important benefits both when having sex and using sex toys. They protect against STIs and unwanted pregnancies, and reduce the risk of infection by limiting contact between body fluids. With sex toys, condoms contribute to hygiene, especially if the toys are shared with a partner. This contraceptive is easy to use, available in several varieties and ensures safe, worry-free pleasure during intimate moments.

Different types of condoms

Condoms come in many different types and are specially designed to meet a variety of needs and desires. Whether you are looking for extra comfort, unique textures, or products suitable for allergies, each type of condom offers benefits for specific situations and preferences. Here is an overview of the most common types and what they can be used for:

Standard latex condoms

Latex condoms are the most common option and offer reliable protection against STIs and unwanted pregnancies. Suitable for people without latex allergies and compatible with water- and silicone-based lubricants.

Colour condoms

Condoms with colours add a playful touch to your sex life. They offer the same protection as standard condoms, but with extra visual flair. Great for couples looking for variety.

Large condoms

For those who need more space and comfort, extra-large condoms are an ideal choice. They offer more space around the base and top and provide a comfortable fit.

Extra lubricated condoms

These condoms have extra lubricant to make penetration easier and more pleasurable. This is especially useful for people who often suffer from dryness or discomfort during sex.

Flared condoms

Flared, or wide, condoms have extra space at the top, providing more comfort and sensation when used. This type is ideal for people who prefer a wider fit around the head of the penis.

Flavour condoms

Flavour condoms are ideal for oral sex, replacing the latex with flavours such as strawberry, chocolate, or mint. This makes oral sex more pleasurable without the taste of latex.

Orgasm-delaying condoms

These condoms contain a mild sedative that helps to delay orgasm, allowing the sexual experience to last longer. They are suitable for men who want to prevent premature ejaculation.

Female condoms

These condoms are inserted internally into the vagina and offer an alternative to standard external condoms. They are ideal for women who want more control during sex.

Condoms with ridges and nubs

These condoms have textures such as ridges and nubs to provide extra stimulation for both partners during sex. They are especially popular with couples looking for extra stimulation without new toys.

Extra firm condoms

These are thicker and firmer than standard condoms and are often used for anal sex or for those who want extra security. They are designed to be more resistant to tearing.

Stimulating condoms

Stimulating condoms often have a special design, texture, or addition such as warming or tingling lubricant to intensify the experience. Ideal for couples looking for new sensations.

Latex-free condoms

Latex-free condoms are made of materials such as polyurethane or polyisoprene and are suitable for people with latex allergies. They offer the same protection against STIs and unwanted pregnancies as latex condoms and can be used with different types of lubricants.

How to use a condom

• Choose the right size
• A condom must fit well to be safe and comfortable. A condom that is too big can be loose, increasing the risk of slipping, while one that is too tight can obstruct blood flow and cause discomfort. Measure both the length and circumference of your penis to find the right size.
• Stock up
• Always handy to have several condoms with you, as something can always go wrong. If you only have one on hand and it breaks, it can interrupt your pleasure.
• Open the pack carefully
• Tear the pack from the middle without using sharp objects such as nails to avoid tearing. A fallen condom is no longer hygienic, so make sure it ends up on a clean surface or in your hands.
• Make sure you have the right side
• To unroll the condom properly, the rolling edge should be on the outside. This is easier to check with a little light. Hold the rolling edge outwards so that the latex ‘hat’ is formed; this is the right side.
• Unroll the condom
• Place the condom on the head of the penis and squeeze the tip to let air out. Using your other hand, gently roll the latex all the way down to the base of the penis.
• Avoid extra touching
• After insertion, it is wise not to pull or shift the condom to avoid tearing or damaging it. If the condom does not fit properly, replace it with a new one for maximum protection and comfort.

Choose the right condom size

Finding the right condom size starts with accurate measurements of both the length and girth of the erect penis. The girth is usually the most important for a good fit. Measure with a tape measure or use a string around the widest point of the erection; compare this circumference with the recommended sizes of different condoms.

• Snug fit: For a circumference under 11 cm.
• Standard size: Suitable for 11-12.5 cm circumference.
• Large size: For circumferences over 12.5 cm.

A condom size that is too tight can be uncomfortable, while one that is too wide can slip. Many brands offer different sizes for optimal comfort and safety, so try out different ones to find out what works best.
