What Are The Different Types Of Condoms
Condoms are the only form of contraception that helps reduce the probability of spreading sexually transmitted diseases, therefore it's vitally important to use one, especially when having casual sex. However, it's not always that easy to choose the condom that's right for you, especially if you're unfamiliar with the options available on the market. To help you find the perfect condom for your penis, we at OneHowTo have compiled a list of the different types of condoms available.
Classic condoms
All brands offer a classic condom which come in a standard size and thickness and are ideal for those wanting no-frills protection. Some brands come with lubrication applied to the condom as an added characteristic.
Anatomical condoms
If you're looking for a tailored fit condom, this is the best option for you. Anatomical condoms mould perfectly to the shape of the penis and come in a wide array of thicknesses for maximum comfort and heightened pleasure. Perfect for well-endowed men or those with a smaller package.
Ultra thin condoms
Men who complain about condoms reducing sensitivity and pleasure no longer have an excuse! Ultra thin condoms provide the same tingling pleasures as going 'au naturel'. Ideal for staying protected whilst maintaining comfort and sensitivity
Condoms with spermicide
Spermicide increases the contraceptive effect of condoms, so condoms with spermicide give you an extra boost of protection. These types of condoms are ideal for couples who don't use any other method of contraception such as the pill, or those who want the peace of mind that comes with extra reassurance. Perfect for the ultimate reassurance.
Condoms with a numbing sensation
Numbing condoms delay ejaculation and are therefore ideal for men who suffer from premature ejaculation or those who want to prolong sex for extended pleasure. They contain various substances that act as a mild aesthetic, reducing some sensations and enabling the man to last longer before ejaculation.
Lubricated condoms
Ideal for situations when extra lubrication is needed, e.g. in the case of vaginal dryness or when engaging in anal sex. This extra lubrication means the penis can be eased into the vagina/anus smoothly. Some also come with an added heating effect for enhancing sexual enjoyment.
Textured condoms
Textured condoms heighten arousal and sensitivity and are ideal for those looking to experiment a bit during sex. Lumps and ridges run along the length of the condom and are stimulating for both partners during penetration, which intensifies arousal and prevents either from becoming bored during sex.
Flavoured condoms
These are ideal for those wanting to practice safe oral sex as they prevent the transmission of STIs. Flavoured condoms also enhance the sexual experience and add a element of tantalising fun. From chocolate to fruit flavors, this really is an option to quench anyone's appetite.
Latex-free condoms
People allergic to latex can also enjoy safe sex by using polyurethane condoms. Fortunately, most brands offer this non-latex option.
