Be it to avoid unwanted pregnancies or prevent sexually transmitted diseases and infections, condom usage is always recommended. There are many different types of condoms now available, which means there is one for every occasion and every kind of need.
You don’t have to stick to one kind, you don’t have to keep using one that isn’t catering to your preferences.
Here are 10 types of condoms every man should
know about:
The most common variety of condoms is made from latex, a derivative of plastic. They’re also cost-effective, hence the most widely used. But they’re also infamous for reducing the skin-to-skin feeling the most, compared to all other kinds of condoms.
Instead of plastic, non-latex condoms are made of polyurethane. Don’t go by the name - these are fast gaining popularity. These work just as well as their latex counterparts, and also provide more pleasure because of a thinner texture.
The raised dots on the condom help increase sexual pleasure, by causing friction between its layer and the skin. However, too much of this friction could also cause mild irritation and/or rashes, so it’s best to exercise some caution.
These are best used for oral sex, to help mask the smell and/or taste of both the genitals as well as the latex used to manufacture the condom. There are now a wide variety of flavours for you to choose from so feel free to go beyond the obvious ones.
It’s advisable to use flavoured condoms only for oral sex as the artificial flavours used for these condoms could cause a yeast infection if used for vaginal sex.
If you don’t want any artificial flavours, or maybe you’re in the mood for something classic, unflavoured condoms are your best bet. They are the ‘regular’ condoms with no flavour of their own.
One of the biggest reasons why some people prefer not to use a condom is because the extra layer of a condom reduces pleasure by curtailing the skin-to-skin feeling. If you’re one of these people, opt for thin and/or ultra-thin condoms that are slimmer than the usual condoms, and designed in a way so as to make you feel that you aren’t even wearing one!
These are similar to dotted condoms, except that instead of having small dots on the upper layer, these have ribs in the pattern.
For those who can’t be bothered to use external lubrication and/or dealing with a lack of natural lubrication, these condoms come in handy. Lubricated condoms come with an extra layer of lubrication, making it easier to enter and pull out. Also, these are effective in reducing chances of condom breakage during the act as well as chafing.
As the name suggests, tingling condoms provide a tingling sensation to both partners during sexual intercourse, which helps heighten pleasure.
These ones glow in the dark, so you can be rest assured there’ll be no struggle to find the tools, should there be such a situation. But then, if there is such a situation, then you might have to rethink the entire scenario!
