In the realm of sexual health, one thing that’s often overlooked is the importance of finding the right condom for you. Condoms, just like the anatomy they are made for, come in all shapes and sizes and your selection can impact your pleasure and safety during sex.

“While size is a common consideration, opting for XL size – especially if someone else is watching – might not necessarily enhance your experience in the bedroom. Beyond size, the material and feel of a condom can play a crucial role in enhancing performance when it matters most.” explains Vicki Lyons of sexual wellness brand Bodyjoys.

Extra-thin condoms

Ultra-thin condoms are the ultimate in extreme pleasure and confidence. They’re required to pass the same checks as regular and thick condoms in terms of safety, so they reduce the risk of pregnancy but are also closest to a natural feel.

An extra thin condom gives you the pleasure you’re seeking but doesn’t compromise on essential safe-sex elements.

Ribbed condoms

Ribbed condoms are an amazing pleasure enhancer with no added effort from you. To drive your partner wild, the extra nodules and ribs on the condoms can act as light caresses that intensify pleasure and rub against the most important nerve endings as you thrust.

If you get the angle just right, you’ll be able to drive your partner wild, just by using your usual moves.

Flavoured condoms

Flavoured condoms add an extra level of excitement to the bedroom. Condoms come in every flavour imaginable, so you’re guaranteed to find one that your partner can’t get enough of.

Encouraging your partner to get a taste for oral sex is always going to benefit you with increased frequency – they might even start to suggest it without you prompting!And it’s a way for you both to protect against STIs too.

Latex-free condoms

Latex-free condoms are the obvious choice for those with allergies. They give you the opportunity to have safe sex without the fear of allergic complications.

But they’re not just designed with allergies in mind. Non-latex condoms are also a good choice for anyone who desires a skin-on-skin feel. You’ll forget you’re wearing one, making sex more natural and sensual.

Extra-safe condoms

Let’s get back to basics. Condoms were originally intended to protect your health and that of your partner. Staying safe from STIs and preventing unwanted pregnancy is probably still your primary goal, so sometimes thicker is better.

Extra-safe, thicker condoms can also help to delay gratification, meaning you last longer and get a more powerful orgasm at the end.

The right size condom

With condoms, it’s all about girth, not length – so you can relax without judgement!While you might feel a little cringey selecting small condoms, if they’re the right fit for you, your partner will thank you for it.

Using amagnum-size condom that’s too big for your erection is likely to cause embarrassment later if it happens to come off midway through the act. This could also make sex much less safe.

Condoms that fit snugly but aren’t too tight are the ideal solution because you’ll get the most natural feeling this way.
