But condom width is also important, and most regular condoms have a width of 1. And if you get the wrong size and the worst happens — fear not. We explain what to do if your condom breaks.
Some condoms will have more room at the tip than others as well, says Finn, which may be an additional factor to consider when selecting your winner. Get what makes you feel good and have sex comfortably. Lube can help cut down on the bad friction that can make a condom more apt to tear or drag on the body where it feels uncomfortable.
This can help you feel great in a wider range of condom sizes. Just make sure your lube is silicone-based or water-based. Lube is a key player in anal sex — learn more about putting things in your butt, or the butts of others, here. If your partner has a latex-sensitive nose, either of these could be a good compromise. Flavored condoms may be a good choice for blow job enthusiasts. However, some can find the flavoring chemicals cause irritating when entering a vagina or anus, so have a non-flavored option around if you take play in that direction.
We took a closer look — and sniff — at flavored condoms and why they exist. Do not open the packet with your teeth. Place the condom over the tip of the erect penis. If there's a teat on the end of the condom, use your thumb and forefinger to squeeze the air out of it. Gently roll the condom down to the base of the penis.
If the condom will not roll down, you may be holding it the wrong way round. If this happens, it may have sperm on it, so throw it away and try again with a new one. After sex, take out the penis while it's still erect — hold the condom on at the base of the penis while you do this. Remove the condom from the penis, being careful not to spill any semen. Throw the condom away in a bin, not down the toilet. Make sure your penis does not touch your partner's genital area again. If you have sex again, use a new condom.
Using lubricant Condoms come lubricated to make them easier to use, but you may also like to use additional lubricant lube. Condoms with spermicide Some condoms come with spermicide on them. Who can use condoms? Some people are allergic to latex condoms. If this is a problem, polyurethane or polyisoprene condoms are less likely to cause an allergic reaction.
If you have difficulty keeping an erection, you may not be able to use condoms because the penis must be erect to prevent semen from leaking or the condom slipping off.
Advantages and disadvantages of condoms Some advantages of using condoms: When used correctly and consistently, they are a reliable method of preventing pregnancy and protecting both partners from STIs, including chlamydia , gonorrhoea and HIV. You only need to use them when you have sex — they do not need advance preparation and are suitable for unplanned sex. In most cases, there are no medical side effects from using condoms. They are easy to get hold of and come in a variety of shapes, sizes and flavours.
Some disadvantages include: Some couples find that using condoms interrupts sex — to get around this, try to make using a condom part of foreplay. Condoms are very strong but may split or tear if not used properly. If this happens to you, practise putting them on so you get used to using them. Some people may be allergic to latex, plastic or spermicides, but you can get condoms that are less likely to cause an allergic reaction. When using a condom, you have to pull out after you have ejaculated and before your penis goes soft, holding the condom firmly in place.
Can anything make condoms less effective? Truth: Using 2 condoms is not better than 1 as they are more likely to break. It's best to only use 1 condom at a time, and put it on correctly.
Myth: Condoms break easily. Truth: No they do not. You just need to put it on carefully. Make sure there's no air bubble at the end by squeezing the top as you roll it down. Be careful of sharp nails, jewellery or teeth. Never try to turn a condom the other way round as there could already be sperm on the tip it's sometimes released before ejaculation. Throw it away and use a new condom. If a condom breaks and you're not using any other contraception, go to a sexual health clinic, pharmacist or GP as soon as possible and ask about emergency contraception.
You may also need to get tested for sexually transmitted infections STIs. This applies if you are having sex with a woman or a man. Myth: Condoms are the only type of contraception I need to think about. Truth: No they're not. Condoms can provide protection from STIs and unplanned pregnancy. But if you want to avoid an unplanned pregnancy, it's better if you and your partner use a condom along with another type of contraception.
There are lots of different types of contraception , including the implant, injection, coil or the pill. Note: Some of these numbers are very similar, but even a small change in width can make the difference between a condom that enhances your pleasure and one that hinders it. Note: Naturalamb condoms are a natural product and vary in width. All measurements are approximate.
