Condoms are not only a necessary item for the sexually active these days, however, they are one of the most easily obtained sexual items on the market. There are hundreds of options available all promising varying degrees of pleasure and protection. With the countless brands, textures, and even tastes out there it can be difficult to find exactly what you’re looking for, so here are some tips to help you find the perfect fit.
Where to shop
‘Eden Condoms’ feature iconic images of Adam and Eve on the packaging.
Since you can get condoms literally everywhere, it’s important to take the type of condom you’re looking for into consideration before deciding where to go. Drugstores, chain stores, and gas stations all carry generic cheap condoms. However, if you’re looking for specialty condoms that are more pleasure oriented you should consider sex shops or the internet.
Thrifty shopping
Sustain Condoms sources from the only fair trade rubber latex factory in the world. These socially conscious condoms are also vegan-friendly, which means they are not tested on animals.
If you don’t care for all the bells and whistles, and you just want something to wrap it when you tap it then free condoms may be perfect for you. Thanks to a government sponsored reproductive health and STD awareness programs free condoms are available across the country. Check out your local hospitals and health clinics. Even if you prefer higher end condoms it’s not a bad idea to have a few of the free options on hand just in case.
Quality Control
Lelo’s HEX Condom features a honeycomb pattern everywhere except for the tip, this condom claims to have more structural integrity and “added grip” than other condoms on the market.
While all condoms perform the same basic tasks, not all are created equally. Typically better quality condoms come with a higher price tag. If quality is what you’re looking for do a little research on the materials used, and the ISO rating of the manufacturer. What you’re primary reason for using the condom is should play a role in deciding what quality you need also. For example, if preventing pregnancy is your main objective then thinner materials creating a more natural feel with added spermicide may be the best choice for you.
Perfect fit
The Cannadom cannabis inspired condom tastes just like marijuana, and will give hemp lovers an fun and exciting twist to their romantic date night. At roughly two dollars a condom, this pot influenced prophylactic is sold online in packs of 50.
The most important part of all in condom selection is getting the right size. Wearing the wrong size condom is the same as wearing no condom at all. Make sure to check the packaging to ensure you have the right size. In most cases the sizes are: Small *3 – 4.5 inches*, Medium *4.5 – 6.5 inches*, Large *6.5 – 9 inches* and XL *9 inches and above*.
