Finding Your Fit: A Guide to Condom Sizes & Types

It is a topic not discussed in normal public conversation, but it is an important one nonetheless to talk about with both adults and teenagers at the beginning of their sexual experiences. If you are sexually active, it makes sense that you would do all that you can to protect not only yourself but your partner as well. This is why choosing the right size and kind of condom is so important, because not only will it stop you having babies when you are not ready, but it will also help to protect you from many different kinds of sexually transmitted diseases. This condom will be the one thing that will keep you safe but will also help to improve your sexual experience.

It is generally not a conversation that you can have with the person who works in the chemist or the department store, and is one of the reasons why many people like to buy condoms online, because they can find all of the information they need to make a more informed choice. The following are some of the top tips to help you choose wisely when it comes to the size of your condom and the different types.

• Choose the right size – You need to consider that if you buy a condom that is too small, there is a likelihood that it might break, and if you buy one that is too big, it might slip off and therefore will be totally ineffective. It will also make the whole sexual experience uncomfortable, this is why you need to choose the correct size. This is when you measure up your penis and you should measure from the base to the tip. Using a piece of string is incredibly effective here, and don’t forget about circumference as well. There is no room for male pride here, so measure truthfully
• Choose the right type – There are many different types of condoms to choose from, even though you have your size, there is a lot more to think about. The most popular one that people buy is latex because it is incredibly strong, great for a better sexual experience and is incredibly effective. If you have an allergy then polyurethane may be the condom of choice for you.
• Consider the features – There are many different features the condoms provide including ones that are textured. This allows you to purchase condoms with ridges that create more friction and enhance your, and your partner’s sexual experience. There are also flavoured condoms to choose from if you want to indulge in some oral foreplay, you can choose strawberry, chocolate and if you are a vegan then there are actually condom tastes created for you as well.

Even when you choose the right kind of condom for you, you need to make sure that you use it properly. Make sure it is not expired, make sure the wrapper is not damaged and don’t use your teeth to open it.
