Latex condoms are the most common and affordable. They’re durable and usually won’t rip if they are used with a water-based lubricant, such as K-Y or Astroglide. Some major brands of latex condoms are Trojan, LifeStyles and Durex.
Polyurethane or polyisoprene condoms can be harder to find. They’re also very durable, and some people say these condoms provide even greater sensations than those made out of latex. Polyurethane and polyisoprene condoms are a great alternative for people with latex allergies and can be used with any kind of lubricant because this material does not break down as easily. The most popular brands of polyurethane condoms are Durex Avanti or Trojan Supra condoms.
Natural skin condoms do not protect against STDs because they have tiny pores (holes) that can allow STDs to pass through. They do protect against pregnancy, and some people use them only for that purpose.
There are also flavored condoms. These are designed to be used during oral sex. STDs can be spread through unprotected oral sex or skin-to-skin contact if semen or vaginal fluid gets into a partner’s mouth or if a partner touches an infected area that is not covered by the condom. The flavored latex condoms help reduce the risk of getting an STD through oral sex. Flavored condoms shouldn’t be used for vaginal or anal sex. The sugary substances that make them taste good can also cause infections. You can find flavored or polyurethane condoms in most drugstores or grocery stores.
Female condoms are a soft, loose-fitting polyurethane or nitrile sheath and offer protection during vaginal and anal sex as well. This device has two flexible rings to hold it in place. The smaller ring goes inside the vagina and holds it in place. The wider ring remains outside the vagina during vaginal sex or the anus during anal sex.
No matter what type or brand of condom you choose, it’s important to learn how to use them.
