For a safe fern flower. Condom - how to find the right one?

Well-known, available, effective and reliable - condom has become almost synonymous with safe sex over time. It remains the only contraceptive that simultaneously protects against unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. If the condom is stored and used correctly, the effectiveness of the highest quality products can reach up to 98%. Sounds like an excellent ally in a fern flower quest, doesn't it? However, for various reasons, some partners still choose not to use it. In the article, we will disprove common misconceptions and introduce the wide range of condoms available today, in which even the most demanding will find the right one.

Size matters

It is no secret that just as no two bodies are alike, penises also differ in both shape and size. No matter how flexible condoms are, it should be taken into account that not all men will fit the standard variants easily bought at the store or gas station on the road. If the condom is too small, it presses, causes discomfort and may break. If it is too big - slide down. In both cases, sex becomes unsafe, but the discomfort prevents physical and mental enjoyment. The size of a standard condom is 52 mm, but, for example, the manufacturer My.Size Pro offers a range of sizes from 45 to 69 mm. The search for the perfect condom is really probably the only reason to measure your penis!

Not just latex

Often, women prefer other methods of contraception, because the unpleasant sensations they once experienced - itching, burning, unpleasant irritation - prevent them from using condoms. these symptoms suggest a latex allergy, but it is rarely the cause of the problem. Discomfort is most often caused by the fact that during sexual intercourse the condom dries quickly, friction is formed in the vagina and as a result - microtraumas, which later heal and cause a tingling sensation. It can be avoided by using plenty of lubricant before and during sex, which will make the process even more pleasant in any case.

Latex allergy occurs relatively rarely - for example, in the USA it affects less than 1% of the population. It should also be noted that its manifestations are revealed not only when using a condom, but also when inflating latex balloons or using household gloves and other products of this material.

However, whatever the considerations are - sensitivity to latex or dislike of its aroma - it is possible to choose no less durable polyurethane or polyisoprene alternatives, or latex-free condoms .

Second skin

Couples who want to have the most authentic experience possible and feel almost no barrier between their bodies, but at the same time take care of safety, can choose ultra-thin condoms . For comparison - if the popular Skyn Elite are 0.03-0.04 mm thick, then Ceylor offers only a 0.02 mm thick variant. The Swedish brand LELO can be considered the world Tesla of condoms, whose HEX condoms boast not only a thickness of 0.045 mm, but also other innovations - a different texture, a precisely fitting shape and uncompromising safety indicators. On the other hand, significantly thicker condoms are often chosen by partners for anal play.

Special effects for more fun

Thanks to the wide range, the condom has long been no longer just a means of protection, but also a useful accessory and helper on the way to the peaks of pleasure. Condoms with texture - various bumps and grooves - promote blood circulation in the vaginal walls. Although they are not overly sensitive in themselves, such stimulation contributes to the formation of arousal. Special sleeves are also available to create even more pronounced sensations.

However, not everything has to be rational, and some condoms are given additional functions just for fun. Among them are glow-in-the-dark condoms - all you have to do is indulge in your fantasies of what to do with them on Midsummer's Eve!

Safety in every situation

Although condoms are usually attributed to men as a means of protection, we should remind you that a woman can take the reins in this field as well! Female condoms , which are fixed in the vagina with two elastic rings, can be more convenient than traditional ones in some games. For example, if a couple wants to alternate between vaginal and anal sex, there is no need to change the condom on the member. Also, due to their size, they can be useful when using larger adult toys.

A separate article could be devoted to scented and flavored condoms , designed to protect a woman while giving oral sex to a man. Strawberries, blueberries, mint - all you have to do is choose your favorite flavor, and both will have wonderful moments of pleasure! Also, for safe cunnilingus without the risk of infection, special latex films or handkerchiefs are designed to be applied to the female genitals. You should always remember - no matter how good a condom or lubricant smells and tastes, they do not exclude taking care of hygiene.

Worth knowing

Condom breaking during sex instantly kills passion and creates unnecessary stress about the unsafe situation and its possible consequences. This scenario can be avoided by following some very simple precautions.

The condom should not be stored in a pocket or purse - as a result of friction, microcracks remain on the package, which can damage it.
Just like other products, it should be taken into account that condoms also have an expiration date, after which their quality may decrease.
Even if the night is very passionate, you should not open the condom package with your teeth - it may break without you noticing. The condom should be worn with the correct side and the entire length of the member.
The saying that the double doesn't break doesn't work for condoms. On the contrary, if pulled on top of each other, they will most likely tear or slip both!
Saliva is not a lubricant. They dry quickly and do not provide the desired slippage, causing significant friction and another chance for the condom to break. It is also not safe to use massage and other oils together with latex - it is important to use a water-based lubricant instead.

Tastes are different, so in order to find your favorites in the wide range of condoms, it is worth trying different options. When you get the perfect selection, there will be no doubt that a condom means not only safety, but also pleasure.
