What Is Condom?
A Condom Is a sheath-shaped barrier device used during sexual intercourse to reduce the probability of pregnancy or a sexually transmitted infection. There are both male and female condoms.
What Is Condom Used For?
Condoms are the best way to protect yourself against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unwanted pregnancy. Condoms are a barrier contraceptive made from latex rubber, a synthetic rubber called polyisoprene, a very thin plastic called polyurethane, or a synthetic material called nitrile.
Are Condoms Safe?
A condom is the best way to protect you from most sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). They must be used correctly and must be used every time you have sex. But even when used correctly, condoms do not protect against infections spread from sores on the skin (such as genital herpes ) not covered by a condom.
Are Condoms 100%?
So here’s the deal on condoms: when used correctly, they’re really effective (about 98%) at preventing both pregnancy and STDs but they don’t completely eliminate the risk. That’s because there is no 100% effective method of pregnancy prevention besides abstinence (not having sex at all).
Why Do Condoms Have Flavors?
Flavored condoms get their taste from flavoring added to the condom’s lubricant. This is generally accomplished by adding glucose or glycerin (glycerol) to the lube. Using flavored condoms for vaginal sex can lead to irritation and a yeast infection.
What Do Flavoured Condoms Taste Like?
Nowadays you can go buy flavoured condoms online that tastes and smells like orange, grape, mint, coffee, baingan and a lot more. Condoms are necessary while having sex; this is in order to protect oneself from STDs and avoid unexpected pregnancy.
Why Do Condoms Break?
The material used to make condoms can weaken over time, so don’t use one that has expired. Condoms may rip during use if they don’t fit properly or if they are not put on correctly (such as not leaving enough room at the tip of the condom).
Can Guys Feel When Condoms Break?
Men wearing condoms should be able to tell when they break they will feel a change in sensation. Their partners might not be able to feel the difference, so the responsibility lies with them.
What Size Condoms Do I Need?
Standard external condoms have a length of 7.25 inches to 7.8 inches. Snug external condoms have a length of 7 inches to 7.8 inches. Large external condoms have a length of 7.25 inches to 8.1 inches.
Why Are Condoms Longer?
Most condoms are longer than they need to be. If a person finds that there is too much roll at the base, they may need a snugger fit. If there is no roll left, they will require a larger condom. Girth is more important than length for condom fit, with girth being the thickest part of the erect penis.
Types Of Condoms?
There are 3 types of condoms: latex condoms, plastic (non latex) condoms, and lambskin (animal skin) condoms.
- Latex condoms
- Latex condoms are made from rubber.
- Latex condoms are the most common type of condom.
- Latex condoms help protect against both pregnancy and STDs.
- Only use water-based or silicone lube with latex condoms — don’t use anything with oil, because oil can damage latex condoms.
- Plastic condoms (AKA non latex condoms or latex free condoms)
- Plastic/non latex condoms are made from plastics like polyurethane, nitrile, or polyisoprene.
- Plastic/non latex condoms are safe for people with latex allergies or sensitivities.
- Plastic/non latex condoms help protect against both pregnancy and STDs.
- You can use water-based and silicone lube with any kind of plastic condom. You can generally use oil-based lubes with plastic condoms. If you’re not sure whether your lube is safe to use with your condoms, check the directions on the condom package.
- Lambskin condoms (aka animal skin condoms)
- Lambskin condoms are made from the lining of animal intestines (usually sheep).
- Lambskin condoms only help protect against pregnancy they don’t prevent STDs.
- Lambskin condoms are safe for people who are allergic or sensitive to latex.
- You can use any kind of lube, including oils, with lambskin condoms.
How Do I Use Condoms?
To use male condoms:
- Make sure the condom is in good condition and not torn or expired (check the date on the package).
- Carefully open the wrapper and take out the condom.
- Place it on the tip of your fully erect penis. The rolled side should be facing out. If you’re uncircumcised, pull back the foreskin first.
- Leave a half-inch of space at the tip where the semen can collect when you ejaculate. This helps prevent the condom from breaking. Some condoms have reservoir tips that leave the space for you.
- Pinch the air out of the tip of the condom.
- Unroll it all the way down your penis.
- Use enough lubrication so the condom doesn’t break. You can use a water-based lubricant, such as K-Y Jelly or Astroglide. Don’t use an oil-based lubricant such as Vaseline, body lotion, baby oil, or massage oil because it can weaken the latex and cause the condom to break.
- When sex is finished, but before your penis gets soft, grab the rim of the condom to hold it in place while you pull out. Gently pull out from your partner. Slide the condom off your penis, making sure you don’t spill any semen.
- Wrap the condom in a tissue and throw it away in a place where other people won’t touch it.
To use female condoms:
- Carefully open the wrapper and take out the condom.
- Get in a comfortable position, such as standing with one foot on a chair or squatting.
- Squeeze the sides of the inner ring at the closed end of the condom.
- Insert the condom into your vagina like you would a tampon.
- Use water-based lubricant to help prevent slipping and tearing.
- Push the condom in as far as it will go, until it rests against your cervix. The outer ring will hang outside your body slightly.
- Use your hand to guide your partner’s penis into the condom. If you feel the penis slipping between the condom and your vagina, stop sex.
- When sex is finished, twist the outer ring and pull it out. Throw it in the trash. Do not flush the condom or reuse it.
Tips for Proper Male Condom Use
You can put a male condom on at any time before or during sex.
- Make sure you don’t tear the condom when you open the package.
- Throw it out if it’s brittle, stiff, sticky, or expired.
- Put it on after your penis is erect and before it touches any part of your partner.
- Keep it on the entire time, from start to finish.
- Use a new one every time. That means for every erection.
- If the condom doesn’t have a reservoir tip, pinch the end to leave about a half inch of space to collect the semen when you ejaculate.
- If you feel it break or tear during sex, stop right away, pull out, and put on a new condom.
- When you remove it, make sure the semen doesn’t spill out.
Tips for Proper Female Condom Use
You should insert the condom before you plan to have sex.
- Put lubricant on the outside of the closed end to help it go in easier.
- Make sure the condom doesn’t get twisted when you put it in.
- Stop if you feel your partner’s penis slipping between the condom and your body, if the outer ring gets pushed into your body, or if you feel the condom slip out of place.
