Condoms are the best way to prevent sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies.
The advantage of condoms is also that they can be combined with other types of contraception, such as pills.
No contraceptive is 100% effective, but there is nothing to worry about when this type of combination is used.
Condoms have no side effects, on the contrary, they can bring you and your dear half a pleasant pleasure.
Some types need to be endowed with the possibility of increasing sensitivity.
With its many benefits, it's no surprise that a lot of individuals put it on before every sexual intercourse.
But what type is best?
What is the least felt and what is the right size?
You will find the answer to all these questions below.
Types of condoms
Condoms have been on the market for some time now, so manufacturers have had the opportunity to bring this type of contraception to a very satisfactory level.
They are made of different types of material.
The most common material you come across when choosing a condom is latex.
It is an effective barrier that is both thin and very flexible.
The only disadvantage of latex is that it does not transfer heat, it can reduce exciting feelings.
It is best to use a water- or silicone-based lubricant on the latex condom.
However, many people are allergic to latex, which is why manufacturers have also come up with polyisoprene or polyurethane products.
Polyurethane is better at heat transfer, so if you appreciate this advantage, reach for this type rather than latex.
In addition to the material, you can choose from a number of different surfaces.
If you come across a condom named scalloped in the store, don't hesitate and reach for it!
Knurled condoms will bring you and your dear half even more pleasure.
Many others are worth trying:
- flavored condoms,
- glowing condoms,
- irritating condoms (thanks to their gel they evoke ant and tingling sensations).
Choosing the right condom size
Unfortunately, condoms are not one size fits all.
According to research, up to 50 percent of users of this type of contraception had problems with tightness, freedom or slipping.
For a pleasant flow of exciting moments, it is necessary to choose the right size.
First you need to measure your penis, in the erect stage.
Use a meter or ruler to measure the length from where the limb attaches to the body to its tip.

In this case, it is necessary to use a tailor's tape or string, wrap it in the widest place.
