Condoms For Everyone
In your first sex-ed class, whether it was in a classroom, at camp with your peer counselor or home with your parents, you were probably taught about the importance of using condoms during sexual intercourse, especially if you weren’t ready to have babies, or worse contract an STD.
Nowadays, there are several non-condom birth control options available to both men and women that are even more effective at preventing unwanted pregnancies than condoms. Plus, for some people, condoms are more of a hindrance than anything else and can ruin the fun.
Yet still, there is the issue of spreading and contracting STDs therefore condoms will always be relevant until an alternative is available. For that very reason, condom companies have gone above and beyond to create condoms that target the specific issues consumers have with conventional condoms.
This article is all about novelty condoms and finding a perfect fit for you or your partner. Keep reading to learn more about the available options!
CONDOMS FOR HIM
When you hear men complain about condoms, it’s either about them coming in sizes too small or too large to fit their penis, or that sex doesn’t feel as good with them in situ. Here are some condoms that will solve these issues
1. Condoms for Large penises
While you may think being well endowed is a great thing, for some men, protection becomes an issue since the condoms sizes they have easy access to are too small. When condoms are too small, they feel tight and uncomfortable and are very likely to tear or rip during sex due to friction. This leaves both parties exposed and the risk of pregnancy and STDs increase significantly.
This issue has not gone unnoticed, and several condom companies offer sizes past Large, such as xL and even XXL. Here are a few:
Trojan Magnum XL Large Size Lubricated Condoms – 12 Count
Kimono Microthin XL Extra Large, 36
Durex XXL Extra Large Lubricated Condoms, 12 Count
2. Condoms For Small Penises
If you’re neither a grower nor a shower, and the condoms you buy tend to slip off regardless of brand, then you might need a smaller condom with a closer fit. No shame in that. Better safe than sorry.
Besides, condoms that are too big for you tend to be baggy and reduce the amount of pleasure you can experience.
Maybe these can help:

3. Thin and Ultra-Thin Condoms
Some condoms feel more like armor than anything else and can even make it difficult for some guys to orgasm during sex. And you can probably guess what happens, that “one time” without a condom and the promise to pull out leads to pregnancy or infection.
Avoid this altogether by shopping for thin condoms that give you the maximum sensation a condom can offer. Some are even made out of materials other than latex that are much thinner, but can be a bit pricey and are less durable.
Some include:
Trojan Ultra Thin Premium Lubricated Condoms – 12 Count
LifeStyles SKYN Original Condoms, 24 Count (Pack of 1)
Sustain Natural Latex Condoms – Ultra Thin – FDA Cleared – Nitrosamine Free – Non GMO – Fair Trade – 10 Count
4. Warming condoms
What makes sex with an actual person way different than a sex toy? Well, the answer my friends is warmth.
Sure, a sex toy can feel tight and moist, but nothing beats the natural warmth of a human partner. Condom companies realized this and have rolled out their own lines of warming condoms. These have a special type of lubricant which warm up from the friction generated during sex, intensifying the experience for both him and her.
Some condoms even offer both a warming and a cooling sensation at the same time. Have a look at these:
Trojan Pleasures Fire and Ice Dual Action Lubricated Condoms, 3 Count
Contempo Bareback Supersensitive Condoms 12 x 3 Condom Packs = 36 Condoms!
Condoms, Natural Latex Condoms, Durex Condom Pleasure Pack Assorted Condoms, 42 Count An Exciting Mix of Sensation and Stimulation,
5. Prolonging condoms
If you’re a guy who can’t last the entire marathon, here’s something you might be interested in: prolonging condoms.
Prolonging condoms contain a special type of lubricant or numbing gel which desensitizes the penis giving any man the ability to hold out much longer than ever before. This can impress your one night stand and have her craving more, or surprise your long term partner with your prowess in bed.
And, you don’t have to worry about protection either because they are built just as strong as regular condoms. Here are a few:
Durex Condom Prolong Natural Latex Condoms, 12 Count – Ultra Fine, ribbed and dotted with delay lubricant
Trojan Pleasures Extended – Extend Your Pleasure With Just A Hint Of Numbing Agent 12pk
Kamasutra Long Lasting Condom (Set of 3, total 36 condoms)
CONDOMS FOR HER
Some people believe that the type of condom used doesn’t matter to her as much as it matters to him. If you’re one of those people, no need to raise your hand and expose yourself. Just expel those thoughts completely.
Women can feel differences in condoms and many were designed especially for her comfort and pleasure. These include:
1. Studded/ribbed/grooved/dotted/combination
These condoms are not like regular condoms with a smooth exterior. These are textured with raised ridges which help to increase stimulation and enhance the sexual experience altogether by increasing friction.
Some even have texture inside layer so your partner can join in on the extra fun. They are also relatively inexpensive and can come in variety packs so you and your partner can experiment to find out what both like better.
Here are a few examples:
Playboy Condoms Studded Pleasure Premium Lubricated Condoms, 36 Count
NottyBoy Multi Textured Condom Ribbed | Dotted | Contour, 30ct
Trojan Stimulations Ultra Ribbed Lubricated Condoms, 36ct
2. Extra lubricated condoms
One of the biggest complaints from women when it comes to sex is inadequate lubrication, and while lube can fix most of these issues, it is sometimes too messy and takes the fun out of it.
Extra lubricated condoms, as the name suggests provide extra lubrication which helps to make sex more comfortable and enjoyable for her. They are also great for anal sex!

Non-latex condoms
Many women across the world suffer from latex allergies which makes sex with conventional condoms unpleasant. This is where non-latex condoms come in.
Polyurethane condoms: This non-latex option is a plastic-like material made from plant proteins that offer the same benefits as latex condoms. They are also thinner, which means they break easier, but gives both parties a more enjoyable experience at a higher price point.
- Trojan Supra Lubricated, 6 Count
- Polyisoprene condoms: This is a type of latex condom made in a lab minus the plant proteins which cause allergic reactions. The difference is they are not as thin and fit more snuggly than latex condoms.

- Condoms, Non Latex Durex Avanti Bare Real Feel Condom, 10 ct HSA Eligible
- Female condoms:
- Female condoms are made of up of a synthetic rubber called nitrile and are used internally, meaning they are placed over the vulva and inside of the vagina. These are perfect for her complete protection but the main drawback to these condoms is the transition from tradition and figuring out how to use these types of condoms properly. They are also way more expensive than regular condoms.

CONDOMS FOR FUN
Condoms for fun are typically not as effective as conventional condoms or any of the aforementioned condoms since their designs are focused on pleasure and not functionality. These help to spice up things in the bedroom, especially during oral sex and should not be relied on as a primary means of protection and birth control
1. Flavored/edible
Flavored condoms are used primarily for oral sex since regular latex condoms have an unpleasant taste. They help to make the experience pleasant for both parties, especially if the other does not enjoy the taste of ejaculate.
Edible condoms are pretty much the same thing, except you can actually consume them. This should be a clear sign that they are not for vaginal or anal sex but just to be clear, DO NOT USE THEM FOR INTERCOURSE. If you do, you run this risk of STDs, pregnancy and vaginal infections.
Flavored and edible condoms may also be scented and come in many different flavors from cherry and chocolate to even bacon and whiskey.

2. Glow in the dark
Glow in the dark condoms are made of a special material that glows after being exposed to light for a set period of time, usually under a minute. Many of these are FDA approved and help to prevent STDs and pregnancy, but there are many on the market with false and misleading claims.
To avoid any complications, you should use this type of condom for foreplay and oral sex and leave intercourse to trusted brands.Night Light Glow in the Dark Latex Condoms Bulk [A New Experience with Your Partner]- 12 Lubricant Latex Condom
