Deciding on the Best Condoms for You

When it comes to deciding which condoms are the best condoms, you need to consider your own personal needs and likes.  After all, what feels good and works for one person is not necessarily so great for another person – that’s why you will find so many different types of condoms to select from when you head out to the store or when you shop online!

First of all, you might be surprised to find that there are actually different shapes of condoms available.  Obviously, the best condoms are the ones that best fit your shape and size.  When you go shopping for condoms, you will find that there are condoms with straight sides, form fitting condoms that are indented below the head, and those that are flared so they are wider over the head.  You might need to experiment with different shapes in order to determine which of these are the best condoms for you.

Some condoms also come with reservoir tips.  For some people, these are the best condoms because they do not have to pinch their own reservoir at the tip of the condom.  Others think the best condoms are those without the tip because they find the built in tip to be irritating.

The texture of the condom is another factor that you need to consider.  For some, the best condoms are those that contain bumps or ribs because they increase the sensation for both partners.  Others think the best condoms are the ones that are thin and smooth because they believe these condoms feel more natural. 

You can also choose to purchase flavored condoms.  Obviously, flavored condoms won’t do a whole lot if you are planning to simply have intercourse.  If you are using the condom for oral sex, however, these might be the best condoms for you and your partner because traditional condoms can be unpleasant to taste.  These condoms are generally safe for other forms of sex too, however, so don’t be afraid to use one if that is what you have on hand.

Remember, when choosing the best condoms for you, you should discuss your options with your partner.  You certainly want the condom to be comfortable for you, but your partner may also prefer a certain type of condom because of the enhanced pleasure or safety it provides.  In addition, some people are allergic to certain materials and additives that are sometimes included with condom.  Therefore, you want to make certain the condom you use will not cause your partner irritation.

Regardless of the shape and style of condom, the best condoms are those that fit you properly.  Some men prefer condoms that fit them snuggly while others prefer to have a little bit of wiggle room.  Regardless of your preference, the condom needs to be snug enough to prevent falling off.  Obviously, if the condom falls off, the sperm will leak out.  You also need to make sure the condom you have selected has been tested and approved by the FDA. That way, you can be certain it will be safe for you and your partner to use.
