Which condom type are you?

There are condoms and there are condoms, but are you using the right one?

Sex is one of the most wonderful experiences that a person can share with their partner. It is pleasurable and it unites two souls during the act. Sex also improves physical and mental wellbeing, and helps a couple stay connected through life’s challenges.

But if you do it the same way, with the same moves and even wearing the same condom, sex can become really boring. You owe it to your relationship to increase the pleasure of it, to make it more enjoyable. A condom can help you in this respect.

How can a condom enhance sex?

Earlier, only the most basic condoms were available, which provided functionality without enhancement. You could just slip the sheath on to the penis and have sex. But today, there are different types of condoms, in different make and materials. Condoms today are created to not just provide protection, but also to make the experience really enjoyable.

If you or your partner (or both) feel that wearing a condom is unnecessary, think again. It protects against STIs and unwanted pregnancies. You might be sure that neither of you has any STIs, but it doesn’t hurt to be safe. Besides, you cannot be wondering if you are helping create a pregnancy instead of focussing on enjoying the sexual act!

Picking the right type of condom frees you from any worries about your sexual health. It also increases your pleasure in each other.

What’s on offer?

There are many types of condoms to choose from, based on the condom thickness, material and texture. Start by picking the right size. The condom must fit snugly, like a glove, on the erect penis. If it is too tight, it might tear during sex. If it is a size bigger, it will slip off.

Once you’ve got the right size, it is time to find the condom with the right sensation. This aspect is more important for your partner, so choose well. Look for condoms from Durex, which has a wide range of condoms such as:

Fetherlite: These are super slim condoms to give couples the feeling of skin-on-skin contact during sex. But despite their thinness, they are tough enough not to break or tear during sex.

Extra safe: These condoms are slightly thicker than others. They are great for couples who don’t know each other very well, and who would like increased protection against pregnancies or STIs/STDs. These condoms are layered with spermicide for added protection.

Real feel: Their texture is like skin, so you feel like you’re having sex without a condom.

Pleasuremax: Their ribbed and dotted texture enhance her pleasure.

Ribbed, dotted: These condoms have ribs on the surface, or raised dots, to increase her sensitivity during sex.

Warming: These condoms are coated with warming lube on the surface.

Flavoured: For better oral sex for both partners.

Delayed climax: These condoms delay orgasm so you can enjoy the act for longer.
