Condoms

A condom is the only contraceptive that prevents pregnancy and the transmission of sexually transmitted infections at the same time. According to the World Health Organization, when used correctly with every act of sex, 98% of women whose male partners use male condoms are protected from unplanned pregnancy, and 95% when female condoms are used. WHO estimates that increased condom use since 1990 has averted around 117 million new HIV infections.

Use of a water- or silicone-based lube is recommended, as other types may cause the condom to break, such as kitchen oil, butter and hand lotion.

Which type of condom to choose

The choice starts with the material. Classic latex condoms are the most widely used and the best studied. Latex-free condoms (polyisoprene, polyethylene) are made for people with a latex allergy and also tolerate lubricants that damage latex. Thinner models increase sensation and textured surfaces with dots or ribs add stimulation — the level of protection stays the same, because all of them meet the same standard.

Why size matters more than the label on the box

The right size is a safety figure, not a comfort preference. A condom that is too loose slips off, one that is too tight breaks more often, and both mean lost protection. Girth decides, not length: measure the circumference of the erect penis and divide it by 2 — the result is the nominal width manufacturers print on the pack.

The lubricant that does not destroy a condom

With latex, use water-based or silicone-based lubricant only. The WHO/UNFPA advisory note states that latex condoms rapidly lose strength when exposed to oil-based lubricants. For anal sex the difference has been measured: in a prospective study the breakage rate was 3% with water-based lubricant and 21.4% when no additional lubricant was used.

Frequently asked questions

How do I pick the right condom size?
Measure the circumference of the erect penis and divide it by 2. The result in millimetres is the nominal width; most standard condoms are 52–56 mm, snug ones 47–51 mm, wider ones 57–69 mm.
Are latex-free condoms just as safe?
Yes. Latex-free condoms meet the same standards as latex ones and give the same protection when used correctly. They are made for people with a latex allergy and also tolerate oil-based lubricants.
Why should I never use two condoms at once?
Two condoms rub against each other and break more often. Protection goes down, not up.
How long does a condom last?
Until the date printed on the pack, usually three to five years from manufacture. Heat, sunlight and carrying one in a wallet shorten that — store them dry and out of the sun.
Is delivery discreet?
Yes. Parcels ship in neutral packaging with no indication of the contents, and the sender name does not reveal the shop.
