Why choose to use condoms?

Condoms are currently the only non-permanent male contraceptive method available on the market. They are popular due to their non-invasive nature and ease of purchase. The popularity of condoms can be attributed to several reasons:

  • Condoms are the only non-permanent contraceptive method for men that does not affect hormones in the body.
  • It can effectively prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and prevent contact between body fluids of both parties.
  • To increase the pleasure of sexual intercourse, there are options of different materials, embossed patterns, and thicknesses.
  • It is easy to buy and is available in major supermarkets, convenience stores and pharmacies.

How to choose condom size?

When choosing a condom, size matters. Incorrect sizing may cause discomfort, slipping or breaking. Here are the steps to choosing the right condom size:

  1. Get a tape measure ready
  2. Erect your penis
  3. Wrap a tape measure around the base to measure the circumference of the penis.
  4. Circumference ÷ 2 = Condom Width
  5. Width minus 1-2mm = suitable condom size

Common condom sizes:

  • Small: 44-48 mm
  • Medium: 50-54 mm
  • Large size: 56-58 mm
  • Extra large: 60-66 mm

Material selection

There are three main types of condom materials on the market:

  • Latex: The most common, with good elasticity, suitable for most people. However, people who are allergic to latex should avoid using it.
  • Polyurethane: Suitable for people who are allergic to latex. It is thinner, has good thermal conductivity, and feels more natural.
  • Polyisoprene: Suitable for people who are allergic to latex, it has good elasticity and feels close to latex.

Special Features

Modern condoms have a variety of special features to meet different needs:

  • Ultra-thin: Provides a more natural feel.
  • Spiral type/granular type: increases stimulation, suitable for those who pursue more pleasure.
  • Long-lasting type: Contains anesthetic ingredients to prolong sexual intercourse time, suitable for people who need to control time.
  • Lubricated type: comes with its own lubricant to reduce friction and make the process smoother.

Brand recommendation

Here are some common condom brands:

  • Durex: Old brand, many styles, guaranteed quality.
  • Okamoto: A Japanese brand known for its ultra-thinness.
  • SHINE: High comfort level, suitable for sensitive skin.

The correct way to wear a condom

  1. Push the condom toward one end and carefully tear open the package from the other end to avoid tearing the condom.
  2. Distinguish the front and back of the condom: there is an air bag on the top of the front, and the edges are rolled inward, making it easy to pull down.
  3. Put on the fully erect penis (for uncircumcised men, push the foreskin down first).
  4. If you find that the front and back of a condom are reversed after putting it on, you should replace it with a new condom.
  5. Use your thumb and index finger to gently squeeze out the air in the air bag.
  6. Slowly unroll the condom until it covers the end of the penis, making sure all air bubbles are squeezed out to reduce the chance of the condom breaking.

How to properly remove a condom

  1. After ejaculation, immediately pull the penis out of the female vagina. Do not wait until the penis becomes soft before pulling it out, otherwise the semen will have a chance to overflow after the condom loosens.
  2. Press the bottom of the condom with your hand before pulling out the penis, and discard the condom after it is completely pulled out.
  3. Wrap it in a tissue and throw it into the trash can. Never throw it into the toilet as it will cause clog.

Do condoms really work?

Under ideal perfect use conditions, the contraceptive success rate of condoms is approximately 98%. Under real imperfect use conditions, the contraceptive success rate of condoms is approximately 85%.

Use and storage

When using condoms, please note the following:

  • Don't buy too much at one time, try different styles to find the most suitable one before buying in bulk.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat, not in your purse or trunk.

Correct use of condoms can ensure safety and enjoyment. I hope this information helps you choose the right condom. Remember: safety first, enjoyment second! Wishing everyone happiness, joy, safety, and health!

FAQ

Do condoms expire?

Yes. Latex condoms generally have a shelf life of 5 years, and the lubricants and spermicides (if any) inside will gradually break down the protective properties of the latex, so it is best to use them before the expiration date.

Is it necessary to use lubricant when using condoms?

Most condoms come with a small amount of lubricant, but the main purpose is to protect the condom. It is recommended to use them with water-based lubricants and to avoid oil-based lubricants such as baby oil and petroleum jelly.
