Buy a condom: The best condoms of 2025!

Buy condom is one of the smartest choices you can make when it comes to sexual health. Whether you are looking for extra thin condoms for more sensation, latex-free versions due to an allergy, or simply the classic Durex condoms are the way to protect yourself and your partner from unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). In this comprehensive blog you will learn everything about condoms, the best brands, how to choose them, where to buy them and how to use them.

What is a condom and why is it important?

A condom is a thin sheath that you slide over the penis before penetration. It catches sperm after ejaculation and prevents sperm from reaching the vagina. It also forms a physical barrier against STDs such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV and syphilis.

There are two main types:

• Male condoms (by far the most used)
• Female condoms (less known, but effective)

Condoms are 98% effective when used correctly, making them one of the most reliable forms of contraception.

All types of condoms in a row

1. Standard latex condoms

The classic choice, made from natural rubber latex. Available in many sizes, thicknesses and textures.

2. Latex-free condoms

For people with a latex allergy, there are alternatives made of polyurethane or polyisoprene, which are just as effective.

3. Extra thin condoms

Designed to let more sensation through. For those who want to combine safety with intense pleasure.

4. Flavored condoms

Fruity varieties such as strawberry, banana or mint are often used in oral sex.

5. Ribbed and sensitivity enhancing condoms

These condoms have a special pattern or lubricant that provides extra stimulation for both partners.

6. Delay condoms (with benzocaine)

Contain a mild anesthetic to prevent premature ejaculation.

7. Glow in the dark condoms

For the adventurous nights they light up in the dark.

8. Vegan condoms

Produced without animal products or animal testing. Usually latex-free or naturally processed.

How do you use a condom correctly?

Even the best condom won't work if you use it wrong. Putting on mistakes is the biggest cause of condom failure. Here's a step by step explanation for correct use:

🧾 1. Check the packaging

• Look at the expiration date
• Carefully feel if there is air in the packaging (slight bulge)

✂️ 2. Open the package carefully

Never use scissors, teeth or sharp nails. Tear carefully along the serrated edge.

🧠 3. Make sure the penis is fully erect

A condom only works well on an erection. So only put the condom on when your penis is completely hard.

🔄 4. Put the condom on properly

• Make sure that the roll on the outside (if it doesn't roll off: wrong way around)
• Pinch the tip closed (leaving room for the sperm)
• Roll the condom all the way down

🛑 5. Pull out immediately after you come

• Hold the base of the condom firmly
• Withdraw the penis before the erection subsides
• Throw the condom away in the trash (not in the toilet)

Common mistakes when using condoms

Many people unconsciously make mistakes that make the condom less effective. These are the most common:

• ❌ Put it on wrong → then reuse it
• ❌ Don't leave any space at the top → condom may burst
• ❌ Putting it on too late (for example, only after oral sex)
• ❌ Do not use lubricant when dry → more likely to crack
• ❌ Not checking for damage or expired shelf life

🧴 Tip: Always use a lubricant on water or silicone basedOil or greasy products break down latex.

Buying a condom: online or in the store?

Which condom to buy? Both have their pros and cons. Here is an overview:

STDs that condoms protect against:

• Chlamydia
• Gonorrhea

• Regular testing with changing partners
• Always use condoms during penetration and oral sex
• Never reuse condoms

How do you choose the right condom?

Buying a condom is all about size, material and purpose of use:

📏 Size

• Too big → can slide off
  Use brands like My.Size for a perfect fit

🧬 Material

• Latex → standard choice
• Latex free → for allergies or sensitivity (polyisoprene or polyurethane)

🎯 Usage situation

• For long lasting sex → numbing condom
• For extra feeling → ultra-thin version
• For oral sex → flavored condom
• For vegans → Fair Squared or EXS Vegan

Lubricant and condoms: what works together?

Not every lubricant is suitable for every condom. wrong lubricant can damage latex, which can cause the condom to tear. Here are the main types:

✅ Water-based lubricant

• Safe for all condoms
• Popular, easy to clean
• Examples: Durex Play, Pasante TLC, Pjur Aqua

✅ Silicone based lubricant

• Also safe for latex and latex-free condoms
• Lasts longer than water based
• Examples: Pjur Original, Eros, Durex Perfect Glide

❌ Oil based lubricant

• Not suitable for latex condoms
• Attacks the material → risk of tearing
• Use only with condoms from polyurethane

🧠 Tip: Always add extra lubricant during anal sex, even if the condom already feels wet. This prevents friction and tearing.
