Why should I use a condom?
Part of maintaining your sexual health is taking precautions to protect yourself and your sexual partner, which is where condoms can be helpful.
Condoms act as a physical barrier that helps prevent the exchange of bodily fluids during sex. They are the only form of contraception that protects against both unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
STIs can be transmitted to you from your partner (or vice versa) without having any symptoms, and untreated STIs can have long term health consequences like infertility.
Condoms should be used every time you have sex.
What types of condoms are available?
There are a wide variety of condoms available, and they can come in:
- Different sizes, like regular and large
- Different textures that are designed to enhance sensation, like ultra-thin
- Different flavours, like banana or chocolate
- Different colours, like green or red
- Can be lubricated or non-lubricated
- Can be made from latex or non-latex, with non-latex condoms ideal for those with latex allergies or sensitivities
The type you choose will depend on you and your sexual partner’s preferences.
Which condoms are safe to use with lubricant?
Latex condoms can be used with both water based and silicone based lubricants. However, oil based lubricants should not be used with latex condoms as they can weaken and potentially break the condom.
If you’re not sure whether or not your lubricant is safe to use with your condoms, please check the packaging.
How do I choose the right condom size?
Selecting the right condom size is essential for both your comfort and the effectiveness of the condom itself.
Condoms are sized on girth (nominal width), not length, and fit best when the condom is snug but not too tight. There should also be some space at the tip to catch sperm.
A general guide to condom sizes is:
- Slim or snug fit: 49-52mm
- Regular or standard: 52-56mm
- Larger sizes: 56-60mm
Each brand size will vary, even if in the same size category, so checking the packaging and seeing which size suits you best is essential.
