So there you are standing in the drugstore in front of a huge row of
condoms. The last thing you want to do is market research or be seen
standing there. As if choosing a brand wasn't hard enough, now you are
expected to decided between lubricated and non-lubricated, ribbed or
not! Well, here is everything you need to know when it comes to picking
out condoms...
You must first decide whether or not you want lubricants.
Generally, there are 3 ways to go:
Lubricated
· Lubricated condoms are the end-all-be-all of condoms. This type has been
around since condoms were invented and are the easiest to use. There are
two types of lubricants used in these condoms: silicone-based and
water-based. Condoms with a water-based lubricant can often feel sticky
and the water can evaporate quickly. Stick to the silicone-based for
simplicity.

Non-Lubricated
· Some people prefer non-lubricated condoms and will use products such as
Astroglide or other bottle lubricants. In this case, make sure you always
use a water or silicone based lubricant with latex condoms. DO NOT USE
OIL-BASED LUBRICANTS! (Such as baby oil, Vaseline, etc.) They will destroy
the latex and make the condom worthless.

Spermicide
· Spermicide works as a second form of birth control when used with
condoms; it kills the sperm and prevents them from fertilizing an egg
should they escape the condom.
Some brands of condoms are available with spermicide already on the condom
others you have to purchase separately. The most commonly used type of
spermicide is Nonoxynol-9.

The next step is to choose a shape and size:
Shaped or Contoured
·
Most people don't like wearing a condom, that is a common fact. Condom companies
realize this and have created several types that are shaped and contoured
to help increase sensation. These types vary from brand to brand, however
the general concept is to provide more (or less) headroom for the penis
thus creating more friction over the sensitive nerve endings.

Large v. Small
·
Not all penises are the same size. When choosing a size for a
condom, be honest because a condom that is too big will simply slide off
and provide no protection, while a condom that is too small is likely to
break. Condom companies are referring to the diameter of the condom when
determining size.

Large Condoms or Small Condoms from Undercover Condoms!
Long v. Short
· As if size in
one direction wasn't enough, condom makers also have long and short
condoms as well as those with more headroom. Condoms with extra headroom
provide added sensation due to the material rubbing the over the nerve
endings in the head of the penis. Be careful in purchasing short condoms,
however, as a short condom will not be able to catch as much "love juice"
and could result in spillage.

Finally, we must decide between colors, flavors and textures:
Colors
· Latex is naturally a
milky-white color; for those of you that want to add a little adventure to
your fun, condom makers have created colored condoms. Colored condoms
provide the same amount of protection as plain ones provided that they are
still made out of latex.

Flavors
· Most people don't know
that HIV and Herpes can be passed through oral sex. Knowing this, most
doctors agree that it is necessary to use protection when performing this
act; to make this a little more palatable, condom companies have created
flavored condoms. Note of caution: make sure to change condoms when
switching between oral sex and other types as teeth may have caused tiny
little snags and tears in the condom.

Textured
· Ok, now you have
tried the basic condoms and now you want a little something extra.
Textured condoms range from those designed to give the non-condom
wearing partner sensation to those which provide both with a great
feeling.
