Product Information

Condoms need to be stored in places that are not too hot or cold, and away from sharp or rough surfaces that could tear them or wear them away. The Durex Extra Sensitive condom is ultrathin and coated in extra lube for ultimate sensitivity. Reviewers share that these condoms hold up well even over a long time. Others explain that these condoms fit well and provide superior protection. LifeStyles SKYN Female condoms fit inside the vagina or anus. They’re typically made of polyurethane or nitrile. They’re generally more expensive than male condoms. Only use lubricants recommended for use with condoms. Oil-based ones (petroleum jelly, baby oil and some pessaries) and some topical medicines that go on the penis or vagina can damage condoms.

Many STIs don’t show any symptoms at first, so you may not know right away whether you’ve contracted one. Even if you don’t have symptoms, you could pass along an STI to other sexual partners. If you're having vaginal sex, sperm can sometimes get into the vagina during sex, even when using a condom. This may happen if: If you have difficulty keeping an erection, you may not be able to use condoms because the penis must be erect to prevent semen from leaking or the condom slipping off.If you think sperm has entered the vagina, you may need emergency contraception. You can use emergency contraception up to 5 days after unprotected sex (when sperm entered the vagina). When used correctly, male condoms protect against pregnancy 98 percent of the time, according to Planned Parenthood. As with any birth control method, the effectiveness is tied to usage. With typical usage, the effectiveness of male condoms drops to 85 percent, per Planned Parenthood. Female condoms Some condoms come with spermicide on them. You should avoid using this type, or using spermicide as a lubricant, as it does not protect against STIs and may increase your risk of infection. Who can use condoms? Doctors and nurses work under strict guidelines when dealing with people under 16. They'll encourage you to consider telling your parents, but they will not make you. Condoms are the only type of contraception that can both prevent pregnancy and protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

If this happens, or if semen gets into your partner's vagina during vaginal sex while using a condom, you may need emergency contraception. You should also consider having an STI test. How to use a condom You can use any type of lubricant with polyurethane condoms that are not made of latex. However, if you're using latex or polyisoprene condoms, do not use oil-based lubricants – such as lotion, body oil or petroleum jelly (Vaseline). This is because oil-based lubricants can damage the condom and make it more likely to split. Condoms with spermicide Some people may be allergic to latex, plastic or spermicides, but you can get condoms that are less likely to cause an allergic reaction. When using a condom, you have to pull out after you have ejaculated and before your penis goes soft, holding the condom firmly in place.

Condoms are a "barrier" method of contraception. They are made of very thin latex (rubber), polyurethane or polyisoprene and are designed to prevent pregnancy by stopping sperm from meeting an egg.
