How to choose condoms
Condoms prevent pregnancy and reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections when used correctly every time. The main differences are size (nominal width), thickness, material and features like ribs or added lubricant.
Latex is the most common; polyisoprene and polyurethane are options for people with latex allergies. Use only water-based or silicone-based lube with latex condoms, and check the expiration date on the wrapper.
Condoms FAQ
What size condom do I need?
Condom size is mostly about width. Standard condoms fit most people; "snug" and "large" sizes differ by a few millimeters in width. A condom that slips is too big, one that feels tight or breaks is too small.
What condoms are best for a latex allergy?
Polyisoprene or polyurethane condoms, which are latex-free.
