Condoms Are Condoms, Right?

Condoms are all alike, right? There is no difference from one brand to the next, or is there? They are boring, and have not changed at all over the years. Are you sure?

Condoms have been around forever, used for one reason or another by men worldwide. But how much have they really changed over time? What is it that makes today's condoms so different?

Let's start with your favorite flavor; do you prefer vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, mint, banana, grape, cola, orange, tangerine, plum, or raspberry? These are available, along with additional flavors, and can be used for oral sex, as well as vaginal intercourse.

Maybe you want to add some color to sex, you can do that too. From a red, white and blue striped condom, to orange, purple, green, yellow, pink, black, and even glow in the dark condoms. They are all available and are not only fun but prevent pregnancy and STD transmission.

Of course, there is more available than just colors and flavors. How about some texture to add to the pleasure? Trojans, LifeStyles, Prime, and Durex are just four of the brands that offer textured condoms. There are also Kimono Sensations, Erotica Vibra-Ribbed, Beyond Seven, and Sagami Type E to name a few more. Ridges, bumps, and ribs offer texture for additional sensation for the woman and for the man.


Maybe you wonder about additional strength because you worry about or have had a condom tear in the past. You should try LifeStyles Extra Strength, Trojan Extra Strength, Durex Extra Strength, Contempo Power Play, or Atlas Clear for the strength you may have missed in the past. If you still are not sure if it was strength that was lacking, be sure to add enough lubrication to the outside of the condom, no matter which brand you use.

"Size doesn't matter", you have heard it said more times than you probably care to admit. But how true is it when it comes to condoms? If your previous problems with condoms included it slipping off, you might want to try a condom with a snugger fit. LifeStyles Snugger Fit, Exotica Snugger Fit, Prime Snugger Fitted, and Beyond Seven are narrower, to offer a better fitting condom.

So, you say a smaller condom will not answer your problem? No need to worry, you can find a longer, wider condom that will work for you. Some brands to try include Trojan Magnum, Trojan Magnum XL, Trojan Supra, Maxx, Maxx Plus, LifeStyles Large, Contempo Mega, Contempo Bareback, and Crown. If you still can't find a condom that is large enough, switch to female condoms that fit inside the woman's vagina.

And last but never least, one of the main reasons that condoms end up on the night stand and never get used, it takes too long to put one on. Not any more. There is a condom that you or your partner can put on in just a few seconds. Impossible you say?

Hot Rod condoms with the Speedstrip Applicator are super easy and fast to put on. All you need to do is open the package, place the condom, with the applicator side up, on the head of the penis and hold it in place. Pull the applicator to one side and down, while you hold the top in place. And as they say, "Badda-bing, badda-bang!" you're done and ready to go.

Condoms have changed, and all for the better over time.
