A condom is one of the best-known contraceptives in existence. It blocks direct contact during sex and thus prevents both sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancies. You can think of condoms as elongated latex bags that you wrap around your penis. As soon as you cum, your seminal fluid is collected and will not come into direct contact with your partner. This way, you can have sex in the safest way possible! To be extra sure, it is never a bad idea to combine the use of a condom with the pill.
Who is a condom for?
A condom can be used by anyone who wants to have safe and carefree sex. This way, you do not need to worry about transmitting diseases, pregnancy, or other complications before, during, and after intercourse. Of course, there are many types of sexual activities, such as oral and anal stimulation. For this, special condoms were developed to ensure optimum safety. Naturally, a safe way to orally pleasure women has also been taken into consideration. This is where the so-called dental dams come in handy! This model of condom prevents direct contact between the mouth and the genitals.
What size of condom do I need?
It all depends on the size of your penis. You can quickly determine this with the help of a ruler and string. You measure the length by holding a ruler against your erect penis, starting from your stomach. You need the piece of string to find the circumference around your penis - again, in a stiff position - to measure the part.
Of course, each penis is unique in size. Therefore, it is almost impossible to determine what condom is perfect for every individual. For an indication of the correct size, see the table below.

How do I put on a condom?
With patience. Be careful with sharp nails when you tear open the packaging. If this is done too quickly, you may damage the condom, thus rendering it unusable. Always make sure you have plenty on hand just in case damage occurs.
Once you have the condom out, find where the outer edge is. This ridge is the outside of the condom. Place it on the head of your erect penis with the opposite side and grasp the top. With your other hand, roll the rubber down your penis until it is at the base. We recommend that you stop touching it to avoid any damage and sagging during sex. You can now enjoy yourself!
How safe is a condom?
As long as you use a condom properly, it is pretty safe. You should always replace your condom when you switch between oral, vaginal, and anal contact. This changing should also happen when you want to have sex with different people!
As long as you use your condoms in the recommended way, the chance of pregnancy occurring is minimal. The same also goes for sexually transmitted diseases. There is never a full guarantee since a condom can tear. If this happens, take immediate action, such as the morning-after pill. In the most extreme cases, it may also be wise to take an STD test.
