Male condoms


Male condoms

The male condom is a wrap that is worn on the penis during intercourse. Prevents pregnancy by acting as a barrier and preventing the male semen from spilling into the vagina and allowing the sperm to penetrate the ovule and fertilize it. Condoms reduce the chances of women and men contracting sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV. There are dozens of forms, textures and styles of condoms to choose from, some more effective than others. The condoms can be latex, polyurethane or lamb skin (natural). They may or may not be lubricated. Some contain spermicides, others do not. It is best not to use condoms with spermicide.

Does it matter what kind of condom I use?

Yes, the best is latex. It offers the best protection, both for pregnancy and for sexually transmitted diseases. If you are allergic to latex, polyurethane is a good method. They provide the same protection against pregnancy and some protection against STDs, but they break or slip more frequently than latex. Natural or lamb skin preservatives are effective against the prevention of pregnancy, but are not effective for the prevention of STDs. It is a personal decision to use lubricated condoms or not, but most adolescents prefer them lubricated.

How effective is the condom in the control of fertility?


If the woman uses the condom in every sexual relationship and follows the instructions always, its effectiveness is 97%. That is to say that he should always use it, during the whole sexual relationship and not only, at the moment of ejaculation. This means that if 100 women use a male condom correctly all the time, 3 women become pregnant in 1 year.

It is obvious that if the male preservative is more effective against fertility when it is used all the time and always correctly. If women use the male condom, but do not use it perfectly, the effectiveness decreases to 86%. This means that if 100 women use the preservative masculine, but do not use it perfectly every time, at least 12 women will become pregnant within a year.

Most of the flaws in this method are due to improper use. The use of expired condoms causes a higher rate of rupture.

How effective is the condom in the prevention of Sexually Transmitted Diseases?

The answer to this question depends on what type of condom you use. The latex condom provides excellent protection against STDs. Polyurethane condoms offer some protection against STDs, although it is not clear how effective they are. It is important to remember that lamb or natural condoms do not protect against STDs.

The answer to this question depends on what type of ETS we are referring to. Latex condoms are effective against STDs that are in fluids (blood or semen) such as the HIV / AIDS virus, hepatitis, chlamydia and gonorrhea. Condoms are much less effective against STDs caused by organisms that live in inflamed or ulcerated lesions of the genital mucous membranes, such as syphilis, herpes, and human papillomavirus (also called genital warts).

Where should I store unused condoms?

We must store them in dry places, with low light and at room temperature. Extreme cold or heat weaken the material. Sunlight or moisture can cause more ruptures or tears. Condoms should not be carried in a wallet or stored in the car drawer, for more than two weeks, because the material will weaken and be more prone to tear or break.

How long are condoms kept in proper condition?

Always check the expiration date of the box. Some are marked with the date of manufacture. A condom can be used up to four years after the date of manufacture. Other condoms are marked with the expiration date. It must not be used beyond the expiration date indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the expiration date of the condom, throw it away and use a new one. Never use a condom that is brittle, brittle, damaged or unusual in color.

How to use the condom?


First use a new condom every time you have vaginal, anal or oral sex. Be careful when opening a package of condoms do not tear or tear the latex with your teeth, nails or rings. Do not unwrap the condom before placing it on the penis, because it can weaken the latex and deteriorate it at the same time and make its use dangerous. You can put the condom on the man or put it on his own.

Gently press the air from the upper end of the condom, before placing it on the penis. Make sure you have left a centimeter of space in the bottom of the condom, to collect the semen, so that it will not run down the side of the condom. Aqueous lubricants (such as glycerines or jellies) can be used during the relationship to prevent the condom from breaking. If you place a drop of lubricating jelly inside the bottom of the condom, you can increase the feeling while increasing safety.

Never use an oil-based lubricant, because it will weaken the condom and make it more prone to breakage. Example of oily lubricants are lotions, petroleum jelly or baby oils. Medications to treat fungal infections in women tend to favor rupture.

Hold the end of the condom between your thumb and forefinger and place it over the head of the penis. If the penis is not circumcised, pull back the skin of the foreskin, before placing the condom on it. Remove excess air to prevent the condom from bursting. Place the condom when the penis is erectile. Unroll it over the entire length of the erectile penis.

how to put on a condom After the man has ejaculated, he must remove it when the penis is still erectile, because the condom can easily slip when it is flaccid. he should hold the condom on the base of the penis while it is removed from the vagina to prevent semen from spilling. Gently roll the condom up to the end of the penis to remove it.

What should be done with a used condom?

The used condom should be wrapped and thrown into a waste basket. Do not throw it down the toilet, it can clog the pipe. Condoms can not be used twice, so use one with each sexual relationship and then discard it.

What happens if the condom breaks or tears?

First Do not despair! The penis should be removed immediately. (If you are going to continue the sexual relationship, use a new condom). The contraceptive jelly or foam should be placed in the vagina and the woman should not douch. Douching can cause infections. If you are worried about a pregnancy or an STD, consult your doctor or health assistant. You should think about making an emergency contraception.

How often are condoms broken?

Condoms rarely break if they are properly stored and used correctly. Studies show that latex break only about 0.4% (4 out of 1000) and polyurethane break 4% (4 out of 100). Couples who use polyurethane are 9 times more likely to rupture than those who use latex condoms. When condoms are broken, it is usually because space was not left for the semen at the bottom of it, or they were expired, or were exposed to the sun or heat, or were torn by the teeth or nails. It also harms the use of oil-based lubricants instead of aqueous base, which cause their rupture. If the condom is stored and used correctly, it is very difficult to break it.

What happens if the condom comes out and can not be extracted from the vagina?

Do not panic! Try to reach it with your finger and remove it from the vagina, otherwise contact the doctor or health assistant and ask for a consultation.

What happens if my partner or I have an allergic reaction to condom use?


Some people may have an allergic reaction to the condom. This may be due to spermicide or latex. Try one free of spermicide, which is recommended the same. If you think that latex may be responsible for the allergy, you should use a male or female polyurethane condom. Talk to your doctor or your health assistant in case of any doubt.

MYTHS AND TRUTHS ABOUT THE CONDOM

    Condoms

  •     Is the condom totally safe? The answer is no. No method is 100% safe to prevent diseases or pregnancies.
  •     The United Nations program on HIV / AIDS, UNAIDS, prefers to speak of "safer sex" rather than "safe sex".
  •     That said, for the World Health Organization (WHO) the male latex condom is the safest and most efficient available technology to reduce the transmission of AIDS and other diseases during sexual intercourse.
  •     With regard to contraception, according to UNAIDS sources explained to the BBC World, condoms are effective in 98% of cases if they are used correctly. That means that if they choose this method, two women out of every 100 will get pregnant.
  •     Although they have existed for a long time - the first ones date back to the 13th century BC - to prevent pregnancies and diseases such as syphilis, they have received more attention since the appearance of the AIDS pandemic.

    Condom in your pocket

  •     Abstinence is the safest way to prevent the transmission of sexual diseases. That is, not having vaginal, anal or oral sex.
  •     Other techniques recommended by WHO to prevent them are to have a stable and faithful partner, reduce the number of sexual partners, delay the age at which they begin to have sex, have sex without penetration and use condoms correctly.
  •     The WHO also cites male circumcision as a strategy to reduce the risk of HIV transmission.

    Condom

  •     According to UNAIDS, while scientists continue to look for new preventive technologies such as the AIDS vaccine and microbicides, condoms will continue to be the key prevention tool for many years to come.
  •     Despite all the available information, there are still many myths and misperceptions about the condom that generate misuse of them.
  •     The fear of breakage is usually present. And is that the wrong use of the condom can cause it to break or slip. In this way the protection decreases.
  •     According to the WHO, condoms are broken in 2% of cases. This is avoided by using them correctly.

    Couple with condom

  •     And what does it mean to "use them correctly"?
  •     Always place them before penetration, when the penis is erect, and remove the penis after ejaculation, before it returns to the resting size, which can cause the condom to remain inside the body.
  •     To put them, you have to take them by the tip, to take out the air, and then slide them into the erect penis.
  •     The Argentine sexologist Juan Carlos Kusnetzoff, who attends to many young people and adolescents, explained to BBC Mundo that many of them use it badly.
  •     That is, they initiate intercourse without a condom and place it only for ejaculation, ignoring that before ejaculating the penis releases a pre-ejaculatory fluid that contains active sperm and can cause pregnancy, in addition to the transmission of diseases.

    Condom envelope

  •     Always use condoms that are not expired. That is, not more than five years have passed after the date of manufacture.
  •     Nor should they be used if they have been subjected to high temperatures or if they present changes in color or texture. They should be stored in dry places, in low light and at room temperature.
  •     Care must be taken when opening them, as nails or sharp objects can break them.
  •     Many say that with a condom they can not feel pleasure. Nowadays there are condoms of infinite shapes, colors and even flavors that reduce discomfort.

    Condoms

  •     So that they do not break, it is important that there is enough lubrication, either natural or in charge of special lubricants.
  •     In case of a break, the WHO advises taking an emergency contraceptive (the morning after pill).
  •     If this is not possible, recommend immediately applying a spermicide - other than nonoxynol-9 - to the vagina.

    Condom and the red AIDS ribbon

  •     The condom protects against sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS, gonorrhea and chlamydia.
  •     However, it is much less effective against infections caused by organisms that live in inflamed or ulcerated lesions of the genital mucous membranes, such as syphilis, herpes and HPV or human papilloma virus, also called genital warts.
  •     That is why you should avoid contact with people who have injuries in the genital area until they perform the corresponding treatment and the injuries are cured.

    Quality test of condoms

  •     A common myth is that condoms have tiny holes through which viruses pass, including HIV.
  •     UNAIDS strongly denies that myth.
  •     Both latex condoms - the most common material - and polyurethane or synthetic materials are a completely impermeable barrier method to protect against the AIDS virus. The same goes for female condoms.
  •     Condoms pass international quality controls that ensure their reliability.
  •     There are also condoms made with lambskin, which are not safe and should not be used.
  •     Another popular belief is that using two overlapping condoms (either two men together or one male man and one female woman) increases protection. This is false, since latex friction can cause breakage.

    Condom

  •     Some conspiracy theories point out that AIDS is a plan of rich countries to reduce the populations of the poor and that condoms are a functional tool to that genocide.
  •     There is also the version that, for that purpose, HIV is purposely placed on condoms.
  •     The WHO points out that these theories have no real support. There is no evidence that this conspiracy exists or any motivation for someone to place a virus on condoms.
  •     He also emphasizes that the virus does not survive outside the human body, therefore it would be impossible to infect condoms.

    Female condom

  •     Women often do not have access to condoms. Sometimes they can not negotiate condom use either, since in many cultural contexts men refuse to use them.
  •     Therefore, the female condom - like the one seen in the photo - is an option recommended by the WHO for those situations in which the woman can not get the partner to wear a condom.
  •     It also works in cases where the man is allergic to latex.
  •     For many, the female condom is something unknown. The WHO suggests practicing before using it in a relationship. Women should try to put it on and remove it before using it for the first time.
  •     Female condoms have a 95% effectiveness. That is, five out of every 100 women become pregnant.

If you are determined to have sex, do it safely and avoid risks that can affect you for a lifetime. Do not have sex without taking all the necessary precautions .

You have read before your first relationship and you have answered affirmatively to the 10 questions about whether you are ready . If so, you will be prepared to avoid sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies as a primary task. Therefore, he acquires condoms (condoms) that offer all the guarantees of quality to fulfill his functions. In Spain those who sell in pharmacies usually fulfill such guarantees.

Once acquired, do not cut yourself and learn to put the condom right so that it fulfills its functions. We will explain how to correctly put a condom. For this we will show you a video (in English) but we will detail you step by step what you will see in the video.

Step 1: You need a condom

Do not cut you buy a pack of condoms. In pharmacies are usually very understanding and seriously advise if you have questions. Do it naturally and normally. Having sex is something that the adult world sees normally. Do not cut yourself. You can also buy them in supermarkets, gas stations and many other places. To monitor the expiration date. Do not use condoms with defective packaging. Carry them in your package and do not carry them in your pocket.

how to put a condom step by step

Step 2: Open the package correctly

Do it very carefully ... Tearing the package open with your teeth while you roar like a tiger can be fun but do not do it, you can damage the condom while doing it losing its function. Take care also with the nails when handling it and any sharp objects (rings, etc.)

Step 3: Put the condom right

Once you have one, pull back your foreskin before putting it on. Unroll the condom a little to find what is the right direction. Before squeezing or squeezing the tip of the condom so that there is no air at the end of it. If trapped air can cause the condom to break. Leave space at the tip.

Step 4: Roll the condom down to the base of the penis

With the erect penis, push the condom down before unrolling it to avoid touching or damaging the tip. There are those who apply a little cream to the penis, specific aqueous lubricants (be careful with some oils, vaselines or shaving lotions that can damage the condom ...) to put it more easily. This also allows it to stay better in place and reduces the possibility of it breaking. If you use oil-based lubricants you should use polyurethane condoms, a little more expensive.

Step 5: When you use it

Check occasionally that the condom is in place. If you slip or tear during sexual intercourse you should retire, wash and replace it with another condom.

Step 6. Double condom

Some people try to use two condoms at the same time, thinking that two condoms will double the protection. Do not do that. The two condoms will rub each other and friction will increase which will make the break more likely. For the same reason, a male and a female condom should not be used at the same time.

Step 7: Once done

Withdraw from your partner while the penis is still erect, take the condom at the base of the penis so that the semen does not spill. Remove the condom and put it in a tissue to throw it away. Never throw it away by the water. Of course, you will need to use a new condom every time you want to have another sexual relationship again. Never use the same condom twice.

What are condoms?


What are condoms?

Condoms (also known as condoms) are very thin covers that prevent semen from entering the vagina. There are male condoms and female condoms:

  •     The male condom is placed on the penis . It is usually latex, a type of rubber. But some are made of safe materials for people allergic to latex, such as polyurethane or polyisoprene.
  •     The female condom is inserted into the vagina . It has a flexible ring at each end. One end is closed and inserted well inside the vagina; the other is open and the ring is outside the opening of the vagina. The current female condoms are made with safe materials for people with latex allergy.

How do condoms work?

Condoms work by preventing semen (the fluid that contains the sperm) from entering the vagina. The male condom is placed on the penis when it goes into an erection. It unrolls until covering the penis completely until the base, holding it by the tip to leave a hollow space at the end. This creates a space to collect the semen after ejaculation, which reduces the chances of the condom breaking.

After ejaculating, the man should hold the condom by the base of the penis while removing it from the vagina. You must do it while the penis is still erect. This prevents the condom from coming out when the penis is no longer erect, which could allow semen to enter the vagina.

The female condom is inserted into the vagina by the end of the closed ring. The other ring forms the open end of the condom. In this way, the condom covers the walls of the vagina, which creates a barrier between the semen and the cervix. The female condom can be placed up to 8 hours before intercourse. You should retire just after having sex and before standing up.

Male and female condoms should not be used at the same time because rubbing could break them or cause them to stick together or one would get out during intercourse. If a condom breaks or comes off, the semen can enter the vagina, which reduces the chances of preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases ( STDs ).

How effective are condoms?

Over a year:

  •     15 out of 100 typical couples who use male condoms will have an unwanted pregnancy.
  •     About 21 out of 100 couples who use female condoms will have an unwanted pregnancy.

For added protection , many couples use condoms along with another contraceptive method, such as the contraceptive pill or the IUD. For best results, they should be used every time they have sex.

Condoms can not be reused. You have to wear a new one every time you have sex and put it on from beginning to end to protect yourself from pregnancy and STDs. Lubricants made with oils (such as mineral oil, Vaseline or baby oil) should never be used with condoms because they can break the rubber. Condoms can also be damaged by things like fingernails and piercings.

And if a condom seems dry, sticky or rigid when removed from the package, or it is expired, you have to throw it away and replace it with another one. It is useful to have several condoms on hand in case one gives problems. It is best to store new condoms in a cool, dry place.

Do condoms help protect you from STDs?

Yes. Latex, polyurethane and polyisoprene condoms can help prevent many STDs if used properly. Condoms made with lamb casings do not provide effective protection against STDs, including HIV and AIDS.

Condoms do not protect against infections present in skin wounds that are not covered by the condom (such as the base of the penis or scrotum). Even if they use another method of contraception, couples should use condoms as long as they have sex to protect themselves from STDs.

Sexual abstinence (not having sex) is the only method that always works to prevent pregnancy and STDs.

Can condoms give problems?

Most men and women have no problems when using condoms. Among the side effects that may appear on occasion, include:

  •     an allergic reaction in a person with an allergy to latex condoms
  •     irritation of the penis or vagina due to spermicides or lubricants with which some condoms are treated

For whom are condoms appropriate?

Condoms can be a good alternative for couples who are responsible enough to stand up and put a condom every time they go to have sex and also for those who want to protect themselves from STDs.

Since condoms are the only contraceptive method that exists for boys, it allows them to take responsibility for contraception and protection against STDs.

Where can you buy condoms?

Condoms are easily found in pharmacies, supermarkets and even vending machines. (In the US, some shopping centers sell them in the "family planning" section). You do not need to go to the doctor or present a prescription to buy them.

How much do condoms cost?

Male condoms cost between 50 cents and a dollar (between 43 and 85 cents) each and are cheaper when purchased in boxes of several units. Many health and family planning centers (such as Planned Parenthood) and some educational centers distribute them free of charge.

Female condoms are a bit more expensive; They cost about 2 dollars each. Some health and family planning centers have free female condoms.

When should I call the doctor?

A girl who uses condoms should call the doctor if:

  •     I could be pregnant
  •     the condom breaks while you are having sex
  •     vaginal discharge smells different or changes color
  •     have a fever or unexplained chills
  •     have abdominal or pelvic pain
  •     feels pain when having sex



How should a condom be used?


How should a condom be used?

When we use condoms perfectly, they are effective in preventing pregnancy by 98%, but different studies have shown that we do not always use this method of contraception correctly. To serve as a way to prevent diseases in addition to an unwanted pregnancy takes into account these common mistakes.

1. When do you put it on?

The condom must be placed before beginning the penetration in all cases. Even if with your partner you usually stop to put it, once he enters you are exposed to a pregnancy (and all sexually transmitted diseases). Several studies reported that between 17 and 50% of their respondents put the condom after penetration but before ejaculation. Pre-seminal fluid can contain sperm and you can get pregnant. Remember, you only need one ...

2. How do you put it?

In one of the studies, 25% of the men admitted that they unwind the condom before putting it on. It is not a sock, the condom should be unrolled on the penis.

3. How far do they put it?

The condom is shaped like a pacifier at the end so that semen accumulates on that little tip. You should not stretch it until it is stuck to the skin, but you should remember to press it to get the air out or it can cause it to break.

4. What do they put it with?

Using lubricant along with condoms is fine, but remember that it should be water based because oil lubricants can disintegrate the condom.

5. How often do they put it?

A study published by the Huffington Post showed that young couples tend to be consistent with condom use at the beginning of their relationship, but use it less and less as time passes. This feeling of false security is complemented by the different feeling of having sex without a condom and causes many couples to be inconsistent with their method of contraception. In addition to this, up to 28% of men report having erection problems at some time when stopping to place the condom.

That is why we must make sure to protect our body and our future in a correct way. Did you know this information?

What is a condom?


What is a condom?

The condom is the most frequent contraceptive barrier method for men , with an efficiency of 97 percent. It consists of a sheath of latex (or other synthetic materials) that is placed on the penis , thus preventing the passage of semen and retaining it. It also serves to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted infections such as AIDS , gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, syphilis, genital herpes or human papillomavirus, with an efficiency of 95 percent.

Condoms have been used throughout history, dating back to the oldest in the time of the Egyptians about the year 1000 BC. Formerly, they were made with different types of fabrics or guts of animals and their goal was to prevent sexually transmitted infections, more to avoid pregnancy.

For women there is also a female condom that works similarly and with very similar levels of effectiveness.

Placement

When opening the condom or condom wrapper it is important to do it carefully and with your hands, to avoid any possibility of it breaking during this process. It is therefore not recommended to use scissors or other similar utensils to open it, nor do it with the teeth.

To place the condom correctly, the penis must be fully erect . If the penis is not circumcised, before its placement the glans should be left exposed. The protruding end of the condom is grasped and tightened so that no air enters. In this small space is where the semen will be deposited. Once the space is left, it is placed on the penis and the rest of the condom is unrolled until the entire penis has been covered. When the penis has ejaculated, it is advisable to remove the condom before the penis stops being erect to do it more easily.

It is important to place the condom before any contact between the genitals, since the penis can expel pre-ejaculatory secretions before ejaculation itself, and these fluids can contain the possible infectious agents of sexually transmitted diseases, as well as sperm that can reach to fertilize the ovule.

In no case is it recommended to place more than one condom , since the friction that would occur between the two condoms would facilitate its rupture.

The condom is for single use , so it must be thrown away once it has been ejaculated. Since it is not biodegradable, it must be deposited in a wastebasket, not in the toilet.

Types of condoms

There are varieties of condoms that have different characteristics:

  •     With or without lubricant : the lubricant can facilitate the entrance of the penis, either in vaginal sex or anal sex . Some lubricants include spermicide, a substance that weakens sperm in the event that the condom breaks, but can also cause urine infections in men.
  •     With or without deposit for semen.
  •     Fine or thick, which give different sensations.
  •     Of colors.
  •     Flavors: designed for the practice of oral sex .

Acquisition and conservation

Condoms can be purchased in pharmacies or in any establishment that offers a guarantee of its quality. To ensure its effectiveness, it is advisable to buy those that are approved by a health authority , with the corresponding CE certification.

Condoms should be stored in a cool , dry place and should be used before the expiration date indicated on the package. They should also be protected from excessive light and humidity, and it is recommended not to keep them in pockets, wallets or car glove boxes. If these indications are not followed, latex may lose its properties and, consequently, cease to be effective or break more easily.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantage of the condom is that it is easily accessible to anyone at a relatively low cost . It is a product that does not need a prescription and can be used by almost any man: even for those allergic to latex, there are condoms made of polyurethane, although they are equally valid although there are studies that point to a slightly lower effectiveness. In addition, it is considered the safest method of contraception of all, since it protects against unwanted pregnancies and , as it is a barrier method, also of sexually transmitted infections .

As disadvantages could be considered its possibility of rupture: a broken condom loses practically all its effectiveness . In addition, some men consider that condom sex does not offer the same pleasure that is felt without it, because among other things, it can exert light pressure on the penis and reduce contact. Another disadvantage is that, when having to place with the penis in erection, it can diminish spontaneity to the sexual encounter, since it is necessary to stop a few moments for its correct placement.

The condom, prophylactic or condom is a male contraceptive method, essential for the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases and highly used by man due to its practicality.
The condom with spermicide contains a spermicidal product on the surface and interior of the condom that allows to cancel the function of the sperm.

Hypoallergenic condoms

Latex is the material commonly used for its manufacture, but a range of condoms made of polyurethane have been on the market for some years now. This material eliminates the possibility of causing some allergies caused by latex.

Condoms with retardant

These condoms prevent premature ejaculation that affects a large percentage of men. Condoms called retarders have anesthetic substances, which reduce sensitivity, a fact that slows down ejaculation.

Aromatic condoms

The lubricants that condoms usually carry do not have a pleasant aroma, that's why there are aromatic condoms, which usually have fruit flavors and aromas and chocolate. They are also used in a playful way and to encourage sexual intercourse with something new or different.

Latex-free condoms


Latex-free condoms

Know what latex-free condom options you have

If you suspect or know that you have an allergy to condom latex you should seriously consider the options that condoms manufactured without latex offer you. Remember that the best protection against pregnancy and the spread of any sexually transmitted disease / infection (STI) is still the condom.




LifeStyles SKYN LARGE Condoms - 25 condoms
LifeStyles SKYN LARGE Condoms - 25 condoms






In the nineties some manufacturers began to make latex-free male condoms for people with this type of allergy.


Currently there are options available for sale in the United States of condoms manufactured without latex. We present you:

Polyurethane condoms
In the US market there are two brands of male polyurethane condoms (Durex Avanti condoms and Trojan Supra condoms) and a female polyurethane condom brand (Reality).

Polyurethane condoms both male and female condom have advantages over latex condoms:

  • They heat better than latex (which allows the sensations during sexual intercourse to be greater)
  • They are thinner than most latex condoms
  • They have no aroma or are not perceptible
  • They are not damaged when used with lubricants containing oil.
  • Among the disadvantages we have:

  • Polyurethane does not stretch as much as latex or polyisoprene, so the percentage of slippage and rupture of condoms is greater
  • The effectiveness of polyurethane condoms in preventing the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases / infections (STIs) continues to be studied, that is, it does not guarantee the same efficacy as latex condoms.
  • On this last point it is necessary to clarify that the condoms manufactured with this material are still very new to have enough studies to prove their effectiveness. Even in the United States, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) requires manufacturers to label their condoms with the following warning:


"The risk of pregnancy or transmission of sexually transmitted diseases / infections (STDs), including AIDS (HIV infection), are unknown for this type of condom." A study is underway. latex-free material, these tests show that organisms as small as sperm and viruses like HIV can not pass through it. "
The American Latex Allergy Association states that while latex-free condoms do not have the same proven efficacy as latex condoms, they are a suitable substitute for people with latex allergies.

Polyisoprene or Nitrile Condoms
Condoms made with polyisoprene (The brand known as SKYN) entered the market in 2008 and those manufactured with Nitrile (FC2 female condoms) have more time on the market.

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR CONDOM?



DO YOU KNOW HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR CONDOM?

We have all stopped in front of the pharmacy inn to admire the variety of condoms offered by the market. There are different brands, colors, flavors and size. But that they are there, within reach of your wallet, does not mean that they are for you.
Here, some information you need to know to choose the perfect condom, and the options that are presented when you want to vary a bit.

Size
Everyone thinks they have it big. In fact, many men I know say they have tried the XL size once. What you do not know as much, or is not so common that is venting out there, is that you can even have it smaller than average. Knowing your "size" condom is essential for a good sexual experience. In fact, a 2010 study by the Kinsey Institute for Research on Sex, Gender and Reproduction revealed that condoms of other sizes double the risk of losing an erection, have problems achieving orgasm (for both), and that the condom breaks or slips, which decreases the contraceptive effects. In addition, it is uncomfortable to occupy a size that is not yours, obvious.
A trick to determine your size, is to take a roll of toilet paper, and put inside your erect penis. If there is more space, it is because you need a small size condom. If everything is fine, you are average. And if it stays tight, it's because you need an XL option.
If you have a history of breaking condoms, then try a larger size the next time you go to the pharmacy.

Slim and Ultra Slim
If you want to heat things without taking many risks, these are a good option. In truth, almost everyone prefers them. For many couples, the thinner the closer we get to the experience without a condom. In addition, they are 100% safe, because extra thin condoms go through the same rigorous tests, so they protect as if they were very thick.

Climax Control
It sounds half absurd, this about a condom that makes you feel less, it takes away sensitivity to sexual pleasure. Well, if you do not have problems controlling ejaculation, do not try this, you do not have what for. But for men who need to last longer are a good option.
One thing is to look for this type of condoms with a lubricant attached to the outside. Or buy a lubricant and thus allow her to go very fast while he is more "tranquilito".

With textures
With protuberances, or lines, or different shapes, condoms with texture are made to help her reach orgasm. But in fact, very few feel a difference, and there are even some women who find them uncomfortable. In addition, they are usually a little thicker, which is a factor to consider. Personally I think it's entertaining to try everything. And that testing does not hurt anyone.

Lamb skin
This exists, but I do not know if it has been seen in Chile. Personally I have never tried it and I would not do it because ew. But for those who are allergic to latex is a good option. They are skin color, but as I read on the internet, once you occupy them you fall in love. They are very thin, so they feel much more, they help you to last longer - for those who do not control themselves. Apparently that yes, it has a distinctive smell that you have to get used to (but latex too, so ...).
The lambskin condom prevents pregnancy, but not against sexually transmitted diseases, so they are ideal for monogamous couples.

Spermicide

Spermicide is an extra condom that will prevent sperm from swimming around. Of course, the chemicals that compose it can cause irritation, so it is not advisable to occupy it more than once a day. In addition, it does not protect against AIDS or against any sexually transmitted disease.

Latex free
Uff these are my favorites by kick. Because they do not smell latex, and because they are very thin (in the case of Lifestyle SKYN). There are people who are allergic to latex, and who need to occupy this type of condom, or if they do not have rashes, extreme dryness, etc. These are made of polysoprene, and they wear it, that's all I can tell you, so I recommend it even if you do not have a latex allergy.

Delaying condoms and their advantages


Delaying condoms and their advantages

The condom industry has come a long way since the appearance of the first condoms to date. And is that the best brands of these popular and effective methods of protection have included reforms that not only allow you to fulfill its main functions - how to protect against venereal diseases that could be acquired through sexual intercourse without protection or prevent an unwanted pregnancy - but also they have become an extension of pleasure for the couple, thanks to the retardant condoms.

Different types of condoms for each need
Let's think that condoms have long ceased to be simple protectors: now they come with flavors and smells that increase the pleasure experience of those who use them, with stimulators - filled with roughness, grooves and points designed to maximize the stimulation of the couple- or with an ultra-sensitive effect for those who want to emulate a natural sexual relationship but with the protection of a condom.

The point is that the market knows that variety is the taste and that is why it brings us many classes to choose from, each with its advantages and characteristics. Even when we think that a design only serves one thing - as in the case of delaying condoms - the truth is that its uses are usually more varied than what we see at first sight. Take the retardant condoms as an example.

Delaying condoms: what are they and what are their advantages?
The retardant condoms are normal condoms that incorporate something extra in their lubricant, an ingredient that produces the delay in ejaculation. Many people think that their only function then is this, but this is not totally true.

Delaying condoms can have various uses, such as:
  • - While later the man in reaching orgasm, more intense will be his pleasure: this principle is practiced since millenarian times in other cultures. It is a very common practice in Eastern countries that uses the delay of the male orgasm to maximize the pleasure received. It is not surprising that for those men who are starting out in tantric practices - or want to test what it feels like - the delaying condom is a great ally.
  • - Increase female pleasure time: the duration of an average sexual relationship is actually shorter than we think. As the fact that we want to extend it is not bad for us or for our partner, we can take advantage of the retardant effect of this type of protectors without problems.
  • - Boosting sensations: the market knows that there are men who use this type of condom to increase the pleasure of their partner. That is why they have drawn lines that, in addition to delaying ejaculation, also stimulate it while the penetration lasts through effects such as sudden changes in temperature or physical stimulators, such as furrows or rings.
  • - A remedy against premature ejaculation: finally and as expected, the active ingredient of the delaying preservatives is an adjuvant in the treatment against premature ejaculation.

As you can see, the uses of a condom with a delaying effect are quite varied and worthy of being tested at least once in a lifetime.

Rough Rider Studded Condoms 24 Pack

It is easy to make a small mess because, especially in recent decades, the variety of condoms has grown dramatically. The different brands do not stop surprising with new alternatives for what is still the contraceptive method most used by couples around the world. Different textures, specific lubricants to facilitate sexual relationships, colors, flavors ... and even female condoms.

A condom that is not right can spoil your most intimate moments. It is important to speak with each other naturally when you notice that this situation may be occurring and cause, for example, discomfort at the moment of penetration, lack of sensitivity or insecurity in the face of fear that the condom will fail. A good information on the different possibilities at your disposal will guarantee the right choice.

Most prophylactics are made of latex but if any of you have allergies to this material, you will have to choose one in polyurethane. They are a little thinner than the traditional but, on the other hand, also less flexible. Another of its advantages is that they accept any type of lubricant while with latex only water-based lubricants can be used (not those with oils in their composition), a detail to take into account if you usually apply a vaginal lubricant before maintain the relationship (maybe due to vaginal dryness problems).

Of your size
Types of condoms


Size matters and the condom also. Fortunately, standard measures, unique for years, have given way to condoms that adapt perfectly to the shape and size of the penis so that they are comfortable and safe. Your partner will have to do different tests before finding the one that best suits their physical characteristics. There are different length and thickness. To know which is the most appropriate, check with him that, once placed, the condom arrives perfectly and without forcing the latex to the base of the penis, without oppressing but with a comfortable adhesion. If you can not find the exact size you can try it with anatomical condoms specially designed to adapt completely to the shape of the penis.

Condoms are usually presented in a small hermetic envelope that protects them from the outside and keeps them in perfect condition with the lubricant that most of them have incorporated. This lubricant will help its correct placement and facilitate penetration.

Others, the newest, are perfect to surprise the couple or to enjoy a special night with a fun touch. They are the condoms of colors (even fluorescents that shine in the dark) that are also impregnated with "edible" gels of the most appetizing flavors and aromas: strawberry, vanilla, chocolate ... placed correctly they are as safe as the traditional ones and can result perfect to break the monotony if it begins to make an appearance in your relationships.

Types of condoms

Some couples say that with the condom sensitivity is lost in contact. If this happens to you, you can try the extra fines of the different brands. They do not have to break and are almost imperceptible. Another option is the striated or those that have small reliefs in their design. In both cases are designed to provide maximum pleasure to the couple.

If you have taken some fright and want greater security, there are also condoms that incorporate a spermicidal substance that nullifies the function of the sperm in the hypothetical case of a leak due to poor placement or a very unlikely breakage. If there is a problem with premature ejaculation or you just want to delay the moment of intercourse, there are condoms with "retardant" effect, that is, they carry a slightly anesthetic substance to reduce pleasurable sensations and sensitivity so that sexual intercourse can be more durable

Finally, remember that there is also the female condom, still little used perhaps because it requires some practice so that its placement is not difficult. This lubricated condom is placed in the vagina with the help of two flexible rings and among its advantages it stands out that it can be worn hours before the relationship.

It consists of a thin cover that fits the walls of the vagina and can be worn for up to 8 hours. Unlike the male condom it is not adjusted to tension and due to the humidity and temperature of the vagina it adheres comfortably and its presence is almost negligible. The female condom appeared in 1992 in England and the United States and immediately spread its use throughout Europe and the rest of the world.

HISTORY OF THE CONDON

According to data from the World Health Organization, about 448 million new curable sexually transmitted infections are produced each year, including syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia and trichomoniasis, chlamydia and trichomoniasis in sexually active people between 15 and 49 years of age. . More than 80% of HIV infections are transmitted sexually, and risky sexual practices give rise to about 80 million unwanted pregnancies each year.

Many people do not perceive themselves at risk, shortly afterwards, millions of them know they were wrong when their cases become annual statistical figures.

From distant times, some people did perceive themselves exposed to unwanted pregnancies or to contract some sexually transmitted infection and looked for options. This is a quick tour of the history of the condom, from its origins to the present day.

Once Upon a time …. A condom

Condom

  • An animal gut knotted at one end was one of the first condom prototypes used by the Egyptians since 1000 BC.
  • In Europe, the earliest evidence of condom use is seen in cave paintings in Combarelles in France.
  • Gabrielle Fallopius - her name attributed to the feminine horns - gave condoms a prophylactic use. He designed a wrap made of linen and was tested with 1100 men, none infected with syphilis.
  • In 1766 many businesses published pamphlets and advertisements about the condom useful as a prophylactic and contraceptive.
  • Casanova, legendary lover of the nineteenth century, was a regular user of the condom referred to as "Redingote Anglaise" (English layer of riding).
  • In the nineteenth century the Japanese used the "Kawagata" or "Kyotai" condom made of fine leather and the "Kabutogata" another variant of condom made from the turtle shell or ivory.
  • Ancient Condom In the 1840s the rubber condom was developed shortly after the creation of vulcanized rubber, developed by Goodyear and Hancock. Vulcanization makes rubber an elastic and strong material.
  • In the 30s, the liquid manufacture of latex begins, the basis for the manufacture of condoms until today


FEMALE CONDOMS
  • The female condom, female condom or vaginal condom is a barrier contraceptive method of vaginal use alternative to the male condom. The female condom provides protection against pregnancy and also against infections that spread during sexual contact, such as HIV.

The female condom appeared in 1992 in England and the United States and immediately spread its use throughout Europe and the rest of the world.1
  • The first condom or female condom (CF) was made of synthetic plastic called polyurethane. Its design provides greater protection to women against sexually transmitted diseases, such as HPV-human papilloma virus- and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); It prevents the contact of the male genitalia and the semen (where the sperm are found) with the vagina and external female genitalia, limiting access to the ovum, and prevents pregnancy. It also protects the male's scrotum from being exposed to infection by inserting it anteriorly or posteriorly.
  • It is estimated that its effectiveness is 88% to 98% if it is used correctly.2
  • In addition to the polyurethane CF, there is the nitrile - second generation - since 2007. Both are more resistant than male latex condoms, have a less frequent breakage potential, greater physical protection (protected sex) and comfort, as well as a period of longer conservation, even when storage conditions are unfavorable.

The main disease that is transmitted through this route is the human papillomavirus (HPV). Visually, in men, it manifests as warts that, if the woman comes into contact with her mouth in oral practice without using a condom, there is a high probability of infection.

This disease, the human papillomavirus, moves to the cervix of the woman and, if not treated properly, can lead to cancer. Other STDs that can be spread if you do not have adequate protection are HIV, gonorrhea, syphilis or even herpes.

The condom must be used from beginning to end since the disease can be transmitted through pre-seminal fluid, semen or blood that may come out of a wound that our partner has. In the case that it is the man who practices oral sex with his partner, the contagion will go through the vaginal fluids.

Are there special condoms for this practice?
Yes, oral sex is another sexual practice that may have risks and, therefore, it is necessary to protect yourself using a condom. To be something pleasant for men, they tend to be thinner than those used for penetration, in addition, to make it pleasant for women, they do not have lubricant and there is a wide range of flavors so you can choose the one you like the most.

  • - Take care of your hygiene. It's obvious, but if you're going to have oral sex, you'll have to be more careful. It is an intimate practice with your partner, so, in case you do not have the proper hygiene, in a certain way, it can be considered a little disrespect towards the other person.
  • - Control the rhythm. This has to be matched to the degree of excitement of the moment. It does not help if you go too fast or too slow if the other person is not what you need.

This condom is quite lubricated and has a sweetish taste. It felt hot at the time of penetration and I reached the rapid orgasm; I think it also helps women to lubricate naturally. Everything enters through the eyes: its presentation is very elegant and sober, and a penis modeling this condom looks good, since it is transparent.

According to Cristian:

Not only is it one of the most expensive condoms, it is also the largest and most ostentatious packaging. We made a quick review to feel its texture, color and smell, we adjusted it to the penis easily and we had a task in which its presence was not felt. The product is worth what it costs for its quality, its stimulating texture and its smell, which does not leave the feeling of latex.


Today lubricated ($ 6,850)

According to Andrea:

These condoms are very soft, the smell of latex is almost minimal and the lubricant feels very natural, zero excesses. A condom that goes unnoticed because it complies with the basics.

According to Cristian:

Undoubtedly, the most popular brand of condoms in Colombia. Well, we will call it the base condom of the test, because in all the standards it was neither above nor below. From my critical review, it is the original combat condom, with a slight smell of latex. Responsibly fulfilled his task of providing a lot of sensitivity at the time of penetration.


Mystic Combo Pack ($ 5,100)

According to Andrea:

The presentation is very ugly, especially if you add that the box says "combo pack". When you take it out of the package, it gets an incredibly strong latex smell. It is very narrow and yellow in color, it has nuggets in charge of stimulating the vaginal walls and it feels like a rascaencías. The feeling is very nice.

According to Cristian:

The brand is not as recognized as the others, but it has a lot to offer. The biggest "but" of this product is its intense latex smell. Its texture, however, comfortably fits the penis and provides full sensitivity. It comes in more than eight presentations, which undoubtedly confuses the user when it comes to being at the counter.


Duo Lubricados ($ 6,710)

According to Andrea:

If a condom says lubricated, it is assumed that extra help such as saliva would not be necessary. The sexual experience with these condoms was very interrupted, since we had to stop every so many penetrations to make "accommodation of the rubber". With moisture, the penis looks white, quite unpleasant.

According to Cristian:

Duo was the last of the condoms we tried. With a slight smell of latex and a simple presentation, Duo is a condom that can also be considered combat and highly recommended. With a texture that gives a lot of sensitivity, it has an elastic surface with grooves that give more pleasure and help stimulate.


Male condoms


Male condoms

General description

A male condom is a thin coating that is placed over the erect penis. If you stay in place during intercourse, oral sex or anal sex, the male condom is an effective way to protect yourself and your partner from sexually transmitted infections. Male condoms are also an effective way to prevent pregnancy.

Condoms - also called "condoms", "balloons" or "beanies" - are usually made of latex, but some are made of polyurethane or lambskin. Latex and polyurethane condoms provide the greatest protection against sexually transmitted infections.

Male condoms are easy to use, inexpensive and can be easily obtained. They are available with or without lubricant, and in a variety of lengths, shapes, widths, thicknesses and colors. Some condoms are textured to increase the sensations.

Why is it done?

If you use male condoms correctly every time you have sex, they will be very effective in preventing pregnancy and the transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes AIDS. Condoms also reduce the risk of contracting other sexually transmitted infections, such as gonorrhea and chlamydia.

Condoms do not have the side effects observed in some forms of female contraception, such as pills or contraceptive injections, or possible complications of the intrauterine device (IUD). They are available without a prescription, so it's easy to have one on hand when you need it.

Risks

Male condoms are generally safe and effective. However, there are some things you should keep in mind:

  •     Condoms can cause a latex allergy. The reactions to latex can be rash, hives, runny nose and, in severe cases, tightness of the airways and lowering of blood pressure. If you or your partner are allergic to latex, a polyurethane or lambskin condom can be an alternative.
  •     Condoms are not infallible. There is still a risk of getting a sexually transmitted infection or becoming pregnant when a condom is used, especially if it breaks or goes away during sex.

How to prepare

It is possible to acquire male condoms without a prescription. They are sold in many stores and can also be found in vending machines in some bathrooms. Condoms can be cheaper and can also be obtained free of charge in family planning clinics. School nurses and university health centers often have condoms available for free.

Finding the right type of condom for you may require a bit of trial and error. It is important that it fits well. If it is too tight, it is more likely to break. If it's too loose, it could come out. Some men feel that condoms reduce pleasure or are uncomfortable. You can prefer a certain type of condom because it is more comfortable or generates more pleasure in sexual relationships.

Some condoms are lubricated with nonoxynol-9, a substance that kills sperm (spermicide) and is designed to help prevent pregnancy. However, condoms without spermicide are a better option for several reasons:

    Condoms with spermicide do not seem to be more effective than other lubricated condoms for preventing pregnancy.
    Nonoxynol-9 can irritate or damage the skin cells of the vagina or rectum. This could potentially increase the risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections.
    Spermicide does not help protect you or your partner from HIV / AIDS or other sexually transmitted infections.
    Condoms with spermicide are more expensive than other types of condoms and expire faster.

Security tips for the use of condoms

Male condoms do not last forever, and should be used properly to prevent pregnancy and protect against sexually transmitted infections. Follow these tips to use condoms safely and effectively:

  •     Store the condoms in a cool, dry place. Exposure to air, heat and light increases the chances of condoms breaking. Do not keep condoms in a wallet or pocket for more than a month. Do not keep condoms in your glove compartment for long periods of time. Friction and heat can cause condoms to break and become less reliable.
  •     Verify the expiration date. Do not use expired condoms.
  •     Verify that the condoms are not damaged. Look for signs of wear, breaks or small holes before using them.
  •     Be sure to use only water-based lubricants. Some examples are Astroglide and KY gel. If you use latex condoms, do not use oil-based lubricants such as petroleum jelly, baby oil, mineral oil, olive oil or other cooking oils, whipped cream, face cream, sunscreen, moisturizers or other lotions. They can weaken latex condoms and could cause them to break.
  •     Never reuse a condom. Doing so increases the risk of pregnancy and the spread of sexually transmitted infections.
  •     Use only latex or polyurethane condoms to prevent sexually transmitted infections. Lambskin condoms do not provide protection against sexually transmitted infections as effectively as latex or polyurethane condoms. Read the label of the condom wrapper to see what it is made of and if it is indicated for the prevention of sexually transmitted infections.
  •     Use a condom in all sexual relationships. Doing so will help protect you from sexually transmitted infections, have vaginal, oral or anal sexual contact.

What you can expect

It is important that male condoms are used carefully, correctly and consistently. Here is how to use a condom correctly:

  •     Put on the condom before any type of sexual contact. Keep in mind that even before the male sexual orgasm (ejaculation), sexually transmitted infections can be transmitted and pregnancy can occur.
  •     Open the package with care. Do not use your teeth or your nails.
  •     Apply lubricant on the outside of the condom. This step may not be necessary if you use a pre-lubricated condom.
  •     Run the foreskin backwards. This step is only necessary if you are not circumcised.
  •     Place the tip of the condom rolled over the penis. The penis must be erect before placing a condom. The rolled edge should face outwards. If you start to put the condom and you realize that the side is rolled inward, discard it and use another condom.
  •     Gently press the tip of the condom to remove air. This step is not necessary if the condom has a tip with a reservoir.
  •     Slide the condom down. Make sure it covers the entire penis and removes air bubbles.
  •     After intercourse, take the base of the condom before removing it. This will prevent the condom from coming off before you get away from your partner.
  •     Discard the condom in the trash. Do not throw condoms down the toilet.

Results

Male condoms are an effective method of contraception. However, in one year, there will be a pregnancy in approximately 1 of 50 couples who use condoms correctly. The chances of pregnancy increase if you do not use the condom always during sex, or if you use it incorrectly.

Condoms are effective in preventing the transmission of most sexually transmitted infections, although there is still some risk. When you use it correctly, the condom creates a barrier that limits your exposure, and that of your partner, to semen or other body fluids that can transmit sexually transmitted infections.
