e really hate to do this. Someone should have done it before us, but it’s time for The Talk. The one about protection. It goes something like this: Put on a condom before you go in, damn it.
Condoms get wrongfully denounced as the public enemy of sexual pleasure, kind of the opposite of lube. But if that’s the case, you’re just not using the right one. The perfect pairing can actually bring your hook-up to the next level, even if you’ve got sensitive skin.
To start, we must accept that there’s not a one-size-fits-all solution, literally. Fit is a big factor. Materials also matter, especially if you’re allergic to latex. (And not just “allergic to latex.”) Textures and shapes can augment pleasure as well as safety. And thinness really plays a part in getting the barely-there natural high during the deed.
So, we’ve nominated 13 of the best condoms in the market. Each will do their part of safeguarding against STDs and pregnancies without killing the heat. So start being the sex-positive, healthy guy who can turn safer sex into better sex. And it’s probably best to shop here, way better than at your local CVS.
SKYNs are stretchy enough for water balloon fights (don’t do this, please) and good enough for their intended purpose. Actually, they’re excellent! They’re free from allergens, heighten sensitivity, natural enough to feel like a piece of skin, and made in polyisoprene, for a much more arousing heat transfer. You’ll feel everything you need—and more.
Sustain takes out all the shit about a condom that would typically cause issues, irritation, or cancer. There’s no GMOs, no nitrosamines, no parabens, no fragrances, and no animal products (which is very uncommon, believe it or not). Plus, the brand donates one percent of sales to women’s healthcare orgs.
It’s as clean as a condom gets, perfect for those that really care about the ingredients list.
Nice
