If you dread buying and using condoms because they?re uncomfortable ordon?t allow for the sensations you love, well worry no more! Condomtechnology has come a long way in the last five years. Finding condomsthat not only fit properly but also allow for maximum sensation is keyto enjoying a safe and healthy sex life. At Babeland we've gone aheadand done the fun research, so are sharing the results below.

Condoms 101

Size Matters. Contrary to popular belief, condoms are availablein a variety of shapes and sizes. Condoms listed as "snugger fit" aregoing to be a little smaller than a "standard"-sized condom; condomsthat say "large" or "XL" will be larger than a standard condom. Thecatch is that some snug condoms are only shorter and not narrower,while some larger condoms are only longer and not wider. Of course,other variations are possible too so you may have to try a few sizesbefore you get the right one. And while most American-made condoms arethicker and don?t allow for maximum sensation, Japanese and Swedishcondom makers have found a way to make thin condoms that still maintaindurability.

Lube it Up. Remember that most condoms come pre-lubricated, butnot enough to allow for ongoing penetration. Please have your favoritewater or silicone-based lube on hand (oil won?t be compatible with thelatex condoms!) and add some often to keep things pleasurable for bothof you. Unlubricated condoms are available for folks that prefer to useall their own, and non-latex condoms are available for folks with latexallergies. All condoms listed below are pre-lubricated, made out oflatex, and flavorless unless listed otherwise.
