Durex Thin Feel Condoms, Pack of 100

Product Information

Condoms are thin, stretchy pouches that you wear on your penis during sex. Condoms provide great protection from both pregnancy and STDs. They’re easy to use and easy to get. What’s a condom and how does it work? You can use any type of lubricant with polyurethane condoms that are not made of latex. However, if you're using latex or polyisoprene condoms, do not use oil-based lubricants – such as lotion, body oil or petroleum jelly (Vaseline). This is because oil-based lubricants can damage the condom and make it more likely to split. Condoms with spermicide Sperm can sometimes get into the vagina or anus during sex, even when using a condom. This may happen if: you're using medicine for conditions like thrush, such as creams, pessaries or suppositories – this can damage latex and polyisoprene condoms, and stop them working properly If you feel like you absolutely can’t go into a store and buy condoms for yourself, ask someone you trust for help. You can also visit a Planned Parenthood health center or other community health center for condoms and advice about birth control and STDs. How much do condoms cost?

In most areas you can get free condoms from sexual health clinics and some GP practices, pharmacies or young people’s clinics. In many areas you may be able to have free condoms delivered by post. Any kind of lubricant can be used with condoms that are not made of latex. If you’re using latex or polyisoprene condoms, do not use oil-based lubricants, such as: Condoms are very strong but may split or tear if not used properly. If this happens to you, practise putting them on so you get used to using them.You can use another form of contraception, such as the contraceptive pill or implant, for extra protection against pregnancy. Dams can be harder to find than condoms. You can buy dams online, or in some sex shops or drug stores. You may also be able to find them at some sexual health centers, like your local Planned Parenthood. You can also make a dam by cutting open a condom or internal condom — just cut the tip off so it’s open at both ends, cut the condom from the bottom to the top, open it up, and lay it over your partner’s vulva and/or anus. Some couples find that using condoms interrupts sex. Communicating about sex with your partner can help avoid embarrassment and make sex better.

Some people may be allergic to latex, plastic or spermicides. You can get condoms that are less likely to cause an allergic reaction. Condoms are the only type of contraception that can both prevent pregnancy and protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Some condoms come with spermicide on them. You should avoid using this type, or using spermicide as a lubricant, as it does not protect against STIs and may increase your risk of infection. Who can use condoms? Using condoms + another form of birth control (like the pill, IUD, or shot) is a great way to get extra pregnancy prevention AND protection against STDs. Using withdrawal (“pulling out”) while also wearing a condom can help keep sperm out of the vagina and lower the risk for pregnancy. If the condom won’t roll down, you’re probably holding it the wrong way round. If this happens, throw the condom away because it may have sperm on it, and try again with a new one.When using condoms, personal lubricants (also known as lube) make it less likely that the condom will break, slip or fall off, which increases protection against unintended pregnancy and most STIs, including HIV. Use of a water- or silicone-based lube is recommended, as other types may cause the condom to break down, such as kitchen oil, butter and hand lotion.
