Choosing the right condom

There is a number of condom brands on today`s market available in different shapes and sizes. I`m referring to male condoms here though there are female condoms too. Condoms are usually made of latex. These are most popular but it`s not the only material used for condom manufacturing. Also polyurethane in widely used for the condom manufacture. Polyurethane condoms have an advantage for people allergic to latex. Polyurethane has also a unique ability to transmit body heat and make an intercourse even more exciting. Both Trojan and Durex have their own products. Trojan Supra or Durex Avanti.
Other condom material is lambskin using lamb intestines. Though those are great for their ability to transmit body warmth but don`t protect against STD`s. Why is that? Because pores in the material are large enough to allow infestious bacterias go through. Doesn`t contain latex allergens. Ideal for the monogamous couples.
Because both polyurethane and lambskin condoms are not made of latex they are not that elastic. They are also more expensive.

Always use water-based lubricants with latex condoms and other material types..
