Condoms (Male, Flavored)

Flavored Male Condom

Condoms (Male, Flavored): A flavored condom is a sheath covered in flavored lubricant designed to fit over the penis and protect from sexuality transmitted infections (STIs).

Activities: Flavored condoms should only be used during mouth-penis sex.

Risks for Penis-Vagina or Penis-Anus Sex: Due to the sugars present in flavored lubricant, flavored condoms should never be used for penis-vagina sex or penis-anus sex. Because of friction, the sugars can cause micro-tears in the tissues of the rectum and vagina, which can result in a burning sensation during use, increased risk for STI transmission, and increased risk for other vaginal and anal infections. Even if all the flavored lubricant has been removed, flavored condoms are manufactured as novelties and are more likely to break during rigorous activity than condoms designed for penis-vagina sex or penis-anus sex.

Expiration: All condoms eventually expire, so it is imperative to read the date printed on the condom packet before use. An expired condom is more likely to malfunction and should not be used.

Getting Flavored Condoms: Flavored condoms can be purchased at drug stores, convenience stores, and larger household supply stores (i.e. Target).  Some adult novelty stores or sex shops may also carry flavored condoms.

It’s a good idea to check the packaging of the flavored condoms you’re interested in to make sure they are FDA-approved for use as a barrier method of contraception and to help prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

As with all condoms, it’s important to follow the instructions for use carefully and to make sure the condom fits properly to ensure effective protection during sexual activity.

Why Use a FDA Approved Condom? Using a FDA approved condom during sexual activity is a highly effective method for preventing the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unwanted pregnancies. Condoms create a physical barrier that helps prevent the exchange of bodily fluids during sexual activity, which can reduce the risk of transmitting STIs such as HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and herpes.

In addition, condoms are readily available and easy to use, making them a convenient form of protection for sexually active individuals. They are also affordable and have few side effects, making them a safe and accessible option for people of all ages and backgrounds.

Using a condom also promotes safer and more responsible sexual behavior, as it can help prevent unintended pregnancies and the spread of STIs. Ultimately, using a condom can help individuals and their partners maintain good sexual health and well-being.

If You Feel Embarrassed Purchasing A Condom . . . 

If you feel embarrassed about purchasing a condom, there are a few things you can do to make the experience more comfortable:

  1. Order online: Many online retailers offer discreet shipping options and packaging, which can help you feel more comfortable ordering condoms.
  2. Use a self-checkout: Many drugstores and grocery stores offer self-checkout options, which can allow you to purchase condoms without having to interact with a cashier.
  3. Practice what you want to say: Rehearse what you want to say when purchasing condoms, so you can feel more confident and prepared when it’s time to make the purchase.
  4. Bring a friend: Consider bringing a trusted friend with you for support, especially if you feel nervous or embarrassed.

  1. Sensual foreplay: You can use flavored condoms during foreplay to add a new level of sensation and pleasure. Try kissing, licking, or nibbling on erogenous zones while wearing a flavored condom.
  2. Oral sex: Flavored condoms can be a great way to make oral sex more enjoyable for both partners. You can use flavored condoms during oral sex to add new flavors and sensations to the experience.
