Selecting a condom used to be easy; there were only a few choices. Today, lovers have hundreds of condoms to choose. When sizing up your smorgasbord of potential sensations, consider the following options in selecting your ideal condom:

Fit
One size does not fit all. Condoms that are too tight are likelier to break, especially during vigorous sex. A condom that is too loose, on the other hand, can fall off at any point. You want a condom with a snug fit, with some extra space at the tip.

Contour
Piggy-backing off of fit, consider the shape of your condom. Some are "regular," as in having straight sides. Others are form fitting, having indented sides. Either can impact your level of comfort.

Thickness
Thicker latex condoms can reduce sensation for some men.

Tip
Some condoms come with a nipple-shaped tip to catch semen. Some are advertised as having extra baggy heads which are designed for increased sensation. These tend to get good reviews from men who are on the larger side and leave enough room for men with a piercing.

Texture
Condoms are available with ribs, bumps, studs or totally smooth for his and her pleasure.

Color and Look
Personal preferences enhance pleasure, including how the condom appeals to you visually. The condom’s color can reflect the moment’s mood. Consider, for example, the fun to be had with Glow-in-the-Dark condoms.

Lubricated
Not all condoms come with lubricant or the type of lube you prefer, like aloe versus aqua-based. You may need extra. Lubricant can completely change the feel of your condom. Adding a couple of drops inside of the condom head can make all of the difference in the world.

Spermicide
Most condom varieties are available with a spermicidal lubricant, though often not enough to kill all sperm effectively. While spermicide may offer extra protection when it comes to pregnancy, this nonoxynol-9 chemical may irritate some people.

Scent and Taste
Matters like flavors and aromas can act as a total turn on or turn off. You need to explore what works best for you and your lover.

Warming
These condoms release a warm sensation during sex. They contain a warming lubricant, which is activated by natural body moisturizers for some extra heat.
