Latex condom, 15% longer and wider than a traditional condom that tapers at the base for a secure fit Inspired by the super-strong structure of graphene, Swedish brand LELO has produced the water-lubricated Hex as a unique combination of strength and thinness –and if there is a break anywhere in the condom, the hexagonal web will contain it to a single panel.Slimmer than most in more than one respect (some report that the standard Hex runs a little tighter than most brands), there's a second option for those with slightly more girth: the Hex Respect XL is 10% larger but still just as thin.

If you’re using lambskin-based external condoms, though, it is important to note that the material will not protect against STDs like other external condoms. But the material does work as contraception. Right Size Besides using external condoms to help in preventing pregnancy and STIs, they can also be used to increase pleasure and excitement in the bedroom. There are a plethora of external condoms on the market that offer added features, such as extra lubrication, a ribbed design, or a heating and cooling sensation.

pH-balanced, water-based lubricant that feels like the body’s natural lubrication; much thinner than most condoms—Men love that it is super comfortable and snug, yet not too tight, almost like not wearing a condom at all. Silicone-lubricated latex condom that offers a longer shaft, more headroom, and is thinner than standard condoms To start, we must accept that there's not a one-size-fits-all solution, literally. Fit is a big factor. Materials also matter, especially if you’re allergic to latex. (And not just "allergic to latex.") Textures and shapes can augment pleasure as well as safety. And thinness really plays a part in getting the barely-there natural high during the deed. Comfort-fit condom that has a special smooth lubricant inside (for him) and a warming, intensifying lubricant on the outside (for her) Lubricated, larger latex condom for extra comfort; thinner and tapered at the base for a secure fitWe really hate to do this.
