Safer Sex CONDOMS • DENTAL DAMS • GLOVES

Condoms help reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unintended pregnancy during penetrative sex. They also make clean-up easier and come in a variety of sizes, materials and textures to suit different bodies and preferences.

The effectiveness of condoms depends on the correct use. Learning how to put one on is essential for safer sex.


- Never use teeth or scissors to open the package as this might tear the condom.


- Pinch the top of the condom to leave room for the ejaculate/jizz/cum (delete as applicable).


- Place the condom on the tip of the erect penis and slowly unroll it down the shaft. (The rolled-up part should be on the outside, or you'll struggle to slide it down.)


- Adding a drop or two of water-based lubricant helps protect against unnecessary friction.


- Hold the base of the condom as you carefully remove to prevent spills.

The best condom is the one that feels comfortable and fits well. Whether you prefer ultra-thin, textured, larger, smaller or latex-free condoms, trying a few different styles can help you discover what works best for you and your partner

Keep condoms in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sharp objects. Always check the expiry date before use and avoid carrying the same condom in a wallet for long periods, as heat and friction can damage it.

Many people find that the right condom actually enhances pleasure by improving comfort and reducing anxiety about pregnancy or STIs. Ultra-thin condoms, extra lubrication and finding the correct fit can all make a noticeable difference.

Yes. Latex-free condoms provide excellent protection against pregnancy and STIs when used correctly. They're a great choice for anyone with a latex allergy or sensitivity and are often made from materials such as polyisoprene.

Yes. Water-based and silicone-based lubricants are safe to use with latex condoms and can make sex feel more comfortable and pleasurable. Oil-based products, such as massage oils or petroleum jelly, should never be used with latex condoms because they can weaken the material

A dental dam is a thin barrier placed over the vulva or anus during oral sex. It helps reduce the risk of transmitting STIs while still allowing intimacy and pleasure. Many people use flavoured dental dams to make oral sex feel more enjoyable.

Not at all. Dental dams and gloves can be used by anyone who wants to reduce the risk of STI transmission during oral or manual sex. They're suitable for people of all genders and sexual orientations.

Disposable nitrile or latex gloves create a protective barrier during fingering, fisting or other forms of manual play. They help reduce the spread of bacteria and STIs, protect sensitive skin and make changing between different types of play more hygienic.
