WHAT ARE FLAVOURED CONDOMS?

A male condom is a thin sheath worn over the penis during sex. It helps reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and is also a barrier method of contraception, preventing pregnancy by stopping male sperm from reaching eggs.

Strawberry flavoured condoms count as regular condoms, usually made of latex, with added food-grade flavour and scent. Non-latex versions are also available. The flavouring masks the rubbery taste, making oral sex more pleasant for the person giving it.

These condoms are designed for couples to enhance oral intimacy without having any awkward experiences during oral intimacy because flavoured condoms are designed to hide the taste of latex, so couples don’t hesitate to enjoy.

WHAT FLAVOURS ARE AVAILABLE?

The best flavoured condoms are available in various categories, such as food-grade, sweet flavours, and mint flavours. Some of them are only designed for oral sex, and many of them are for vaginal sex, like banana flavour condoms.

Strawberry and chocolate flavoured condoms are the easiest starting points for beginner couples, and bubblegum flavoured condoms are very sugary, so it is more of a novelty for oral sex.

ARE FLAVOURED CONDOMS SAFE FOR ORAL SEX?

Yes. As we discussed earlier, these are especially designed for oral intimacy, so they are safe. Also, you need to make sure you are purchasing a pack of condoms from a trusted brand and use them correctly as per the given instructions. They are safe for oral intimacy and reduce the risk of infections like herpes, gonorrhoea and syphilis. Note: No condom removes risk completely. 

To stay safe:

Make sure the pack is for oral sex.

Check the expiry date and safety mark on the flavoured condom pack.

Do not reuse a condom every time you engage in intimacy 

You should choose a non-latex flavored condom if you have a latex allergy that can cause genital irritation.

If you are planning to use lubricant, go for water-based lube only.

CAN YOU USE FLAVOURED CONDOMS FOR VAGINAL SEX?

Usually not. The sugar in the flavouring can irritate the skin, upset the natural balance, and lead to a yeast infection. Only use one for vaginal sex if the packet clearly says it is suitable.

SHOULD YOU BUY A VARIETY PACK?

If you are not sure what you will like best in flavoured condoms, then yes, you should buy a variety pack. These packs usually come in 6 to 24 condoms with a few of each flavour, and they often cost less per condom than separate boxes.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF FLAVOURED CONDOMS?

• They make couples comfortable for oral sex.
• They add a playful touch to intimacy.
• They encourage consistent condom use, because they feel less awkward.
• They offer plenty of choice.

HOW CAN YOU SELECT THE RIGHT FLAVOURED CONDOM?

Consider four basic things: what it is for (only for oral play or multi-purpose), the safety mark and expiry date, the material (latex or non-latex) and the fit. A condom that is too loose can slip, and the one that is too tight can break. Pick a flavour last.
