There's a condom to fit you

Condoms come in a wide range of sizes (in fact Condomania alone make more than 50 size/length combinations) so there is no excuse not to find one that fits you.

If the condoms you've used before were too small, look out for brands that come in a bigger size (and try one on before you have sex so you feel more comfortable).

Remember there are non-latex condoms available as well.

It feels just as good with a condom

They say sex is in the mind and not in the contact. Protected sexual intercourse feels much better as you have peace of mind and are not worried about getting infected or passing on HIV, contracting an STI, or getting pregnant.

When using a condom your concentration is entirely on having good sex with your partner and not worrying about infection or pregnancy.

Condoms are strong

Condoms provide protection that will help to prevent HIV, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and pregnancy.

When used correctly and consistently, a condom is about 98% effective.

Remember to check that the condom is in date and the packaging is still intact.

Condoms that have been properly tested and approved carry the British Standard Kite Mark or the EEC Standard Mark (CE).
