Our list of the best condoms (2023)

Best Condoms for Lasting Longer

Let's open with condoms that are popular because of a specific feature. The idea behind these is simple. Sex feels great (we all know that), and no one wants to cut the act of pleasure short. This is when condoms with Benzocaine lubricant on the inside come into play.

What?!

Benzocaine is a mild desensitizer that extends your penis' performance and subsequently prolongs your sexual pleasure. That is something that most everyone appreciates.

Another alternative to condoms with Benzocaine can also be  a premium delay spray that helps men with premature ejaculation.

Best Condoms for the First Time

Many want to know this, but let's be honest. If you’ve never done IT before, how would you really know if the condom you use is better than ALL others?

You’ll have a lifetime to play so… For the sake of this list, we wanted to pick something with that sense of experimentation. So we chose our variety pack that consists of many condoms. There’s a nice mix of types, brands and sizes.

First Time Buyer Variety Pack

If you buy our First-Time Variety Pack you get to explore what's available to find out what you prefer.

Best Condoms for HIM

It's no secret that a condom protects both partners but let's put the protection part aside for a little bit if you don’t mind and focus on the pleasure part alone.

Did you know that some condoms intensify a man's pleasure? It’s almost like somebody giving you a helping hand when you need it.

Condoms that are a bit larger or looser on top are a great example of what’s best for him. The concept is simple and works like this. Your penis doesn’t feel trapped and enjoys its freedom to move, which consequently makes the little (or big) guy much happier.

  • Deep ribs

Best Condoms for HER

Since we just elevated male pleasure when it comes to using certain types of condoms, it’s only fair to do the same for women.

When the lower part of the condom shaft features ribbing (or studs), it makes more of an impact on the female anatomy. Sensitivity levels differ among women, but generally speaking, a studded shaft stimulates her more.

Condoms with unique features like ribs or studs actually favor both partners a bit differently, and are definitely worth trying So, if you are wondering what is the best condom for HER, make sure to explore these and see what you think.

Best Feeling Condoms

Prevention and protection is the primary reason behind using condoms so what else do users expect from prophylactics? You can't blame anyone for wanting the best feeling and that is what ultra-thin condoms give you. They are thinner, without compromising strength or reliability.

Ultra-thin are the best condoms from the sensitivity perspective and are a favorite for a significant number of users. Try Trojan Bare Skin condoms.

Best Condoms for Oral Sex

Oral sex is a discipline that many enjoy giving and/or receiving so how do you make condoms a part of this? In the past it was somewhat tricky to choose because most rubbers didn’t smell or taste so great. Today's condoms don’t smell much if at all. In general, flavored condoms are a great fit for oral sex.

If you choose to use a condom for oral sex, choose one that is ultra thin and therefore much more sensitive.

NAME / BRAND DESCRIPTION BUY
Durex iNViSiBLE Ultra Thin

  • Ultra thin — Ultra sensitive
  • Lubricated
  • Pleasant scent
  • Reservoir tip
  • Made of natural rubber latex
DETAIL

Best Flavored Condoms

Ultra thin rubbers are one option for an oral sex rendezvous but so are flavored varieties.

The best-flavored condoms are those that taste and smell like fresh fruits that stimulate your senses.

We have it so good nowadays since some condoms taste like banana, blueberry, strawberry, orange... Close your eyes and feel like you are eating a juicy cherry after shopping at the supermarket.

If the oral sex options didn't make you happy to be alive, we have another winner for you coming up next.

How to select the best condom for you?

Size

To find out what size category your member falls into you can do one of two things. Measure yourself to get your girth and determine whether you need small, regular, large or extra large rubbers. Or, try a bunch of condoms until you find your match. Either way, we encourage you to review our condom size chart to better understand the size deal.

Type

Another criteria for you to consider is the condom type. Do you want ribs or studs? Do you like a certain flavor? Would a color liven things up?

Brand

The condom brand has very little to do with selecting the best condom for you. Of course, you should choose a reputable brand, but after that it’s up to you.

That’s because, unless you make your purchase on the black market, the FDA regulates and oversees the quality of prophylactics. It is your preference that matters not the brand.

Conclusion

Now that you’ve seen our list of the best condoms to try in 2023 you know there is lots of pleasure ahead for you in the coming months.

Even better news is there are lots of other great condoms out there that didn’t get a chance to shine on our list this year.

As for 2023, we’ve given you lots of the best condoms. Take our recommendations or find your own. As long as you use protection, that’s what matters.
