The Complete Guide on How to Buy Condoms
If you think safer sex, condoms come to mind first.
They’ve been around a long time and you don’t need a doctor’s prescription.
Cool.
However, over the years, one of the conundrums for guys was where and how to buy condoms. For some, there is a layer of purchasing embarrassment given the personal nature of the product. Luckily, we have the Internet and so our method for buying condoms has never been more comfortable.
For everyone who wants to have safer sex, go ahead, conveniently shop from the privacy of your smartphone or computer.
With so many condoms out there – including different types as well as different brands – we’ll admit that it can be a little overwhelming sometimes, especially at first. That’s why we put together the following buyer's guide to make how to buy condoms online as easy as possible for you.
Why do we bother with using condoms in the first place?
Before jumping into our guide on how to buy condoms let's reiterate the ever-important reason for putting on a condom.
The prophylactic is the only device that can, if used correctly every time, help reduce STDs and also prevent unintended pregnancies. For these two simple yet very important reasons, condoms are priceless devices for every man.
What you should know
Before you go on your condom shopping spree, let us give you a bit more insight. As we just alluded, all condoms are for pregnancy protection. However, how you actually use them determines their effectiveness. Their effectiveness ranges based on a type of use, which varies from perfect (98%!) to typical and inconsistent scenarios. Since this article guides you on how to buy condoms, for more in-depth questions regarding condom effectiveness, refer to our article where we describe this topic.
Natural latex, polyisoprene and more
The time when you had to depend on a single material (latex) is thankfully long gone. Nowadays, manufacturers use several materials when making their condoms. Whether you use the widely accepted natural latex or any other alternative, it's good to know condom lubricant compatibilities and effectiveness capabilities.
We recommend reading the product descriptions either on the product page or packaging itself for those details. Manufacturers always have the last say, so listen to what they recommend. You can also shoot us an email if you have some condom-related questions. We always do our best to help.

Condom Sizes
Condoms are not all the same because men are not the same. These products come in a few sizes just like t-shirts do. We sorted our rubbers for you by size.
- Smaller (S)
- Regular or Medium (M)
- Large (L)
- Extra large (XL)
How to know what size condom to buy?
Condom size can be a bit of a guessing game, especially if you are new to using condoms. As there are primarily only four size groups, you can try a few condom samples to discover what's the right fit for you. Once you settle your size category, go explore.
Condom Brands
We’re actually rather picky about who we accept into our selection. We believe offering an immense array of condoms might be more confusing than beneficial to you as a shopper. Plus, we like to offer you the best quality so you never have to guess if what you order is great. That’s why we only carry condoms from the leading brands.
Trojan
You get plenty of condom types to choose from with this company. Trojan is the #1 brand Americans trust. Every day in the USA, the vast majority of johnsons, willies, sausages and penises dress themselves up in Trojan Condoms.

You won't believe it's not latex. The polyisoprene material used to make this condom mimics traditional natural rubber latex but doesn’t have any latex allergens. What’s even better is that it absolutely has very similar, if not better, elastic characteristics. SKYN Condoms are a great option for anyone, not just for allergy sufferers. Everyone who wants to use protection should give these a try at some point. In case you didn’t know, LifeStyles brings you the SKYN line so you know they are top notch.

Types of condoms
There are many types of condoms for you to choose from today, including a bunch of shapes and styles. Go down the list to see what we have for you.
Non-Latex
Non-latex condoms are not just for allergy sufferers. Anyone can enjoy sex with condoms that don’t contain any latex allergen ingredients that might irritate, especially if you are sensitive.
Ultra Thin
It's all about getting closer and the ultra-thin category has plenty to offer. With condoms that are even thinner than the rest, you get to enjoy better sensitivity and that certainly helps you feel the intimacy more.
Climax Control
When you want to have your climax under control, turn to condoms with a penis desensitizing lubricant. These help you prolong your humping rendezvous.
Ribbed
Ribbed condoms give you some extra help in stimulating your partner. As you move up and down or in and out, the ribs or studs work their magic.
Spermicide
One of the purposes of condoms is pregnancy prevention. Spermicide condoms have lube with N-9 that kills sperm on the spot.
Flavored
These are not only flavored but also scented too. Imagine smelling fresh oranges or strawberries while going at it. You have a choice here as well so go do some shopping to find your fave.
Colored
Condoms are no longer just available in a single and bland, neutral color. Some are yellow, red, pink, blue, orange... If you want to stimulate your visual senses, shop in this category.
Thick
Thick condoms are here for you if you want that extra layer for whatever reason. These condoms are ready for any mission you might want to explore, especially those at the backdoor.
Glow-in-the-Dark
Light your way! With glowing condoms, light it up in the dark so you never again get lost trying to get it in. These fun condoms are fully functional and FDA-approved.
Non-Lubricated
You better lube it up at some point because sex with a condom lacking lubrication isn’t always super pleasant. The non-lubricated category is small, but some users prefer dry condoms with their own, or added lube.
Vegan
Being a vegan is not a fad. If you want to take your veganism 100% seriously just put on a condom that contains no animal ingredients.
Extra Lubricated
Condom lubrication is a must, and that's why the extra lubricated category offers more lube, increasing the glide for better action.
Variety
Don't settle, and instead, open your mind to diversity. This category features a few assortments, allowing you to find some new favorites.
Time to Finish
Now that you selected your favorite condoms, place them in your shopping cart and proceed to checkout. That’s it. Super duper easy.
