Condom material:
Latex
Most of condoms manufactured and used are made of latex, or synthetic latex, and do not contain pores. This type of material is carried by a wide selection of brands. It’s the least expensive, and it’s also the most regulated type of condom. These condoms are durable and won’t rip if they are used with water-based lubricant.
Polyurethane
This is a synthetic material that is recommended for people who are allergic or sensitive to latex. These condoms are clear in color, but not as elastic as latex, and are wider than the average sized condom. The FDA says they can be used with water- or silicone-based lubricants.
Lambskin
Lambskin condoms — made of the intestine of a lamb — are the oldest type of condoms that are effective in preventing pregnancy, but not in preventing STDs or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission. These condoms also offer a more natural feel and can be used with both water-based and oil-based lube. They are more expensive and do not offer protection against infections.
Lubricated condoms:
Condoms with a water-based or silicone-based lubricant coating are intended to ease penetration and minimize friction and the risk of ripping.
Example of water based lubricated condoms brands: Durex Natural Feeling, Kamsutra smooth,
Spermicidally Lubricated
Condoms that contain spermicidal lubricant, Nonoxynol-9 (N-9), were thought to reduce sperm movement and therefore, prevent pregnancy. In 2007, the FDA issued a final notice that required manufacturers to state the chemical N-9 does not provide protection against infection from HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) or other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). N-9 can also cause irritation, small sores in people, and can actually provide the breeding grounds for HIV transmission.
Local anesthetic Lubricated
Condoms are available to claim to help in long duration of sex by locally blocking local sensation of friction and increase duration time for ejaculation. It might negatively affect person with erectile dysfunction. Also topical gel ( e.g. manforce staylong gel ) containing local anesthetics e.g. lidocaine, prilocaine are also availabe to increase climax time in men. Some herbal gels are also availabe, which contains Jyotishmati and Musk mallow (Lathakasthuri), for the same purpose e.g Himcolin gel.
Example of brands: Durex performa, Durex Pleasuremax,
Non-Lubricated
These condoms are mainly used for oral sex, and for those who have allergies or sensitivities to lubricants.
Novelty Condoms
Condoms that glow in the dark, or are flavored, are considered to be novelty condoms. According to research, flavored condoms can change the vagina’s pH and possibly lead to yeast or bacterial infection. Typically, these condoms are not recommended for vaginal or anal sex, but are deemed OK for oral sex on men. Be sure that these condoms are labeled as FDA approved to meet the agency’s standards for protection against pregnancy and STDs.
Example of flavored condoms Manforce Coffee flavor, Manforce strawberry flavor, Manforce chocolate flavor, Manforce black grapes, Kamsutra Excite Butterscotch, Durex Apple
