Condoms are very effective when it comes to protecting yourself from unwanted pregnancies or STDs.

Condoms are 98% effective at preventing pregnancy when used correctly.

This means that when 100 women use a condom correctly during sex only 2 of these women will become pregnant. Those are some really good odds!

When it comes to STDs, condoms are the only method of contraception that will protect you from picking up any nasty diseases.

Although they’re not 100% effective, condoms are by far the best way to protect yourself from STDs such as chlamydia, genital herpes, and gonorrhoea while having sex.

Be smart, be safe, and use a condom!

Ladies, if you think that all condoms are created equal then you are sadly mistaken.

There are many different kinds of condoms out there that can make your experience a whole lot better and lots of them fall into two categories.

The first kinds of condoms you want to be looking for are the kinds that are ribbed or dotted, as these will help to add extra stimulation that will make every second much more enjoyable for you.

The other kinds of condoms you want to pay attention to are those that are coated with stimulating lube, which creates tingling and warming sensations that will take you all the way to cloud nine.

Many men worry that wearing a condom will make sex less enjoyable as they won’t be able to feel the sensations quite as well.

Well, we’re happy to tell you that that simply isn’t true!

As long as you choose the right condom and make sure that your condom is the right size, you’ll be able to enjoy yourself as much as you would without a condom, maybe even more because you won’t have to worry about any unwanted pregnancy or STDs!

If you want to be sure that you can feel everything, pick up a thinner condom that will provide more sensitivity without compromising on safety.

Lube isn’t just a fun little added extra to your sex life (although it is seriously fun), but it should be considered essential if you want to have amazing sex every time.

Lube just makes everything easier and more comfortable, use as much as you need on your intimate areas to make penetration run more smoothly and feel more sensual.

And don’t stop there! Lube can be used all over the body for an intimate massage that will make you feel closer to your partner than ever before.

Some lube, like Durex Tingle lube and Durex Intense Orgasmic Gel, can even provide tingling or warming sensations that will make every your every move feel more exciting.

All Durex lubes and condoms can be used together, so your sex can be both mind-blowing and safe!

Sex toys are easy to clean when you’re done having your fun.

Just rinse them with clean water, taking care not to submerge any toys that aren’t waterproof.

Then use a small amount of sex toy cleaning spray or a little mild, fragrance-free soap to get them squeaky clean and rinse again.

When you’re done, you can either leave your toy to air dry or use a clean towel to dry it more quickly.

The best sex toy for you and your partner will depend on your relationship dynamic and what you both enjoy.

A popular first step into the world of couples toys is the vibrating love ring, which can provide pleasure for both partners as it fits around the base of the penis to provide extra sensation there, while the top of the ring provides clitoral stimulation too.

At the end of the day, we recommend having an open and honest discussion with your partner about which toys you’d like to try and which just aren’t for you.

Who knows, you might discover something that gets you both going like never before.
