Feeling Different?

Textured condoms such as ribbed (with tiny ripple-like ribs) and dotted (with dots or studs) varieties claim to heighten pleasure. "They are supposed to be more stimulating for the vagina. But what really works is between the ears and the not the legs," says Sexologist, Dr. Prakash Kothari.

Although sexologists don't confirm this fact, the increasing sales of textured condoms indicates otherwise.

Smooth Operator

Smooth condoms have extra lubrication for a really smooth going. This variety claims to leave you both longing for more.

When You Say Nothing at All

If you compare sex with a condom to kissing with a plastic between your lips, then the super thin condom is for you. It is supposed to feel like wearing nothing at all, allowing you to enjoy till the last breath! Though they may provide more pleasure, they are delicate. It is safer for all you wild things to stick with the thick condoms.

Shapely Times

For that snug fit with a long lasting orgasmic number, try shaped condoms. These varieties come with a nipple in the front to hold on to the fluids and the nipple-less ones. They come in different sizes as well.

Paint My Love

Are you more of a visual person? Yes? Then coloured condoms might just be the thing to spike up your sexual experience. Alternative Medical Therapist, Dr. Vimal Mehta says, "Red, green and black enhance sexual desire in a person." So be sure to pick the colour.

Greased Lightening

Pre-lubricated spermicidal condoms are another wise choice. The condom is lined with a spermicidal gel to kill sperms and any STD-causing viruses. "The spermicidal gel will work so long as you wear the condom in the correct way. It doesn't safeguard against any spills," explains sexologist Dr. Jayshree Jhaveri.

Taste It

Let your tongue in on the action with flavoured condoms. They are not lubricated and are usually used for oral sex. They are available in flavours ranging from strawberry to banana and mint to beer.

Though available in latex, polyurethane and lamb skin varieties, latex condoms are most popular. You can choose from Durex, Kamasutra, Kohinoor, Moods, Masti, Nirodh, Fiesta and several other brands. Just make sure you check the expiry date and see that the packet is in good condition.
