Condoms are the first defense against sexually transmitted infections such as HIV, as well as genital HPV and chlamydia. According to Health Canada, male condoms have a 1% breakage rate when used correctly, which greatly reduces the risk of unplanned pregnancy. Condoms not only protect, they also come in a wide range of types and styles to enhance intimacy with your partner.

1 - 6 of 53Preventing STIs with Proper Condom Use
STIs such as HIV, HPV, chlamydia and genital herpes can lead to lifelong health complications, and in extreme cases, they can cause a significant deterioration in health. Although abstinence is the only way to prevent contracting an STI altogether, with consistent and correct use, condoms are an excellent method of protection.
To ensure a condom's effectiveness, instructions on the package must be followed and they must not be past their expiration date.
Finding the Right Condom
There are several factors involved in finding the right condom for you and your partner. There are different sizes and styles of condoms, and some include features that increase or decrease sensations.
Condom Size
Size is the most important factor when choosing a condom.. It's important that the condom isn't stretched too thin, as it may increase the risk of breakage, while a condom that's worn too loose may fall off during intercourse.
Condom Materials
Most condoms are made from latex, which can be challenging for men and women with latex allergies. To accommodate people with allergies, many companies offer condoms made from alternative materials such as synthetic polyisoprene or lambskin. Likewise, while most condoms come lubricated, there are some available without to accommodate sensitivities, allergies and preferences.
Condoms also may be made from thinner latex to provide a closer, more natural feeling during intercourse, while others may be made from a denser latex to decrease sensation and prolong climax. Textured condoms, such as studded or ribbed condoms, exist to provide a more pleasurable sensation during intercourse.
Female Condoms
Those who prefer can opt for female condoms, which are inserted inside the vagina before intercourse. The shape and texture are similar to that of a male condom.
