Condoms. We all need ’em, but nobody fancies the awkward shuffle at the shop counter. Good news is, you don’t have to faff about with that anymore.

Buying condoms online is dead simple these days. No weird looks, no fumbling with change, just click and you’re sorted.

This guide’s for anyone who wants to skip the hassle and get their protection delivered right to their door. We’ll keep it real – no fluff, just the facts you need.

Condom Sizing and Fit

Let’s talk size. Getting the right fit is crucial – too tight and it’s uncomfortable, too loose and it might slip off. Measuring up is dead easy: grab a string, wrap it around the thickest part of your erect penis, and measure that length. That’s your girth. For length, measure from base to tip. Simple.

Most blokes fall into the standard size range, but if you're on the larger or smaller side, no worries. There are plenty of options out there. Proper fit means better feel and safer sex, so it's worth getting it right.

At Condom Hut, we keep our prices competitive. Check out our deals and multi-packs for the best value.

What to Look for When Buying Condoms

Before you buy, make sure you're getting the real deal:

Look for the CE or UKCA mark. These show the condoms meet European or UK safety standards.

The BSI Kitemark is another good sign. It means the condoms have been independently tested.

Always check the expiry date. Using out-of-date condoms is a no-go.

Make sure the packaging is intact. If it's damaged, don't use the condoms inside.

Additional Products to Consider

When you're sorting out your protection, there's more to think about than just condoms. Here's what else you might want to grab:

Lubricants are a game-changer. They make sex more comfortable and can even make condoms less likely to break. Water-based lubes are safe with all condoms and toys, so they're a solid choice. They're easy to wash off and don't stain sheets. Silicone-based lubes last longer but can't be used with silicone toys. If you're after something long-lasting for water play, silicone lube is your best bet.

Dental dams are thin sheets for safer oral sex on vulvas or anuses. They're not as common as condoms, but they're dead useful for reducing STI risks. You can get them in different flavours to make things more interesting. Check out options like EXS Oral Dams or UNIQ Oral Love Dental Dams.

If you're into sex toys, make sure they're condom-friendly. Silicone toys can react badly with silicone lubes and condoms, so stick to water-based lubes with those. For non-silicone toys, you've got more options. Remember to use a fresh condom on toys if you're sharing them.

Proper Condom Storage and Usage

Keeping your condoms in good nick is crucial. Here's how:

Store them somewhere cool and dry - not in your wallet or glove box. Heat and friction can damage them. A bedside drawer or a cool, dry cupboard is perfect. Avoid anywhere that gets direct sunlight or could get damp.

Always check the expiry date before you use one. If it's past its best, bin it and grab a fresh one. It's worth checking your stash every few months to make sure they're all still good to go.

Using a condom right isn't rocket science, but there's a knack to it:

1. Open the packet carefully - no teeth or scissors. You don't want to nick the condom.
2. Check which way it rolls down. If you put it on the wrong way, don't flip it - grab a new one.
3. Pinch the tip to get rid of air bubbles. This leaves room for when you ejaculate.
4. Roll it all the way down to the base of the penis.
5. After you're done, hold the base while you pull out. This stops it slipping off.
6. Wrap it in tissue and bin it - never flush it. Condoms can block pipes and aren't great for the environment when flushed.

If you're using condoms for anal sex, use extra lube. The anus doesn't self-lubricate like a vagina does, so you need to add your own to keep things comfortable and reduce the risk of the condom breaking.

Frequently Asked Questions

How old do I need to be to buy condoms?

There's no age limit. You can buy them at any age, no questions asked. This applies whether you're buying online or in a shop. Some people feel awkward buying condoms young, but remember - being responsible about sex is always a good thing, no matter your age.

What if I'm allergic to latex?

No worries - there are non-latex options like polyurethane or polyisoprene condoms. They work just as well. These are great for people with latex allergies or sensitivities. Check out brands like SKYN for non-latex options. They tend to be a bit more expensive, but they're just as effective. Some people even prefer them as they transmit heat better, which can increase sensation.

How effective are condoms?

When used correctly, condoms are about 98% effective at preventing pregnancy. They're also great at reducing STI risks, but no method is 100% foolproof. The key is using them correctly every time. Most condom failures happen because of user error, not because the condom itself is faulty. That's why it's important to know how to use them properly.Remember, condoms are the only contraceptive method that also protects against STIs. Even if you're using another form of contraception, condoms are a good idea if you're not sure about your partner's STI status. For extra protection, consider extra safe condoms or Durex Extra Safe.
