Condoms

Condoms and dental dams for safer sex: vegan Glyde condoms in sizes from Slimfit to Super Max, flavoured options, latex-free Mates SKYN, classic Mates condoms, Sheer Glyde dental dams and money-saving bulk packs.

Getting the right fit

Condoms that are too tight can split, and ones that are too loose can slip off. Glyde's range runs from Slimfit through to Maxi and Super Max, so if standard condoms feel uncomfortable, try a size up or down. Check the expiry date and store condoms away from heat.

Latex allergy?

Choose a non-latex condom such as Mates SKYN, which is made from polyisoprene. With any condom, use water-based or silicone-based lube, never oil.

Dental dams

Dams are thin sheets used as a barrier during oral sex on the vulva or anus. Sheer Glyde dams come in a choice of flavours. More in sexual health.

What goes well with condoms? A cock ring adds sensation for both partners, and condoms are worth using on any couples' toys you share.
