Condoms that can surprise
Last reviewed: 01.07.2025
As you know, progress does not stand still. Among the latest achievements of mankind in the field of contraception are chemical vaginal balls, gramicidin paste, etc. However, despite all the know-how, condoms remain the sales leaders. These products are reliable and familiar, but, if desired, a condom can also surprise.
1. Edible condoms
They do not contain latex or aromatic lubricants. These products are, of course, not suitable for sex, but such culinary creations can diversify your intimate life.
2. Glowing condoms
These models of product "№5" are used for their intended purpose, although in complete darkness such condoms can act as a flashlight. They begin to glow after 30 seconds of contact with air. The phosphorescent pigment is contained in the middle layer of the condom. The upper and lower layers are ordinary latex.

3. "Condoms on garters"
This model helps to cope with hand tremors, lack of lighting, general excessive arousal or, conversely, excessive fatigue that can overtake a man at the climax of a stormy night. It was invented by an American carpenter who himself has encountered such problems more than once. Condoms on garters are sold in the USA in millions of copies. In Russia, these products are not yet sold, but if desired, the straps can be made with your own hands.
4. Latex lotion
Sex will be safe if you apply the lotion to the penis and let it dry for a couple of seconds. The advantage of this product is that it will suit any man regardless of the size of his genital organ. It was developed by the Germans.
5. Super condoms
The British have also taken care of people with non-standard penis sizes. TheyFit employees have been working on creating super condoms for 15 years, and they have finally succeeded. Now young people choosing safe sex are offered to download a penis size chart and print out a tape measure, which is also available on the condom manufacturer's website. After all the necessary manipulations have been carried out, the man only needs to find his size in the chart and the corresponding product number from 95 different options.
