How To Use a Condom

At Lovehoney, we’ve got a whole stack of different Johnny’s to suit most members. Whether you’re after something to fit a sizeable shaft, you’re looking for something that offers a snug fit for a smaller shaft, or you’re just looking for a regular rubber, we’ve got you covered with a range of shapes and sizes.

But the fun doesn’t end there. We’ve also got condoms that are ribbed for their pleasure, flavoured condoms for an extra tasty treat, and ultra-thin rubbers for an even closer feeling. And if latex condoms don’t agree with your bits, we’ve also got latex-free dingers to keep you safe and your downstairs happy.

When it comes to finding the right condom, you need to think like Goldilocks and make sure the size is juuuust right. But exactly how should a condom fit? Doodles come in all different shapes and sizes, which is why it’s important to find a Jimmy hat to fit your old fella.

There are very few instances in life where size matters, but fitting condoms is one of those times. If the condom is too big, it could slip off while doing the deed, leaving you and your playmate susceptible to STIs and potential pregnancy. On the other hand, if your love glove is too small it’ll feel uncomfortable and you could risk busting right through the bag while making woopie.

So to get an idea of the size of your schlong, it’s time to whip out the ruler and measure your member. Just be sure to do this while you’ve got a hard-on or you’ll end up with the wrong-sized dommies.

Start by measuring the length of your junk from the base of your peen to the tippy top of your knob. You’ll also want to take the girth of your wang at the thickest part using a cloth tape measure. If you don’t have a flexible measure on hand, use a piece of string instead and measure it against a ruler. Once you’ve got your measurements on hand, you can begin your hunt for the perfect-sized happy hat. Have a good look at the product description and specifications and compare them against your measurements to find the best size for you.

You’ll know you’ve found your match when your franger is firm but comfortable with no slipping or discomfort. Condoms are made to be tight, but not so tight that they feel like they’re about to bust at any second.

At Lovehoney, we stock a huge range of Johnny bags to suit all shapes and sizes. From regular old condoms to closer fit jimmys and extra large sheaths, we should have a rubber to fit your rod. You can even pick up a party pack if you’re keen to test out an assortment of action plastics.

Once you’ve nailed the fit of your franger, it’s time to master the art that is how to put on a condom.

First things first, you’ll want to make sure your dinger is ready for action. Unlike a fine wine, condoms don’t get better with age. In fact, the materials slowly deteriorate over time, leaving them more prone to breaking while bonking. So before you slip on your sock, it’s important to check that it’s still in date. Check the expiry listed on the individual dinger packet, and while you’re at it give it a good once over to make sure it hasn’t been tampered with. If you notice any rips, tears, holes or anything else suss, chuck it and grab a freshy. It’s not worth the risk.

Now that you’ve given the goods a once over, it’s time to move on to how to wear a condom right. Whether you’re putting your ‘dom on a willy or a toy, the same rules apply.

Start by removing your dinger from its foil wrapper by tearing the side and pulling out your happy hat. When it comes to how to put on a penis sleeve properly, it’s important to make sure you minimise any air in your Jimmy or you risk popping your protection. To do this, you’ll want to squeeze the tip of your dinger between your forefinger and thumb before placing it over the head of your willy or your boo’s boner, making sure the roll is on the outside. A word to the wise: Don’t attempt to slip on a snake lace if there’s no wind in your sails or your chub’s only at half-mast. It’s a battle not worth fighting, so wait until that party in your pants gets going.

While still squeezing the tip of the dong bag, use your free hand to gently roll the length of the kitten mitten down your bone or your lover’s junk. Once your rubber is securely in place and you’ve coated it in your favourite love juice, you’re ready to get down and dirty. Just make sure that your loobie of choice is compatible with the condom material or you could be in for a mid-bone breakage.

While most people are familiar with male, or external, dommies, you can also get internal condoms which are designed to be inserted into the vagina or anus. Like external condoms, internal frangers are also effective at protecting against pregnancy and STIs when used correctly. However, unlike male or external condoms, which are available in a range of different sizes, textures and flavours, internal condoms are a one-size-fits-all type situation, so there’s no need to whip out the measuring tape in this instance.

Internal condoms are often made from synthetic rubber and feature two flexible rings at either end. One end of the internal rubber is completely covered to create a physical barrier and protect both parties.

To use an internal condom, you’ll want to once again start by checking the expiry date and the individual packaging for any damage or potential contaminants. Once you’ve given it the all clear, carefully tear the package and gently remove the internal condom. Squeeze the flexible ring of the closed end before inserting it into the vajango or anoos. If you’re having trouble getting it in, apply a little bit of lube tube to help the process. The ring of the open side of the condom is designed to sit over part of the genital skin.

Again, internal condoms are single-use, so once you’ve had your way with it, carefully remove it, wrap it and bin it.
