Artimides: Contraception information series: Part 2
Things you should remember about barrier methods:
- Oil based lubricants (massage oils, Vaseline etc) degrade latex
- Extra strength condoms can be better for anal
- Lambskin condoms don’t protect against pregnancy
- Some people are allergic to flavors
- Condoms come in all kinds of sizes. And one brand’s large can be another brand’s regular. Shop around to see what fits.
- Keeping barrier methods in your wallet can degrade their quality
- A lot of folks have allergic reactions to spermicidal lubes
- Also spermicide shortens the shelf-life of condoms
- For that matter, barrier methods have a shelf life. Make sure yours are in date.
- Stick to popular brands like Durex or Trojan, other less-known brands may not be of a high enough quality
- Swap your condom if swapping from anal to vaginal
- Use condoms for toys if you’re sharing
- Dental dams come in various flavors
- Vaginal condoms are generally latex free but double check because you do get the odd brand that makes them in latex.
