Sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV infection and the potentially long-term disease that it can cause, AIDS, are some of the most widespread health problems worldwide, posing a serious threat to the lives of millions of people. These diseases, along with others such as syphilis or gonorrhea, are transmitted through one of the most physiologically pleasurable acts, the maintenance of sexual relations. Likewise, sex can also result in the appearance of pregnancies , sometimes in an undesired manner.

Fortunately we have different mechanisms that allow us to have sex in a safe way, being the most known and reliable among them the condom.

From the most primitive papyrus derivatives (in ancient Egypt) or animal casings to the most recent latex ones, due to their popularity and usefulness over time different types of condoms have been developed. Today we have a wide variety of condoms, developed by different brands. In this article we will make a brief classification of the best brands of condoms available on the market .

The eleven best brands of condoms

Prophylaxis when having sex is essential, especially if carried out in high-risk situations or with multiple sexual partners. But as we have seen before, there is a great variety of brands on the market, which sometimes make it difficult to decide on a particular option .

That is why we offer you a small classification of the eleven best brands of condoms. However, it must be taken into account that these classifications are general, being able to find different alternative people that fit more to your needs.

This classification is based on different research, such as the comparative research carried out by the University of Oregon, which evaluated aspects such as resistance, lubrication, speed and ease of use and slip and taste, and other classifications carried out by different organizations in countries such as Mexico. Based on the various investigations carried out, we can determine that some of the best brands in the market are the following .

1. Durex

One of the best brands of condoms is also one of the best known and most popular. This brand is considered to be one of the safest, being difficult to break
It also highlights the fact that it has some types that do not produce noise during sex, such as the Hight Sensation.

The American brand Trojan can be found in most of the main classifications made of the best condoms in the market, being classified as some of the safest.

It also stands out for its smell and taste, and for having variants with larger than standard sizes .

3. Control

Another of the most common and well-known brands, which have a wide variety of condom types (including some polyurethane). Control Fusion for example, is characterized by its high capacity to withstand pressure . There are also varieties with stretch marks, with a retarding effect or different flavours (such as passion fruit or peach).

4. One

This brand is considered to be one of the best. Among its advantages is the fact that its condoms tend to have one of the most uniform lubrications and be highly safe, in addition to the fact that the lubricant is pleasant to the text and does not have an unpleasant smell. It also has some types with a grooved effect , such as the One Pleasure Plus.
