We Promise—These Sexpert-Approved Flavored Condoms Won’t Taste Anything Like Latex and Lube

Ah, the flavored condom—a tried-and-true novelty contraceptive found in bachelorette parties and gas station restrooms, alike, but not something people *really* use in the bedroom, right? Well, why not? Thanks to innovations in condom development, gone are the days of overpowering latex scents, nauseating fake flavors, and plastic-y lube smells.

What is the point of flavored condoms?

These tasty treats can bring some real flavor to the bedroom, keeping both parties safe and satisfied. “Some are very tasty and sweet,” says sexologist Marla Renee Stewart, sexpert for Lovers, a sexual wellness brand. “They make oral sex more fun and flavorful [while] protecting your mouth from STDs or STIs.”

What to look for in flavored condoms

But before you run down to the local drugstore to pick up a pack of mouth-watering rubbers, Stewart says to keep an eye on the ingredient label. Like anything else you eat, do your due diligence before you get down and dirty. One major red flag may be latex. If you have a latex allergy, stay far away from these flavored condoms. Depending on your body and your tolerance, other red flags could include the flavoring, spermicides, or scents. And if you’re pairing condoms (flavored or not) with lubes, make sure you use a water-based one, which is safe for latex (and usually makes for easier clean-up afterward).

Do flavored condoms actually taste?

Also worth noting: “Most flavorful condoms contain glycerin or glucose, which is another name for sugar, so if you’re a person that has to stay away from sugar, you should probably not use these condoms,” says Stewart. Plus: “Flavored condoms are full of artificial ingredients, so if you have a hard time ingesting those, then you should stay away from them.”

Can flavored condoms go inside you?

Flavored condoms are designed to be used during oral sex. The additional flavors, sugars, etc. may cause irritation or an adverse reaction so it’s best to avoid them during vaginal sex and/or read the instructions on the box.

Should you decide to proceed, we’ve rounded up a slew of sexpert-approved options below.

Lifestyles Assorted Flavored Condoms — $1.00
