Choosing the Right Condom to Avoid Erectile Dysfunction
According to a study published in Sexual Health, 37% of men reported that in the previous three months, they lost at least one erection while trying to put on a condom. But why? Are condoms really that uncomfortable or difficult to put on in a timely manner? Not if you follow these tips.

  1. Choose the right condom size. Granted, no one wants to be seen buying an extra small condom, but according to the international research company Lucky Bloke, the truth is that 35% of men actually need a smaller-than-average condom. (“Average” meaning the majority of condoms sold at stores.) Yes, there are some men that need a larger-than-average condom, but they only make up 15% of condom users.

But buying the right size condom isn’t just about comfort or making it faster to put on. An accurately sized condom can also better protect you from sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancy. Too tight and it could tear; too large and it could slide off during sex.

The best way to determine which size condom will likely fit best (besides actually trying them on) is to put your erect penis into an empty toilet paper roll. A near-perfect fit means you’ll need the standard size. If the cardboard feels too tight, go with the larger size condom. If you’ve got room to spare, buy the smaller size.

  1. Choose the right condom material. Obviously, if you have a latex allergy you’ll stay want to use non-latex brands, but many people just prefer non-latex condoms because they transfer body heat better. In addition, non-latex condoms tend to be more comfortable and less restrictive.
  2. Choose the right thickness. Thick isn’t always better when it comes to condoms and in fact, ultra-thin condoms may feel closer to not wearing a condom at all, compared to thicker rubbers.

If you suspect it’s more than just the condom causing your erectile dysfunction, talk to your doctor about getting a prescription for one of the top ED drugs like Cialis.
