Anal, blockchain and artificial intelligence all have something in common, and that’s that they’ve all been going mainstream over the last few years. The taboo surrounding anal is slowly fading, and every day that passes, we’re getting more excited.
Even though it’s not to everyone’s taste, anal is great fun and can provide some unique sensations to both you and your partner. However, you’ve got to stay protected!
This article is all about the best condoms for anal & what’s important when using/selecting one.
Without further ado, let’s get started!
How to Choose The Best Condoms for Anal
When buying condoms for anal, it’s not just about whether or not they’ll protect you. Sure, this is a big part of it, but there are many other things you should consider when buying condoms for anal. Below, we’ve listed just a few to get you started!
Strength
Ensuring your condoms have been thoroughly tested prior to you using them is vital. All condoms on this list have been thoroughly tested by both the companies themselves as well as a vast number of the general public.
Thickness
The thinner a condom is, the more it feels like skin-on-skin contact. Thin condoms, although often with a slightly higher inclination to break, provide a highly stimulating sensation that can make anal even more fun.
Lubrication
Anal is no fun without lube, so if you ever want to get creative with anal on the go, then ensuring the condom is thoroughly lubed up is vital. Condoms with insufficient lube pre-applied will need you to bring extra lube which can make a condom less versatile in use.
Allergies
Even though most condoms are made from latex, there are a few options on the market that don’t. So there is some choice if you suffer from latex allergies but that’s not all you need to think about. The lubricant that’s pre-applied on the condom also shouldn’t cause any allergic reaction for it to be right for you. Also, note that not all non-latex condoms are suitable for anal, for example, avoid using lambskin ones (because they don’t protect against the spread of viruses).
Extra features
There are many extra features like textured exterior, numbing effects and much more. Sure, an extra feature or two can be great, just don’t get carried away. Every extra feature that’s not enjoyed is probably one that’s going to get one of you annoyed.

FAQs:
How do I know if I’m allergic to condoms?
Well, there are a lot of different factors that can indicate a condom allergy. However, the word “condom allergy” isn’t quite right, as you’re allergic to the material a condom is made from and not the condom itself.
Check out this article by HealthLine to learn more about condom allergy symptoms.
What kind of lube is best for anal?
We’ve actually got a whole post on the best anal lubes! But, the most important thing is that they’re thick enough to lubricate properly. Silicone or oil-based lubes are normally preferred, but these don’t always work well with condoms.
After you’ve bought your anal condoms, check what material they’re made of and see which thick lubes go best with that material!
It’s my first time having anal sex, any tips?
Hundreds! The most important one would be to warm up beforehand. Make sure there’s plenty of foreplay, and if possible use a warm compress on the area to help “loosen it up” (the cleaning helps too!). Oh, and use lots of lube!
To be honest, we could go on and on about this topic, but we have a separate post about getting into anal sex.
