There’s a lot to consider when picking the best condom for anal sex, including thickness, strength and lubrication. Look for plain condoms without ribs or studs that could irritate the anus. And always use water or silicone lubricant that’s safe for latex condoms.
Health educators have long encouraged using protection during anal sex, which spreads STDs faster than vaginal sex. But until 2022, there were no condoms explicitly tested and approved for anal penetration.
ONE Condoms
ONE offers condoms in different textures, sizes, and flavors. Its ribbed condoms are designed to add sensation for both partners and include a lubricant, which can reduce friction. It also sells stud-style condoms that can be placed between the partner’s anus and genitals to protect from STDs.
The company’s newest product, ONE The Legend, is wider and longer than standard condoms to accommodate endowed men. A portion of proceeds from this condom helps fund HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment initiatives.
ONE Condoms use Sensatex, an advanced latex that is said to feel softer and thicker than standard condoms. Some models are flavored or textured to enhance pleasure, while others are spermicide-coated to prevent pregnancy and the spread of STIs. If you’re using a latex condom, be sure to apply enough water-based lubrication. Oil-based lubes can weaken the rubber and cause it to break down. The company also makes a line of non-latex polyisoprene condoms that may be a good choice for individuals or partners who are allergic to latex.
Kimono MicroThin
Kimono MicroThin is a thin, premium latex condom. It’s a favorite among users and consistently rated as the best thin condom in condom reviews. It uses a combination of Japanese engineering, premium natural latex, and a proprietary formula to produce a condom that is among the thinnest in America. It’s also 5X tested and meets or exceeds US and international standards for strength and reliability. It’s silky smooth and lubricated with a natural feeling water based lube called Aqua Lube.
Kimono MicroThin has a straight wall shape that makes donning easier. It’s also a full 20% thinner than a leading competitor’s thin condom for a barely-there feel. Plus, it’s odor free and lubricated without spermicide.
Caution Wear Iron Grip
Caution Wear is an adult brand with a wide selection of condom types to suit your bedroom desires. Their Iron Grip condoms have a tighter fit than traditional latex condoms and are lubricated with premium lubricant. They also have a low latex odor and are 100% electronically tested.
These snugger-fitting condoms are made from natural rubber latex and lubricated with ultra-smooth silicone-based lubricant. They are a great choice for men who have size concerns about their regular-sized condoms. The tighter fit of the Iron Grip condoms allows them to hug your penis more closely and heighten pleasure for both you and her.
The snugger fit also gives them less stretch than other condoms and gives them the smallest fit of any condom approved by the FDA. If you have a smaller penis, the Iron Grip condoms might just be your best option for anal sex. Many people love the way they feel and the traction that prevents slipping. However, some have reported that they can break if you are too enthusiastic during intercourse or if you are a smaller man who overextends during sex.
Durex Invisible
The Durex Invisible is one of the thinnest condoms on the market and also provides superior sensitivity. This product is shaped differently than the regular Durex latex condoms so it’s easier to put on. It also contains more lubricant to enhance pleasure and reduce breakage during anal sex.
This product is ideal for men who want heightened sensitivity but don’t have a latex allergy. It has no latex taste or odour and is suitable for oral, vaginal, and anal sex. It’s also infused with benzocaine to extend ejaculation and increase sensations.
It’s easy to use and has no latex odour or taste, which is great for people who have sensitive skin. It also has a reservoir for extra protection. It’s easy to roll and the flexible material allows for a snug fit. It’s important to use condoms correctly to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. While no method of contraception works 100%, this product is an effective way to protect yourself during sex. If you’re allergic to latex, talk to your doctor about other safe birth control options.
ONE UltraFeel
ONE’s newest condom innovation is the UltraFeel, which features a premium thin condom and a 2 ml lube pack in a convenient 2-in-1 package. Using additional lubricant with condoms is recommended by many organizations for safer sex.
Featuring MicroRoll technology, which creates a super-thin bead of latex at the base of the condom for a more comfortable fit and new SheerSkin latex that’s thinner than human hair, this condom is the thinnest ONE condom yet. It also uses ONE’s proprietary form of latex, which is softer and moves with the body.
Using a condom that rolls on to the penis more comfortably is important, especially for guys. This is why ONE designed the UltraFeel to do just that. The condom is shaped and designed to fit the curve of the penis better, so it’s easier to roll on without making a mess. It’s also pre-lubricated, and ONE’s TotalGlide technology ensures the condom is fully lubricated from base to tip. That way you can focus on pleasure and safety.
