Frequently Asked Questions and Myth Busting!
Condoms don't fit me or my partner...
Condoms come in a number of fits, to accommodate all shapes and sizes!
We offer Snug (49mm width), Regular (54mm width), and Magnum (60mm width) condoms through our ordering service.
If you or your partner are finding the condom uncomfortable, it's worth experimenting to see which size works best for you.
Please be aware that occasionally other brands may be supplied that have slightly different measurements.
Condoms don't feel nice...
Condoms are extremely thin and are designed to be as discreet as possible. They are your best defence against STIs, which can have symptoms that really don't feel nice!
If condoms are causing itchiness or rashes, you may have a latex allergy. We also offer latex free condoms.
We also offer condoms in different sizes, so you can find the one that works best for you/your partner. It may be that the condom is too large, or too small. You may need additional lubricant.
What do my condoms arrive in?
My partner took a condom off during sex...
When people agree to have sex with a condom and then someone either lies about putting a condom on or removes it without the other person's permission, it is commonly known as stealthing.
Under English and Welsh law, the act of stealthing is considered rape. This means that anyone who carries out stealthing can be prosecuted for the criminal offence of rape. This is a very serious crime which carries the same maximum sentence as murder: life in prison.
If this happens to you, support is available. You can contact the local Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC), Acer House, for free, compassionate healthcare and guidance.
My partner is pressuring me into having sex without a condom...
If you don't want to have sex without a condom, you have every right to say no, and your partner should respect that. Pressure, guilt, or ignoring your boundaries isn’t respectful and isn’t okay.
You deserve a partner who listens to you and respects your choices. If you’re feeling unsure or unsafe in your relationship, please reach out for support.
